Hello from NY

[Squab27]

Hi guys, I stumbled upon this site while looking at information on 1W Blue lasers. I was someone who was going to buy the Spyder Arctic III but then was saved by this fourm.
I look forward to learning more and more about lasers and the community and hopefully adding a new hobby under my belt.

Best Regards,
Josh

Hi Josh,

Welcome to LPF!

The only impressive thing about Wicked lasers is their marketing. The lasers... well I'm glad you found this place before getting one.

What area of NY are you in? I'm about 20 minutes from NYC, in NJ. If you saw 4 laser beams on rapture night in Brooklyn area

I am out close to Niagara Falls in Western New York, so thats a bit of a distance for a laser.
I should have made more clear in the first post that I am not a laser newbie, I just want to get into the DIY and home made models. I have previously owned a handfull of 5mw red and green lasers and a 35mw green laser.

Going from 35mW to 1W+ is quite a leap... glad to know you're not completely new to lasers, just make sure you keep your eyes safe.
