Just a thought.......

Does anyone know what the "dangerous" range is for these things?

It's just that the beam on my 25mw pointer spreads out significantly over 20 meters and I doubt it would even dazzle someone at 500 meters would it be as bright as a car's headlight - would you see it and say "oo, that's a bright green (or blue) light - I don't know........

I'm sure the authorities have run some tests or measurements to actually prove there is a danger

Sorry for the dumb questions but - 25mw is not much power at all and, if it's not focused perfectly (are any of them), it will dissipate very quickly.
