I'm not sure these are a good idea. Couldn't someone conceivably arsonate (probably not a real word... but should be!) someone else's house from far away? I'm not sure how hot they get but I imagine if you left it in one spot long enough you could get some ignition.

I think a 1 watt laser will diffuse pretty fast in the atmosphere. Effective range on this thing can't be more than a couple meters.

Someone could strap those to sharks!!!
When I was younger, I used to think that the world was doing it to me and that the world owes me some thing…When you're a teeny bopper, that's what you think. I'm 40 now, I don't think that anymore, because I found out it doesn't f--king work. One has to go through that. For the people who even bother to go through that, most assholes just accept what it is anyway and get on with it." - John Lennon

Ive seen the super (over $100) lasers in action....
They can noticably reflect off stuff a mile a way (street signs are the most fun). It's a little 'wow' the range they get.... however, the real question should be... why?
