Recieved the 10 mW unit from bintel a few days ago and it works very nicely. Comparing it to a 5mW unit a fellow astro dork has, the only detectable difference might be in the thickness of the beam, not penetration of the diode laser beam itself.
Still, you would want to be extremely careful where you point these things, the 10mW unit will put a point of green light on any solid object up to 1.5 Km away in the dark.
Use with a lot of caution me now thinks..
But astro people i reckon have a good measure of sense.
