Hi folks. New member here, barely know anything about lasers and especially about what's available and what costs how much, so please bear with me.
I want a laser line module (or a point module with a line attachment) that would be visible outdoors during the day (or at least evening) in the shade at a distance of 5 m. I reckon I need a green laser due to the human eye sensitivity curve peaking in the green area.
Is this even feasible? What kind of power do I need?
I've purchased a pair of 5 mW red line modules, thinking to myself: "Surely this will do, because IT'S A LASER!". I have received them today and am immensely disappointed, they are unbelievably feeble. So now I'm aware of the challenges behind this task :)
