hello i was going to buy a 1W laser and i want to know witch is the best.

1.the wicked lasers arctic (Spyder 3 Arctic Blue Laser Pointer | Wicked Lasers) i know this website is trusted but its not focusable

2.the Big lasers BX3 1000mW ("BX3" 1000mW High Power Blue Laser Pointer - BigLasers.com) i love this one but it does not have a 24/7 duty cycle

3.the freeze from big lasers (""Freeze" 1,000mW (1W) Keyswitch Hand Held Blue Laser - BigLasers.com) this one i love but im not sure about the website.

and lastly 4. the BX5 from big lasers("BX5" High Power Blue Portable Hand Held Laser 1,000mW (1W) - BigLasers.com) this one is not focusable but i like its safty.

please give me your oppinion on each laser.:thanks:

None of the above! They are all junk!

HL 405,445,450nm Cheaper and way better or take a trip over to the B/S/T (buy sell trade) section here and buy a quality laser from a member here!

Yeah all of your choices are not worth the money or quality... the BST section of this Forum has the best deals, or you can look at CNI or LaserGlow if you have some money to spare :p otherwise, Laserbtb (as Livinloud linked) would be the way to go. If you're in between, try Jet Lasers. Good luck :beer:

Oh and btw... YOU BETTER HAVE SAFETY GOGGLES AND THIS BETTER NOT BE YOUR FIRST LASER

That's made by Laserbtb, which offers a good compromise between quality and price. I would choose that over any of the original four links any day.

The warm up time is the time "needed" for the laser to reach its stable operating power and temperature. It is not factored into the laser's duty cycle.

thats what i linked, i think you may mean the PL445. that is a larger host and takes a larger battery for longer run times and longer duty cycles. if you have the money then the PL445 is better than the HL445.
this is also a great option 1000mW PL-E Pro 445nm blue Laser

EDIT: for safety glasses please visit the yellow link in my signature and decide which glasses are best for you. the minimum i recommend is the eagle pair though

to tell you the truth im not sure. i want to say no, its fixed focus at infinity but not 100% sure. also please edit your previous posts so that you dont double post. thats frowned upon here

no batteries are normally shipped with any laser, plus its bad to ship batteries with a laser. this laser has no batteries with it. you dont need the AC adapter unless you want it. it runs perfectly fine on batteries but you can always get the AC adapter if you want to go that route
