I also have one that is great for pointing at stars. Powerful enough to burn dark colors, pop a baloon or a slight burn on skin. Easier to burn if your skin is darker. Mine I think is 50mW. Typical pointer is 5 or less. A 1W pointer is extremely powerful. I was surprised they even exist battery powered, but I guess there's been advancements since I bought mine.

The world we live in isn't just dystopic, it isn't just stupid, trying to describe all the ways it sucks just makes for a really boring story.
