<p class="MsoNormal">In my experience, we have not been able to get a white laser that was safe and legal without a variance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And even a 2 watt laser is easily powerful enough to cause eye damage, if used incorrectly.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">I would like to create a realistic starry sky effect to fill an auditorium. For a number of years, I've been keeping my eye out for when someone makes a laser projector
that creates white stars, and doesn't show an obvious grid pattern. I am glad to see that a manufacturer finally decided to create one. I've seen such a unit listed as "Night Sky White Twinkling Stars Universe Laser". Available in both 2 and 5 watt configurations.
Though anything from China should be assumed to have extremely exaggerated specs)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

this device.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Also, 5 watts is a lot of laser power. I realize that this is dividing the beam into many points, so even if it is 5 watts, each point is a small fraction of the total power.
Also, some Chinese laser pointer mfg, have been known for omitting the infrared filter, creating more potential harm. So, I wonder if this unit is eye safe?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
