green laser pointer part deux

Green laser pointers are tres cool but have a serious drawback; they suck current out of AAA batteries like a two bit hooker AND NiMH rechargables do not have enough voltage to drive the laser. I have to reconsider whether they are a good choice for everyday use.

Green laser pointers!!!one111~

I just got a green laser pointer. This thing is insanely bright. I wimped out though and got the 5 mW version. What I should have splurged for is the military grade 120 mW version, which can light match heads on fire and burn through plastic! That would be a neat gadget to have in a lecture hall...
