After giving you something to think about in the poll about the brightest laser, it is time to show you how to calculate lumens (and lux) from a laser to find the answer.
It is relatively easy for a monochromatic light source like a laser. And the results make it obvious, why the Laserglow Hercules has the most visible beam of all my lasers.
Wanna guess how many lux it is? Sunlight is max 100,000 lux in case you need a reference.

Thanks for helping out with the luxmeter, spectrometer and laser power meter making this video possible! The experimental show laser was donated by Wicked Lasers. Perfect for the purpose of this video.

After some laser videos (celebrating the 60th anniversary of the laser) my next video will be in the Monster Magnet Meets series. Should be an interesting one :)

What makes green lasers the BEST lasers?

Green lasers have both advantages and disadvantages. For safety reasons I have so far focused on telling about the possible infrared leakage from some types of green lasers. To a point where it seems like I wouldn't recommend green lasers at all... But I do! They have a big advantage that makes them awesome and maybe even safer to use than other lasers: lumens. I explain how in this video.
