The laser classifications list maximum output. I believe IIIa is 1/2 milliwatt, not 5 milliwatts. If they have been modified, they no longer fall within the same class. See this site for more info: http://www.lasersafety.net/CFR/class3.htm Brent --- Chuck Hards <chuckhards@yahoo.com> wrote:

It depends on output. My little red laser says right on the label "class IIIa".
BUT-check out http://www.z-bolt.com
They list a MODIFIED green laser pointer, with an output of from 7.5-50mw! 50mw would be very dangerous, this is output even beyond the average lab tube-type laser.

Brent, in what classes do both red and green lasers fall?
