That's pretty nice.

What a coincidence.:rolleyes:

I've lit candles with mine, it usually takes around 3-15 seconds.

Thanks to the 445nm's, I think there are enough blues for a separate "Blue Lasers" board. Plus it completes the primary colors.:cool:

I didn't even notice that the tailcap was on in the first two pictures.

My Arctic can light plain white paper on fire fairly quickly. It's quite possible for 100mW of 405nm to burn through white paper. White paper absorbs 405nm light much differently than it absorbs light at higher wavelengths. My 100mW 405nm also burns holes in white paper, it's far from being able...

I keep it steadily focused on one spot, right below the tip of the wick. Eventually, there is an audible "pop" and the wick ignites.

Don't know, I have no LPM.

I just focus the Arctic's beam and aim it slightly below the tip of the wick. Takes anywhere between 3 and 20 seconds to light. It's worked on every candle I've tried it on (4 so far). I'd suggest slowly adjusting the distance until the reflected color is orange instead of blue.

I believe they're just going by the current the driver is delivering. Perhaps since it's not as inefficient as a DPSS, they feel it's an accurate estimate.

My Arctic is 37.5mm at 60 feet, so that works out to ~1.959mRad.

I never received any tracking information. Oddly enough, that seems to be exactly what's just happened to some. From this thread in Wicked's forum: ARCTIC LASER SEIZED BY U.S. CUSTOMS! GOT PACKAGE, NO LASER

I'm using some 2600mAh Sanyo's. They're exactly the same size as the included battery.

You can pretty much estimate it based on the color of the re-emitted light. The light I was thinking of was yellow or orange light (around 580nm-620nm); which seems to be rather common for fluorescence.

I don't think people are aware of the fluorescence hazard. Even if they have OD6 445nm goggles, if a powerful 445nm hits something and fluoresces to ~590nm the goggle's protection will be nearly non-existent.

I got my G2 yesterday and saw the training lens was epoxied in as well. So I just hammered a nail through it, and put a focusing lens on the front of the lens cap. Somewhat of a crude process, but it fits quite well, and looks/functions fine. I decided to light a candle and burn some white...

I'm confused, but PM sent.

Just got mine as well. However, the batteries I got for it are in China.

I purchased some 2600mAh Sanyo 18650 cells, which are 65mm tall. Seems I could've waited since according to their WickedLaser's FaceBook page, they've yet to start shipping G2's: "We are currently working on improving our customer service. We have hired qualified personnel to help speed up...

I think that means the package is at customs, it may be there for a while.
