9mm 780nm 5mW Red Dot/Point IR Laser Module
This IR laser can be powered using a 2.8-3.6V power source, great for CNC machines and other devices that have a targeting system. It also has a lens that allows the light to refracted into a dot or point shape. The dot is very accurate and has enough power to operate on 3x AA batteries.
These diodes are <5mW output.

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.
