    exploding Li-ion batteries from Wicked Lasers?

    I've confirmed that batteries being shipped now are Sanyo UR18650A 2250mAh. These are much better then the greens that were first shipped.

    Wicked Lasers 445nm <1W Spyder III Pro Arctic Series

    I am an engineer, though I have not personally disected one of these. Is this standpoint based on your own inspection or hearsay from someone else? Hopefully there are at least detailed pictures indicating this. The driver in their DPSS (532/473nm) Spyder III's was actually pretty good. You are...

    Wicked Lasers 445nm <1W Spyder III Pro Arctic Series

    The data was not tampered with, it's automatically entered. I have no way to alter it and it would take way to long and completely screw up the system for wicked to alter it. The reason I checked was so I could in good faith respond to your claims, nothing more. The fact is though that of the...

    Wicked Lasers 445nm <1W Spyder III Pro Arctic Series

    I have access to the database info itself, not just something I was "told" by someone at Wicked. I know more then you may think, and have been around before LPF even existed. You seem disgruntled and bent on making Wicked look bad. I'm just offering some information stating that while there...

    Wicked Lasers 445nm <1W Spyder III Pro Arctic Series

    Having questioned Wicked about the claims of lasers breaking etc, I have checked into this and was provided with the statistics indicating that less then 1% of the thousands of Arctics sold have had been RMA'd. Print out of database for items shipped vs items RMA'd. Having recieved both a G1...

    modable laser list...

    Most of the 532nm cheap eBay lasers are modable to some extent. However leadlights tend to have slightly larger crystal sets then most cheap greenies, thus it would handle the increased pump energy better then an easily over saturated tiny crystal. Basically I believe you will still notice...

    Want a laser pointer...help

    There's a permanent on/off switch available for certain pen models out there, it screws on the end in place of the battery cap. What you then do is use a rubber o-ring or something to keep the regualt momentary button pressed and just use the on/off button (on the battery cap end) to turn the...

    wickedlaser horror story1

    They are not fakes... I've personally compared a few of them to other models from elsewhere. I've not tested all their models of course, but those I had, seemed to be genuine. As for the RPL, it's actually not made by Lambda. I know that the company and another person who sells them goes to...

    wickedlaser horror story1

    It seems you've had some bad luck with the Spyder series. I'm not contesting that at all. However there's only a hand full of people that have had these that I can think of who have posted about them anywhere. Four units, yeah I can understand how you would be dissapointed. I've had poor...

    200mW green keychain buddy

    100mW is more then enough to damage it, keep in mind that a collimated 100mW beam which is green will have a dramtic effect on dark objects. Sunlight is not collimated nor focused to such an energy density (normally). If you took a lens and focused sunlight onto your LCD screen, then you would...

    Laser Glow Aries 125

    The lasers at techlasers are not fakes, I've taken extensive time to do some research into it. In some cases they are cheaper, though I don't know if this is the case with every model. Most of the time lasers do get past customs, some places list a value of 0-5 dollars and call the laser a...

    Spyder II GX (green) Question

    They are usually at least at the rated spec, as mentioned in another topic on this forum, there are always cases of issues with any DPSS laser that can occur, this is with any company. Please consider that some information is not always factual but exagerated, especially at forum mentioned in...

    wickedlaser horror story1

    Sorry to hear about what happened. If Wicked said they will resolve the problem I've found that they tend to do so, in my experience anyway. To say all their lasers are underpowered is a bit inaccurate, I've tested many that met specs or exceeded them. I also have an engineering background...

    Spyder II GX (green) Question

    The beam, even on mullti-watt lasers will not be visible in full daylight, during an overcast day, you may be able to see the beam somewhat, but it depends on how overcast it is. You will however easily see the point of impact dot. even in daylight. No matter what power of laser, all of them...

    Leadlight 105/110 Modification Stages1,2

    In some cases it takes about 2.6V or so for the pump diode to lase properly. In the case of NiMH, the 2.4V is sometimes not enough, or if it is, there is sometimes a noticable difference in output. You should find that Lithium (Energizer e2's) will work just as well as Alkalines and will last...
