Re: Spyder 3 Krypton - 1W of green power from WL

Can anyone with a Krypton tell me how visible the beam is?
Is it visible outside during the day?

yes, it might be visible if you get good Krypton.
Be sure you've read this before ordering from WL

Yeah, I'm aware WL aren't exactly trustworthy. That's why I bought my 1.1W 445nm here.

It's a great laser, it's even slightly visible during a very dark day but I'm still in search of a beam visible under a "regular" day

I'd really like to know how much more visible would the Krypton' beam be.

you will have more luck with jetlasers or CNI lasers

and jetlasers have an exact same copy of the arctic/krapton host including the "smart" switch and all

1.1 watts of 445 isnt visible on a very dark day (night???) wtf?

Very dark day: http://cdn.pelfusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/nyc.jpg
It's visible under those conditions but just barely.

At night it's very bright.

Thus far the only thing i have seen WL excel in is Photoshop, they sure know how to make a purdy photo to snatch up thousands of unsuspecting people

I heard they outsource their photoshop and site editing to the 12 year old with the 1w

Yup, and they pay the kid with undespec lasers

I have the Krypton and the beam is visible under the sunlight. If you look carefully, you can even see the beam in daylight too. I did the burning test, punch a hole in the CD case and it did it within 5 sec or less every time. It could be .5 sec faster than Arctic. I have both.

Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to know!

I'm quite sure that regular daylight is at a lower light level than
direct sunlight...:thinking:
It seems obvious that if you could see a beam in direct sunlight that
you could see the same beam in a lower ambient light environment.

@Atomicrox...
The visibility of a beam outside depends on the particles suspended
in the air (moisture...dust...pollen...etc).

First to buy one wins a cookie. First to receive one wins a second cookie. First to meter one wins massive disappointment.

Actually I'm not disappointed with my laser. It's very bright and is visible under sunlight. When I saw the beam during daylight, I was even more impressed. Just saying, even bad company, once in a while, do make one that is good.

Did you meter it? With an IR filter on it?

The IR leak would melt the filter :crackup:

I always thought beam visibility on "clear" air was more related to rayleigh scattering than suspended particles..

Do you know a better (and cheaper) source for high power green lasers? I bought my 1.1W 445nm here but I don't think members are selling DPSS ones yet.
