I gotta get me one of these!

Spyder III Pro Arctic Laser by WickedLasers reportedly available for $200

Not only is this thing cool looking, it actually looks like a lightsabre.  Make anything look like a lightsaber, and you can be sure that we'll want to zoom in on it. WickedLasers are no strangers to coming up with laser pointers, but the Spyder III Pro Arctic Laser looks awesome, costs about $200, and is dangerous enough to blind, set fire to skin and other body parts.

  For the first time in history, direct blue laser diodes have now become available in the consumer market.  WickedLasers took direct blue laser diode components and made the world's first 445nm direct blue diode laser, the Arctic.  The $200 Spyder III Pro Arctic is reportedly the world's most powerful portable laser.

WickedLaser provides the following warning:

"Warning: Extremely dangerous is an understatement to the power of 1W of laser power. It will blind permanently and instantly and set fire quickly to skin and other body parts, use with extreme caution and only when using the included eye protection. Customers will be required to completely read and agree to our Class IV Laser Hazard Acknowledgment Form."

The Arctic emits a 445nm cool blue, ultra high power 1W beam which appears up to 4000% brighter than the Sonar's 405nm violet beam. This direct blue laser diode is the result of the evolution of laser technology. Less than one year ago, this laser would have cost thousands of dollars to build. WickedLasers cautions, "Don't let the Arctic name fool you, this laser possesses the most burning capabilities of any portable laser in existence. That's why it's also the most dangerous [hand held] laser ever created."


If,like me, you live in the People's Republic of Massachusetts, get your hands on one of these babies before the moonbats find a way to ban it.  As we say in New England, "It's wicked awesome!!"
