LASER-125 650nm 5mW Red Dot Laser Diode Module Class: IIIa
This diode can be powered using a 3.3v-6v power source, great for cnc machines and other devices that have a targeting system only. It also has a lens that allows the light to refracted into a dot shape that can be adjusted for focus. The dot is very accurate and has enough power to operate on 3AA batteries. Initial testing showed us that it could operate from 75 feet and still have clarity and precision over air!
These diodes are 5mW output, and have a safety label marked on them. For more information on laser safety and ratings check out the Wikipedia page

Safe use guidance - general
A laser rated as class 3R or lesser rating is low powered. It normally would not harm the eyes during a momentary exposure of less than 1/4 second. This is well within the aversion response, where a person turns away and/ or blinks to avoid bright light.
Do not deliberately look or stare into the laser beam. Laser protective eyewear is normally not necessary. A laser rated at class 3R or less is not a skin or materials burn hazard.
However, a laser rated at class 3R or lesser rating can be a distraction, glare or flashblindness hazard for pilots and drivers. NEVER aim any laser towards an aircraft or vehicle that is in motion.
ONLY ALLOW USE BY RESPONSIBLE PERSONS. This is not a toy. Children can safely use a laser rated at Class 3R or lesser rating, but only with continuous adult supervision.
