After speaking with the Wicked Lasers tech support team regarding some pitfalls in our testing of their goggles, I was able to obtain from them their spec sheet for this product. If there is someone who is a professional in these standards that can read and explain this, I think that it would be...

Hello Everyone, I'm reposting this as I just read an entire thread where some members think that they have stronger, more resilient eyes than others and don't think that they need to wear protective goggles when viewing a 1W 445 in their bedroom. One member stated that he's taken many...

Received my Arctic G2 today (EMS to USPS, Saturday delivery). I also received the extra pair of goggles and the lens pen. My order number was in the early 48000's. Bill

Even without the exact technical specs, my hope was that an article from a well respected source would show all that are new to this hobby that eye safety is serious business. Now it's not just "a bunch of guys on a forum" preaching eye safety and the unusual pitfalls of 445nm light. Bill

This article was in Photonics Spectra two days ago. The Laser Institute of America weighs in on handheld 445nm lasers. It's really nothing new; but it confirms everything that we've been saying regarding 445nm safety; and it comes from a well respected entity (LIA). Please read it as you await...

Most small lasers fit into a zip lock sandwich baggie. You can put the laser (inside the baggie) in your pocket with no fear of dust contamination. Bill

Re: Arctic picture made 1 minute ago It looks like you are pointing at the top of a nuclear cooling tower. Bill

It's odd that you mention this as I also have an uncomfortable feeling in my eyes when I look at 750mW of 445. I'm only looking at the beam from the side and have had no reflection or direct exposure. I do not think that this is mind over matter. I do notice that my eyes are uncomfortable after...

Here are some pictures of mine.....It was built 50 years ago. All kidding aside, I just discovered the Iolite and it's very cool (and healthy). Bill

Maybe it's taking longer because you live in Australia. Has anyone from Australia received one yet? Bill

CVI Melles Griot is giving away a very cool, well made tee shirt to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the laser. All you have to do is provide a short story about how you interact with lasers. You actually type it right into the web form. You can look at all of the stories that were submitted on...

Just wait till the snake heads come......

Wear it to pick up girls......

This is the shirt that Sheldon Cooper from "The Big Bang Theory" would wear. (TV show, not the origin of the universe). Bill

Is anyone familiar with the equation on the shirt?
