damn, i wish i can afford one of this higher end lasers.

some dude on ebay was selling a "freak" series rated at 425mw.

spectre440 · Nov 16, 2006, 06:44 PM

500 dollars?
for a freakin' laser pointer?!

you gotta be kidding me...

ktr · Nov 16, 2006, 06:47 PM

but this one can do damage...aka lightsaber

bruins004 · Nov 16, 2006, 06:52 PM

woo! fusion signed up on tpu!

lol.. Hows it going?

this is a slightly stronger version than the 110mw I got. If you look on ebay, you can get a laser cheaper than $500, and www.dragonlasers.com sells a 125mw for $369 i believe..

if you get one, you'll see why theyre so expensive. They're not just laser pointers either.. Really high quality lasers.. Meant to be used for dj equipment, experiments, stuff like that.. more fun to carry around and burn shit though. :-)

ktr · Nov 16, 2006, 08:05 PM

what about these lasers???

http://www.laserglow.com/index.html

W2hCYK · Nov 16, 2006, 08:44 PM

laserglows are also nice, but bulky. If you want a pen style one, get a dragonlaser or wicked lasers. Otherwise, the laserglow will be good enough.

Helios · Nov 17, 2006, 12:43 AM

How long is the coherence length and what kind of semiconductor material is employed to excite the laser beam?

POGE · Nov 17, 2006, 01:33 AM

Where I'm from, wearing those glasses would get you picked on more than wearing lab goggles.

W2hCYK · Nov 17, 2006, 02:42 AM

you dont need to wear then all the time when using the laser, only with close range stuff, if theyre reflective. <2ft = necessary imo.

bcurko · Nov 26, 2006, 08:04 AM

i live in australia sydney nsw where can i get one of these lasers the burning ones to be precise. God science is great i love lasers never had one thats powerfull enough to burn!

Bongbuster · Dec 12, 2006, 03:09 PM

There have been a few changes in the laser pointer market recently.

Not only can you buy the 125mW of wickedlasers, you can also buy it at www.dragonlasers.com

The price from dragonlasers is $329 vs $499 from wicked

For details on Dragonlasers you can go to this thread

http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/...d.php?t=138555

a good forum for lights, torches, lasers etc.

Wicked is a well known brand with a reputation for service but i'm low on cash so if i hear more good things about dragonlasers, i might break the piggy bank and buy one of their 125mW laser pointers.

Haha after that the neighbours dog (horrible little mutt), marauding cockroaches and girl scouts beware

Bongbuster · Jan 10, 2007, 07:01 AM

In the spirit of Christmas, i was extremely generous (no Scrooge here) and bought myself an expensive gift. A 125mW laser pointer from www.dragonlasers.com Kind of hard to justify spending that much money (even the cheapest sellers are expensive

) but i proved upto the task.

Will write something about it later and maybe take some photos when i'm not so busy or lazy.

DanTheBanjoman · Jan 10, 2007, 07:11 AM

Forgive me if I'm asking a stupid question, but what is the use of a $500 laser pointer? How is it value for your money? $500 to toast some insects sounds a bit expensive.

hat · Jan 10, 2007, 07:18 PM

Magnifying glass- 10$

Com'on,,,

,you are a tech-head!!What's not to like about a real laser?
I want one for my B-day

I can think of about 100 cool things I would do with one

BTW,I love the Netherlands.Been lucky enough to have been there a few times in the past few years,..cool sites and cooler people.

The $500 obviously

Sounds a bit much for a gadget like that, unless there is a real use for it obviously.

You wan't videos? Hahaha go to http://www.dragonlasers.com/testimonials. I love the video where the balloon panics and runs away (that one is not mine)

As for $500, relax. I only spent $329 on mine. Set back my PS3 buy so my old PC games will have to last for a while longer.

If anybody here is interested in these lasers the following link: http://www.wickedlasers.com/index.php?refer=8124 saves you 5% if you order using that page

Not much, but it's something...especially when they're so expensive.

I have some videos of lasers on these sites...

Sheeepy, how much do you make in wicked bucks for every person who buys a 125mW using your code?
