We dumped our itty-bitty laser pointers some time ago. They had their time and sure it was fun to
pop a dot on your least fav peeps from a football field away, but the novelty just wore off too quick. These new Class
IIIB lasers from Wicked Lasers in China might not ever wear off, at least not if you get tagged with one. After
watching the videos of these bad boys in action, we urge you keep the proper end pointing away. If your government
allows you to own one, expect to buck up anywhere from $99 to $559 for his powerful package, depending on how much
damage you plan to inflict. Check out the feature set and decide if you're content to have a visible dot, cauterize
open cuts, melt plastic or have the ultimate legal (or illegal) laser.[via I4U]
TYPO!!!
"his powerful package" indeed.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY......
I...HAVE...TO...HAVE...ONE
got that?
now send me one!
I have one and it's the coolest toy I've ever owned. Popping baloons with this bad boy makes grown men say "oh my god" that's one hell of a pointer.
If you decide to buy one, I have a 5% DISCOUNT code you can use. Don't use buy it now, but add it to your cart and when you check out use code 3885.
WOOHOO THEY'RE SO AWESOME.
i have one. it's so "wicked."
seriously, it's amazing...
what kind of batteries does this thing take? nuclear? I find it hard to believe that they are able to put that much energy into such a small form factor..
Great! now all of the A&E departments in hospitals will be full of people with their eyeballs fried out
You'll shoot your eye out, kid.
I have the 85mW and I love it, popping ballons etc...
If you decide to buy one
Don't use buy it now, but add it to your cart and when you check out use Promo code: 3420
Then you will get 5% off all you buy.
Saw one on ebay a week or so ago and thought it was a gimmick or something.
Then some dude came along and bid over $300 for it and I was like... shiiitt!
Thankfully, this article confirms it's genuine.
Now, just need to find $300 lying around.
OK those videos are great!!! I need one now...
Why the hell is there a Motorola HS-850 bluetooth headset and an ipod nano in the background of the photo?
now I know where my tax money is going.
If you use Promo Code: 4061 not only will you get 5% off all you buy, but you'll be helping me a laser too :)
Hmmm...well that's cool and all but this product is quickly heading into weapon status. Amp these puppies up some and the homies in the movie theatre might be able to set fire to the movie screen. I can see the videos now of teens in a Honda Civic sneaking up and burning homeless guys.
I sense it won't take long for the the anti-gun crowd to jump all over regulating these devices, too. Then maybe you'll have to register your laser pointer :-)
??????
This will be perfect for my pet sharks. Now they can have "freakin' laser beams on their heads".
I work with class IIIb and IV lasers in a research lab and personally think it's a terrible idea for untrained people to own these devices. Note that in the US these lasers must be registered and can cause serious and permanent retina damage. If you accidentally put someones eye out with one of these expect to go to jail and see a pretty severe civil lawsuit as well. Point it into the sky without FAA permission and you could also see some jail time. Not worth it...
I work in a restaurant with really sharp knives and personally think it's a terrible idea for untrained people to own sharp knives at home.
If you accidentally put someone eye out with one, expect to go to jail - and you can't even take sharp knives on planes.
lol at last 2 comments. Look out for forks too, you can poke an eye out. Register your forks.
Question, arent these just standard Green Laser pointers that have been "hacked" or "power boosted". Doesnt this kill the lifespan of the crystal? I know the specs say they all have the same lifespan but I question that at such high powers.
Wow, tde! You made a comparison that made the other guy look like a poopoohead!! LOLZ!!!1
Only problem is, using that technique doesn't automaticly make you right. It just makes you sound as if you are right. In reality, you are still wrong.
You see, people don't go around waving sharp knives like idiots the same way that people do with laser pointers do. Many people will not bother to read the warnings, thinking that it's like a 5mW laser, and treat it as such. Current laser pointers already cause problems, but considering their power, they aren't that much of a big deal.
I own one of those 5mW green laser pointers, and it's fun to play with. But I would not bother with something that lists "can burn skin" as a feature. Yes these guys are obviously marketing them as toys.
These lasers are very cool and never get old to use for astronomy, physics or just to impress some friends! These lasers are not modified in any way and are manufactured to spec by wickedlasers.com

Hmmm, well since pointing one at an airplane is a felony in the US, what if you're using one of these lasers for astronomy at night and an airplane just happens to cross the path?
blah blah blah, i want to vaporize birds with it!!!
has anyone friend ants with it?!
