Why not just use ordinary laser pointers and periodically replace the
batteries?
More utter stupidity from the dipshit notorious for not even reading
the thread.

He's a troll-baiter, working towards his Master status. ;-)
You know, you start out as an apprentice baiter, then work your way up
to journeyman baiter, and if you're really outstanding, you become a
master...
Even if what you say is true, someone may think they suffer vision
damage (or have a pre-existing condition for that matter) and find it
expedient to haul you in for a criminal trial to set the basis for a
civil suit later (cheap and effective way to get money). And some
states may allow them to tap into a "victim's compensation fund,"
supported with taxes and fines.
The government and jury will have seen the warnings on laser pointers
and be biased that they are indeed dangerous, and along comes the
prosecutions "expert," to finish you off.
I like your idea - but I wouldn't do it.
But as long as they say they are dangerous, you won't find me staring
one down. That's a risk with no upside that I can see (little pun).
How about a little alarm clock? set the stools to squawk when it
comes time to round them up?
I was looking at them awhile back to set up a little pager system in a
hotel where fooze ball enthusiasts compete - to know when their number
was up - only to find someone was already making a similar pager
system - used in hospitals and the like to keep track of people -
ultra cheap receivers so people can walk off with one without costing
a lot. That might be your ticket - cheap(?), high tech, and ready to
roll.

I did and suffered no permanent damage. It took a good two minutes for
the after image to go away, about the same as a camera flash. It is very
uncomfortable to look into for more than a fraction of a second
And now that I think about it, I've never seen one with a non-momentary
switch. Could it be that they build up too much heat if they are left on?
I hadn't considered that, but now I'm wondering how long standard
batteries would last.

This is why we need to start killing all the lawyers, or at least set up a
loser pays system - like the rest of the world.
I want something that I don't have to be interrupted to operate while I'm
doing other things.
Perhaps a laser is the wrong approach, maybe a pulsed bright LED and a
collimating lens would be legally acceptable.
Bye.
