Laser pointer power requirements?

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...

You are older than Grandma's hills, and far more ugly too, boy.

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.

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 like your idea - but I wouldn't do it.

I probably won't either, just because the boss wouldn't reimburse me for
costs.
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).

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
How about a little alarm clock? set the stools to squawk when it
comes time to round them up?

It's not about rounding them up at the end of the day. It's so customers
can find them during business hours.
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.

The restaurants around here use them so people can shop the neighborhood
while waiting for a table.

I want something that I don't have to be interrupted to operate while I'm
doing other things.

I hadn't considered that, but now I'm wondering how long standard
batteries would last.

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?

You are the biggest fucking retard in all the electronics groups.
You are a fucking disgrace, AND a fucking stupid fucktard.

Maybe that is what happened to your fucking brain, boy.

Well, it seems to turn out that lasers are probably not that great an
idea, but somebody called "default", a few posts up-thread, suggested
helium balloons - you can get them pretty cheap at the variety store,
usually. They might say, "Happy Birthday" or something, but who cares?
they're chair buoys. Sometimes they have them dangling upwards from the
racks. :)

In fact, I've been thinking of marketing something like that for a car
finder - you put an additional button on your key fob, and when you press
it, the car releases a helium balloon that goes maybe 20 feet in the air -
Ah! There it is! :)

Good Luck!

Jay Leno: "The White House fires several lawyers and the people choose to
side with the lawyers. That shows how far the administration has fallen".

Perhaps a laser is the wrong approach, maybe a pulsed bright LED and a
collimating lens would be legally acceptable.

Bye.
