[nero_design]

Okay... this just in...

Wicked Lasers just launched their own new handheld 'Spyder' series lasers a few minutes ago which compliments their existing strain of lasers. Specs are good and the output is incredibly high - and they're WATERPROOF! (not just water resistant) with a 100% duty cycle. Their Blue lasers are 20mW, 30mW and 40mW. Their new greens are 200mW - 300mW with a peak of 450mW.

Laserbokkie, what do you mean by that? Is WL not the manufacturer of these lasers as they've claimed to be?

These Spyder lasers look cool but what's their legal status here in the US as opposed to their other lasers?

I think they get them from CNI lasers. I think they are legal indoors. 5mw and under is legal outdoors.:touche:

According to wicked, these lasers are manufactured by them not CNI. This was revealed by Wicked on their forums.

I wonder is it all manufactured by them, like the diode, casing, buttons, etc.

The letter of the law states to paraphrase any laser device which does not meet FDA approval is illegal to import or sell in this country no if's, ands or buts. They are not illegal to own though. Read the sticky thread.

 

[Athoul]

They use sony diodes, so they don't manufacture all the parts but probably assemble the unit.

 

[nc987]

id have to finance those lasers. Itll be a cold day in hell before I pay that much for a laser pointer.

Umm, ya mean the forums that they censor?

 

[lasercrazy]

They are indeed nice, but like most of the WL lasers they are illegal to import into the US. I'd rather spend the extra and get an appoved and legal laser.

 

[deezdrama05]

awesome!!! but you would have to lon off the title for your car to afford one.

 

[imbolc]

Looks good, but the "water proofing technology", shock resistance, "passive thermal cooling technology" sounds suspect. Need to get a review from CPF on this before buying.

 

[RadarGreg]

You know, they look almost exactly like the Astro Aimer from HotechUSA. I suspect someone is doing the build for them.:ironic:

ummm blue laser or 5 months rent, blue laser or 5 months rent.. lmao
