The <90mW and the <110mW lasers are seemingly identical to the eye. The <110mW has a slightly brighter beam although the eye doesn't register this as well as the camera can. Heatwise, the <90mW will barely sting your fingers... even after 30 seconds. You can feel it but it's nothing to write home about. However, the <110mW will sting in approximately 2 seconds. Don't be doing this all the time... tissue damage may result with prolonged exposure.

No, not the Nexus... the Nexus is only <5mW stronger.... This is a 90mW Wicked beside a <110mW Wicked.

Sadly, no. Sure I'd love to work with stronger lasers but the higher powered models are a little scarce at the moment and I'd probably prefer to jump just a little higher in output... say <130mW+ The <110mW lasers really are ideal for most applications - unless you need more heat of course.
I'm spending any spare cash on mirrors and accessories at the moment to be able to get the most out of these lasers. My next item is a cheap laser-crab/scarab which I intend to open up and make room for a Wicked Laser. Trying to get the battery powered model for some outside performances!

Thanks David. My wife complains when I work with the lasers because she has to use her safety goggle when in the room and she can't stand the incense I've been using (called Ocean Breeze). Might try for some Strawberry scented incence next time. These pictures came out fairly good. I've got some more to do with different props soon.

Have you ever tried using dry ice to help illuminate the beam? I'm curious how that might turn out.

| I'm thinking of getting a small smoke machine. $29 plus the cost of fog juice. |

Remember that the smoke machines will set of a fire alarm.
