    It’s a nice sentiment, but things haven’t exactly worked out for the pro-democracy movement in HK.

    Am I the only one thinking about the possible eye damage from all that random laser flying around? But maybe these pens don’t have enough power to require eye protection.

      No, they do. Never shine a laser in someone’s eye, regardless the laser power or wavelength.

      Edit: Light between 400-1400 nm can enter your lens and damage your fovea. Anything else will begin to cook your eye.

    I was able to burn a piece of paper once by taking a laser pointer and using a magnifying glass to focus it onto a black part of the paper.

    If you cover it in a glow in the dark material, preferably something that glows bright for a relatively short period of time, people could make drawings on it.

    I’ve seen glasses or caps you can buy that use infrared. I believe some cameras can have a filter to block it though. But add LEDs too.

    In my experience, the blue (405nm) lasers pointers can far, far exceed the nominal (5mW?) power.
