Rep Power: 163    |  Wicked lasers evolution pro 2010 130mW. Extensive and unbiased review
I've been recently asked to review this laser by Wicked Lasers. Yes, I've got this laser for free, BUT, this doesn't mean this is in anyway biased. This is the spec chart on their site: Quote:
 The laser was shipped using UPS Express packet. It's the fastest package I've ever got. I don't know why they told me it would get here in a week since it took only 2 days for it to arrive. Proof of it is the UPS tracking record: Quote:
Here's the video: I've not been able to take a picture of the power graph because the line is very dim, but it shows the laser peaks at 146mW and then stays at 129.2mW. Here's a picture of the poster that came with it:  And one of the laser itself:  Here's one of the beam. Notice the small desviation from the body.  Taking out the protective glass and showing the AR coating. The red surface iis the coating reflecting the light on a lamp.  The laser head without the protective glass:  And inside the barrel:  Disassembling the safety pin mechanism:  Beam comparison with 2 common portable green lasers:  And a size comparison too:  Dot comparison after red goggles. Up->Rayfoss Down->Evolution Pro  End of media. I'll be honest. I like this laser. After all what has been said about Wicked Lasers it's clear that something has changed on their products. Now they are not only cool but on spec lasers. Some have received over spec units, but this is not my case. I tested this laser on my university meter and the result just seconds what the power graph that came with it said. It peaks at 150mW and then stays at 130mW. The beam divergence on this unit is 1.3 mRad. However I'm not using specific equipment, so maybe it's really under 1.2 mRad as advertised. I also like the fact that it's using AA batteries instead AAA, they last longer and are cheaper. Beware because there are no instructions on how to insert the batteries but I knew it by looking at the other reviews. I like the design. The metal black housing gives a sturdy look to it although it's very light. The clip is solid, the led is not annoying and the pin is almost invisible. A part from the laser, the box is nice too, and I have to say I'm really glad they are giving that free poster. The sticker do also include a message saying "DO NOT POINT YOUR LASER AT AN AIRCRAFT", so it's nice to see they care about laser safety. At this point, there is only one but a big one problem. There's a total lack of effective safety measures on this laser. I really don't like the pin and LED idea, so for me it's OK to use an "invisible" pin and a dim led just to pass the FDA requirements, but I miss a switch, a key, a shutter... You could take the pin in and out, but considering how small it is, I'm afraid of loosing it. To make things worse, the power button is small and VERY sensitive. It's very easy to press it accidentally. For this reasons I've ended up taking the batteries in and out every time. When I was making the video I was moving it around my hand and suddenly the button was pressed and the laser went directly to my right eye. Of course, I was wearing my safety goggles, so nothing happened, but I'm worried about others not doing the same. To summarize: PROS ·Good looking. ·Sturdy touch. ·Solid grip. ·Stable and on spec power. ·Fast shipping. ·Safety poster and sticker. ·Nice box. ·Uses AA batteries. ·Comes with power graph. ·IR filtered CONS ·Expensive ·No way to lock it. ·Very sensitive button ·No instructions. ·Cannot be carried in a pocket properly. ·Beam doesn't come straight. ·No safety goggles included
