Do these come with an IR filter?

Yeah probably, but you don't want to buy from there.

 

[Vedant002]

why? and are you sure they do not have filters?

 

[thesk8nmidget]

he just said he thinks they do have the filters.

but wicked lasers is not the company you want to be buying from! you should go with a more reputable company

What laser do you say you bought?
The reason most people here would recommend staying away from wicked is because they have a reputation of selling defective lasers and ripping people off. Besides, even if their products were working, they are still way overpriced. Wicked sells a 55mW laser for $199. NOVAlasers sells a 100mW laser for ten dollars more ($209).

i bought the same model, elite, and stuff but not from wicked.

Oh... Because you said 20mW and then Elite...
I should have realized... It is typical for a Wicked Laser Elite to output 20mW. ;D

 

[Vedant002]

i can still shut off streetlights with a 20mw right?

 

[Vedant002]

[Vedant002]

ye but i only bought it for a total of $70 so it was worth it after all it was only 20mw.

 

[RA_pierce]

Oh not too bad. Then. The body does look nice.
Yes. 20mW will be able to shut off streetlights. I've done it with 5mW red.

 

[Vedant002]

cool, apparently i checked the ir, and it is leaking, so i just bought an ir filter for it, how to i put it in, and where?

 

[RA_pierce]

You would have to open the aperture cap. If you can't do it without scratching the laser don't bother. IR leakage isn't very dangerous at all.

 

[Vedant002]

then why do people make such a big deal out of it, and is there an instruction manual, because i dont want my $15 going to waste
