Yea before I signed up I searched the forums. It's awesome almost bought a S3 Artic wicked laser then i found this forum. So I am trying to get one of the same power for cheaper.
Well you have a few options.
1.You could buy from the forum members some member are building laser just to sell. Look in the b/s/t section
2.You could buy from a website that is owned by forum members like Green Laser Pointer there are several others
3.You could buy from inexpensive sites like o-like.com
4.You could buy from top quality sites like Laserglow Technologies - Handheld Lasers, Alignment Lasers and Lab / OEM Lasers
5.You could participate in one of the group buys and get a decent laser cheaper than usual.
But please, 1000mw is a lot of power, purchase protective glasses when you buy your laser.
