Format: Markdown version of the HTML page (same content, lookups and page chrome left out).

Laser pointers, laser levels, laser engravers and the companies behind the technology. Safety first: in the U.S. the FDA limits laser pointers sold for pointing to 5 milliwatts (Class 3R); stronger handheld lasers can blind in an instant and are not toys. Shining any laser at an aircraft is a federal crime, and pilots report thousands of laser strikes a year. Use eye protection rated for your laser's wavelength, and keep lasers away from kids. All stores and makers below are commercial.
