I’m in the USA and my mommy government doesn’t want me to be in control of my life (they’re illegal). Can you ship the laser in multiple parts in different packages so customs will pass it through? If yes, how much extra does it cost? I’ve already had one Dragon Laser confiscated by customs during shipping and it kind of sucks losing that much money.

im sure he will ship it to you inside a flashlight or something.. I hope.. or else I cant buy one either.. Grin

I'd be interested in a green laser that's better than 5mW, but not so powerful that the reflections off of dust particles fuck you up.

My 5mW green I use for star pointing, but if there's not much dust in the air, people nearby have problems seeing unless they're closer to me. But what I don't know is what the "limit" would be so that if I accidentally caught the reflection off like a sign or something that it also wouldn't fuck my shit up.

Whatever that value of X is to be as bright as possible w/out fucking my shit up on stupid reflections, that's the green laser I want.

Now I understand that staring at it would be bad, but like soon as I see it have time to turn away/blink. What power green would that be?

I've heard about 75mW is perfect for star pointing. Very bright beam but not bright enough to reduce your night vision. You shouldn't really worry about reflections unless you are using hundreds of milliwatts or the reflective surface is very close and very reflective (like a mirror), only a direct hit should be any concern.

I have a fairly cheap 50mW laser that I use for pointing out stars as well as a finder for my telescope, and it works great even if you're not looking right down the barrel. Just make sure you get one with a proper IR filter. Some of the cheap DPSS green lasers are a hazard. Tongue

Wicked Lasers's advertisement team has the answer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzsNGiV1YXU#t=0m35s

Uh that's just video editing... Undecided

No shit, sherlock, it's just a joke

Also, good news: I've ordered parts for two more blue 1.3W lasers, and a 100mW green one. They should arrive within a week, two weeks max, but you never know with the postal service..

I'm also investigating how to offer a reliable 1.8-2W laser, because of the interest. I'd have to use a different host because it would need better heatsinking, and I'm not sure of the batteries either. Some CR123s can't handle the current draw. I'll get back to you guys.

Or one of those sexy survival lasers SS host? Grin

How about a chassis from a bigger flashlight with two 18650s?

They look very cool. But what are they intended to be used for? They are definitively too strong for playing around and too weak to cut materials. I am sure there are billions of other uses for lasers but right now none comes to my mind. So a round of question to the interested parties: what would you use yours for?

It's hard to explain, things don't have to have a practical use to have a value. I know I said in my first post that lasers are not toys, but then again, maybe they are toys for grownups. The magnificent beam in the night sky is a sight that always makes me gape in awe. And the gadget factor is just enormous

Though they do have some actual applications:

Astronomy (Pointing out stars)
Aligning stuff
Signaling
Long range illumination
Violet lasers can detect UV-sensitive markings (invisible pens for example)
Creating fire

FIRE! .. waiting for the blue to be in stock!

Grix, I support your store fully.

Let me know when you get a high powered Spyder Arctic III green.

When will you have lasers in other price ranges in stock? Also what other styles of lasers can we expect and by when. You have some very cool stuff. I'd be interested in things in the 160$ price area. Thanks!

Read the thread, hehe, I think I've answered that at least three times

Yes, there will be more laser in the catalog soon, including green lasers in various powers, weaker red and violet lasers, and possibly a more powerful blue laser. tl;dr: a bunch of more lasers.

How wide can the beam be spread with the included lens?
Also, how about a green laser that will work as a pointer for a presentation, so isn't dangerous, but is brighter than the usual stuff?

You can unscrew the lens completely, which will make the beam as wide as a regular flashlight (Over 1 meter diameter dot a few meters away).

I will order green lasers in various powers very soon.

I noticed that the wickedlaser pointers claim that they can stay on continuously without you worrying about overheating. Do they just have a badass heatsink on them?

Their spyder III series is massive, yes, but I think the most important factor is that they have set the current quite low on purpose to avoid lasers breaking. In others words, the diodes in their lasers could potentially produce much more power, but then they would also produce more heat.

Yay, I can read the invisible ink for a fraction of a second before the paper catches fire (assuming the violet ones are as powerful as the others)

You can unfocus the laser until it becomes no more dangerous than a flashlight, hehe
