Any laser listed on Massdrop will have to meet US import requirements, which does mean that we cannot exceed 5 mW versions.
Please do not expect us to list a 2000 mW laser. They are both illegal and highly dangerous, since you can incur serious eye damage just by looking at the dot on a wall. This is makes it a significant threat both for the operator of the laser as well as people unfortunate enough to be near an amateur laser operator.
If I am unable to get a lock on a really cool looking laser pointer that has 5mW output by the end of the month, I am going to close this poll.
The short version is - Lasers are fine to be over 5 mW as long as they aren't "Laser Pointers". These clearly are, and since it's highly unlikely that this group is going to be happy with a 5 mW laser, I'm actually going to close this poll.
