1) will be ~700 mW - Underspec
2) will be ~500 - 700mW - Underspec
3) will be ~150mW - Underspec

And all overpriced. Sorry you just wasted your money.

If you are ok with a very very bad quality underspec laser, that you will receive maybe in a couple months or never, than ya it will meet your expectations.:D

Hello Buddy,

1) The arctic I can say is Very good laser, (possitive Feedback)
2) The Krypton too is a good laser, but why you pay 900$? You can buy a Much better REAL 1W green laser from Jetlasers.
3) E3 sucks. Buy the E2, much better than E3.

Did you meter with an IR filter?

Ya it is about 13 mw of IR. Today I had a new peak of 937mw and stayed above 900mw for almost 2 minutes then stayed above 850mw for another 3 minutes then I turned it off. :) Im happy with it but I don't suggest it for maybe I got lucky the shipping for me was only 10 days from china!! If this site didn't have a bad history and they were a new laser site I would recommend them but there have been so many people with horrible experiences with WL that I still would say that your purchase was a bad idea.

I have a krypton and works great, virtually no IR, and overspec.
The arctic should be around 750 mw and maybe if your lucky it'll be 800 mw. So its a 1/4 underspec.. that's a lot in my opinion.
haven't read or heard anything from the e3 at least regarding LPM results, and IR test.
wicked gives you a week to return some of the items if your not happy with your purchase though.

Hoped this helped :).

33 Reasons NOT to Buy From Wicked Lasers


Jerry
Click to expand...

I was waiting for the "33 reasons why NOT to buy from WL" post to appear.

In reality, it's probably more like 333 reasons why not to buy from WL, but guess that would be a bit too long for most to read thru.

But if you don't mind spending twice as much for half as much, then you may be happy with that purchase.

I beleive my siganture below may apply, lol.
Wishing you the best.

I think the WL phnenominal success of the company is based on many considerations.

The marketing, the cool looks of the host, the recognition of the product internationally and that WL popularized high power handhelds from the get go.

The very long wait times seem to have worked in reverse for them --- when it has been such a grind to get the product that people tend to overvalue it because it can not be had easily.

Don't see many for sale here and everybody has one tucked away somewhere that they don't want to sell.

Very interesting success story when you think about it --- says something for having one less available than the market demands.

Good luck with your purchases-- hope you get good ones at high end of power spec.---be careful of eyes --wear goggles when using even with training lens.

You went from ordering nearly 2k worth of lasers to a single $500 laser that's 5 times less powerful than the most underspec krapton?
