Everyone is looking to buy a laser but we do not know which companies are good and which ones are bad. I have heard many bad things about wicked lasers, as i have spent the whole night doing research, and the cons outweigh the benefits.
From my research so far i am leaning towards laserglow.com, jetlaser,
optotronics or, from what i read, you can do Group Buys straight from the producer CNI.
Also I have considered dragons lasers but i heard they come "under spec" and laserglow, for example, guarantees its output power and even goes above...
Now it depends what I'm looking for right? Ok i heard if you want burning lasers blue or red but if you want brightness and distance then its green? Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm looking for a laser that can reach a far distance possibly into space so i can mess around with UFO's... Just kidding do not play with lasers but ya i want a laser that is strong like that but also reliable in terms of its longevity and battery life. I also wanted to mention i almost got suckered into the layout of wicked lasers and how they say they have the world record for the strongest lasers to reach into space but all i hear is complaints, :banned: rumors of under spec lasers and bad service. so can someone clear that up?
I was looking at Optotronics which i heard good stuff about but then i found this, "Duty cycle 5 minutes on w/ 2 minutes cooling time (72% for 7 minute cycle)." so this got me concerned because it seems like you can easily damage the laser if you leave it on for too long. The good thing about it, it has rechargeable batteries but no point in recharging if you fried your laser.
so getting more specific i have narrowed it down to Hercules Series which has 100% Duty Cycle which i assume means its safe to leave on for longer periods of times? at on the laserglow website it says "Exceeding 750 mW sustained output, the Hercules currently holds the world record as the most powerful green handheld laser." so obviously not every company can claim the title of the most powerful green laser but i encourage everyone to do your own research and i am writing this also hoping to be corrected and hear better suggestions. I don't want to exceed $1000... especially on something that will fry or have weird battery problems.
