Aaargh! My eyes!
Rule 1:
When buying a cheap and cheerful inspection light from the local discount centre, don't turn it on while looking at it!
My, those LEDs are bright!
I watched some interesting sparkly patterns with my eyelids shut for 10 minutes or so...

I read the instructions on ours "Do not look directly into LEDs" then did it anyway  It has 39 of them and leaves a lasting impression.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I've just bought a laser pointer straight line thingy.
You have no idea how tempting it is to have a quick look. But so far the better part of my judgement is winning. So far.

^ Resist the temptation, unless you want to see a black dot everywhere you look for the rest of your life.

Friend was annoying me when I had my camera out a few weeks back. Without thinking I put the flash in her face and triggered it.
A flash rated at 43 meters isn't a good thing to fire in someones face. An hour later she still had a while spot in her eyes. I was starting to
brick it that i'd done permanent damage. I hadn't but have never done it again.....
(although if ever some one attacks me and i've got the flash handy i know what i'm going to do!)

reminds me of when i lived in india, you'd see blokes arc welding on construction sites with no eye protection at all. Surely you'd just
go blind after a while?
