Love this one too. I have a little laser pen to exercise my dog!
b.t.w. The places I've looked for IR lasers for firearms and filters for Sure-Lights etc. can be difficult to get unless you have a Mil or LE letterhead. IR filters for flashlights aren't much of a problem, but I've found that the bandwidth of the modern US NV equipment is different from the 1st gen Soviet era and the 1st gen don't see a lot of IR laser diodes. A mix of dark red, green and blue cellophane wrapping on a flashlight lens is bright in both NVGs and videos with night-shot (glows dull red to naked eye) and I'm going to try over-exposed Ektachrome! Arrays of IR leds are easy to make and buy, but scavanged IR lasers from laser printers are super-bright in a camcorder a verrrry long way off (but not necessarily in 1st gen stuff)!
Oops again. Caveat: my IR experimenting had to do with wildlife observation.
Enjoy!

For instance, an IR laser used in conjunction with NVG's has an application... and looks different on YouTube when the .mil guys were using them. Not a normal civilian use (or possibly legal for us to use either). Flash lights, lasers, night sights, heavy lap dog (that chases the dot), whatever, they all have their uses.
