Hi Folks
Yes there is a deal for IFAS members on laser pointers up to 20mw and theyre guaranteed I negotiated this last year but there hasn't been much take up ,the deal is xtra good as they send them over as "samples" :idea:
Any one interested PM me and if this topic arises again and I dont pick it up let them know about me and I'll sort it out . 8)

Interested in getting a pointer however i've a couple of young kids.

How dangerious are these things? would an accidental blast in the eye do any damage?

Big time, these green >5mW lasers things are deadly to the eye and are not play things.
I had one there a few months ago and I shone a beam that you could see for miles in night time and was visible even in twilight and indoors in daytime !!

My adolescent kitten loves the laser pointer! I wave it all around the place (taking care not to 'hit' him) and he goes mad! Runs all over the place chasing it, climbs the walls, into boxes - one of the funniest things I have seen in a long long time! :lol:

We have heard the saying "as blind as a bat", but fairly soon now we will have a new saying "As blind as Seanie's cat"... :lol: :lol:
