It's a 700mA LED, it can perform even better if I use a tube to concentrate the light

Ah, a serious retina burner

Yes. I was more careful with my setup than when I do high voltage. Voltage zaps, retina burn is not recoverable

Yep, got to watch for that in the field. All it takes is accidentally
hitting a shiny surface that reflects it into an eye. I knew a guy who
slowly turned blind because he got hit with a high power radar beam that
