Reliability of Wicked Laser Spyder (Krypton) series?

[edslittleworld]

Has anyone heard of any reliability issues with the Spyder series lasers...specifically the more complex 532nm Kryptons? I've owned mine for almost six months and have had no issues, but the output will vary quite a bit during warmup.

Supposedly, they all have a 100% duty cycle. Is that really possible?

I have been able to run my 850mW, 987mW, 1003mW, 1036mW, 1100mW and 1148mW 532nm Krypton lasers until the batteries were fully discharged. So yes they are 100% duty cycle. Some of them do vary by over 100mW until they settle in after 3 or 4 minutes.
I do not use the host in direct sunlight if the air temperature is over 95° F as they are passively cooled.
My Krypton lasers under 800mW seem to only vary by about 40mW.
