I thought I would post about this guy since I haven't seen a thread before, and I was inspired by reading some old KipKay threads lol. Some of you guys may have heard of this channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLF0JxAv-ELW_4AXifVRBTw Basically, this guy either reviews either eBay lasers or wicked lasers(I know UGH!), or makes GTA5 videos. When I first became a hobbyist, I was obsessed with finding good lasers on eBay, and i even suggested a laser for review, but as I got more experienced, I slowly begin to notice serious issues with his videos. Some notable examples are failing to mention IR output, linking people to cheap goggles(even the tREX googles), and many other things that show severe lack of knowledge. He makes it very easy for people to purchase all of the lasers he reviews, and has some influence. I may be over reacting, but I am kind of curious what you guys think about channels like these.

I've seen some his videos and generally think they are produced pretty well and like how they are structured. I do agree however that some safety aspects are not completely accurate. :eek:

This guy with 3 million+ subs just burned loads of things with a "3.5mw" Arctic while wearing blue safety glasses:eek: How dumb can people get!:banghead:
Good lord, does he even know the damage he could do? Did you see?!! He doesn't even know which laser he is turning on and he says, we need safety and pulls out blue glasses.....Lordy lordy

Thank goodness it only got ~300k views, out of his 3M subs.

He said "If my glasses weren't on this would look so insanely bright." YOU BONE HEADED MORON YOU'RE GLASSES ARE CRAPOGGLES.

His channel is OKish. He seems to be at least somewhat safety conscious and mentions the risk to your eyes, and the risk of just pointing lasers around carelessly outside. He does seem unaware of the IR danger of the cheap 532nm lasers, but otherwise he seems pretty safe compared to other youtubers.

I will say that his review for the new Tesla lighters got me to buy two of them and that they both failed within a week ;(

I'm pretty familiar with flying in general.. even took
a few preliminary flight courses.
But... I would not show someone how to fly since
I'm no expert with no real life flying experience.
I could spout off some of the regulations that go
with flying... but I'm still not qualified as a pilot.

Perhaps that guy is good in other fields but regarding
Lasers and Laser Safety he is clueless.... (ie. Blue
Safety Glasses with a Blue Laser)...:eek:
He might as well put on reading glasses..

Lmao what an idiot. Wearing blue safety glasses while pointing a blue laser at a reflective phone. At least he mentions not to point lasers at airplanes.

To add fuel to the fire :eg: has anyone seen this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL6fn6OGXUY This guy (Jay Peoples aka Warrior tactical Lasers) points a 50 watt diode bank directly at his Wife/Girlfriend. In the comments, someone said this video upset the community, but I have been unable to dig anything up. Anyone know more about this?

Thanks, Connor

God I hate when people post videos of the WL arctic and say it's the most powerful :mad:
Every time I mention I'm a laser enthusiast, people always say "hey have you heard of wickedLasers"!! I wanna slap them. You can make one twice as powerful for half the cost lol

I know it was pointless but I left him a pretty nasty comment. Which may have been dumb on my part but i felt I had to
