Be careful, be very, very careful with how you use them, especially near a flight path.

I have one darkish sky site that is directly under a flight path to a big airport. Early evening there can be flights every 15 mins. So I've been exceedingly careful.
Interestingly, if I'm dark adapted and have my back to the flight and am observing, I see the strobe lights casting shadows in front of me before I hear the plane!
You definitely have to watch children. If they get one in their hands, it's Luke Skywalker in action!
ps. 5mW green is plenty! What do you want to do, burn holes in passing birds!
