Re: Spyder 3 Krypton - 1W of green power from WL

Yeah, I'm aware WL aren't exactly trustworthy. That's why I bought my 1.1W 445nm here.

It's a great laser, it's even slightly visible during a very dark day but I'm still in search of a beam visible under a "regular" day :)

I'd really like to know how much more visible would the Krypton' beam be.

Re: Spyder 3 Krypton - 1W of green power from WL

you will have more luck with jetlasers or CNI lasers

and jetlasers have an exact same copy of the arctic/krapton host including the "smart" switch and all

Thus far the only thing i have seen WL excel in is Photoshop, they sure know how to make a purdy photo to snatch up thousands of unsuspecting people

I heard they outsource their photoshop and site editing to the 12 year old with the 1w

Can anyone with a Krypton tell me how visible the beam is?
Is it visible outside during the day?

I have the Krypton and the beam is visible under the sunlight. If you look carefully, you can even see the beam in daylight too. I did the burning test, punch a hole in the CD case and it did it within 5 sec or less every time. It could be .5 sec faster than Arctic. I have both.

Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to know!

I'm quite sure that regular daylight is at a lower light level than
direct sunlight...:thinking:
It seems obvious that if you could see a beam in direct sunlight that
you could see the same beam in a lower ambient light environment.

@Atomicrox...
The visibility of a beam outside depends on the particles suspended
in the air (moisture...dust...pollen...etc).

Actually I'm not disappointed with my laser. It's very bright and is visible under sunlight. When I saw the beam during daylight, I was even more impressed. Just saying, even bad company, once in a while, do make one that is good.

Did you meter it? With an IR filter on it?

I always thought beam visibility on "clear" air was more related to rayleigh scattering than suspended particles..

Do you know a better (and cheaper) source for high power green lasers? I bought my 1.1W 445nm here but I don't think members are selling DPSS ones yet.
