I don't actually have anything against WL other than the fact that their lasers are all WAY overpriced and they need to actually test them like nova/laserglow/opto do. I can understand QC issues with dealextreme and kaidomain lasers because they can't afford to/don't have the proper test equipment to make sure their lasers are up to spec. Something is just wrong when wicked sells a fusion for much more than an x-125 and they don't test its actual output before sending it out.MB500 said:
Yea, I like my Wicked Lasers, they are great. But I have heard stories, even on LC, of their bad lasers. The good thing is you can return it until you get a good one. They usually upgrade you too.
The Spyder III will be really cool though. Such a compact, 400mW+, cooled 532. Now they need a higher powered 473nm blue.

What about their crap advertising? :

The Spyder II is definitley not the most high power laser in the world, for example Optotronics send out units with almost 500mw:s of power. WL just tricks Guinness World Records. The only thing that WL is good at is advertising. [/quote]
I think technically the RPL series etc. are portable lasers. But the DL Herc should be threre too.

Laserglow makes the Herc, not DL. And Laserglow did in fact get the world record for their Hercules.

The III is going to have a smexy case, that's for sure Not so much performance... eh...
Here's hoping they'll sell the case individually like they do with the Sonar.

if that's the case, the spyder II price should go down significantly (but i doubt it)
