How powerful is Jasper?
Jasper has a maximum nominal output power of 5mw (milliwatts), which is the maximum allowed for a Class IIIa laser. A milliwatt is 1/1000 of a watt, so Jasper uses only a tiny fraction of the power required by everyday household lamps. Because all of Jasper’s energy in concentrated into a tiny area, its beam is amazingly bright.
