I have looked around a little, so to preface: yes, I will be buying safety glasses and I will take the utmost care not to harm myself or others.
I'm interested in getting a green laser(because they seem cool), but violet lasers also look kind of neat so I'm considering getting one of those instead.
I would want a bright one, but I DON'T want one that will burn things/pop balloons/light matches/etc.
My question is: What is the highest mW I could go with a violet laser without it having any of the previously mentioned burning qualities? And, at that mW would it still be highly visible in a dark room/at night without smoke or fog?
