Don't think that Jennifer, we all had to start learning somewhere.
My learning experience with lasers began a long time ago with industrial lasers, yet, I still didn't twig that my first, so called, 50mW GL laser was, in fact, only a 5mW, although it soon became apparent. However, it wotked just fine, for my requirements.
After that, I then imported my first true 40mW (rifle laser sight), and that was bright, in fact, a little too bright for my astronomy requirements. I now only use the 5mW, as they are adequate enough for me to point my scope towards the first alignment star.
Most of the lasers coming out of China are often labelled incorrectly, and fail regularly, so I tend not to bother with the cheap Chinese stuff.
