Link to the item being reviewed: Green Laser Pointer 1 Watt | S3 Krypton | Spyder III | Wicked Lasers
Well this thing is certainly a beast. It is the most high powered handheld green laser I have ever owned. I love the Spyder series from Wickedlasers. I wish They still offered all 3 of them. They definitely kept the best of the 3 though. I am very impressed with the power of this laser. Decided to write a review of my precious (voice of Gullum). On with the review.....
Order date: 12/18/11
Date received: 1/05/12
First impression: This is not my first Spyder or Krypton so I had a very good idea what to expect. My first impression of this laser though was "wow the low mode is REALLY low, I sure hope the high mode jumps in power significantly"
Power output: 750-850mW (power fluctuates between this range)
Mode: TEM00 (no mode hopping witnessed as of yet)
Output mode: CW low mode (30mW), Pulsed low mode, SOS low mode, Beacon low mode, CW high mode (800mW), Pulsed high mode, SOS high mode, Beacon high mode, Standby
Beam diameter: ~4mm (measured just a smidge under 4mm. Nearly twice spec)
Wavelength: 532nm
Divergence: 1.69mRad (measured)
IR Filter: Yes
Power input: 1 X 18650 battery
Safety features: Pin Key lock on tailcap, Smart switch code to turn on, red led indicator light (doubles as battery indicator), warning label, comes with 20% output cap.
Extras: Came with a nice little quality belt holster, battery, charger, safety glasses, different lens caps (this was during the Christmas sale that they offered all the extras for free)
Price: $899.95
Warranty: 1 Year
Burning power: Well it will light dark matches, pop balloons, melt black plastic like CD cases and do those typical tricks. Because the large beam diameter it is best to do burning tricks with the included "burning cap"
Overall: The laser is Beautiful and powerful. Even though it is listed as a "MAX OUTPUT 1W" I read the specs and knew not to expect that much. Plus I know what the word MAX means. It is much above the minimum guaranteed output so I am very happy! I bet if I give it a few more runs on the LaserBee I will find a reading of 900mW. I have only tested it a handful of time with a max reading of 850mW. Overall I am VERY pleased with my purchase!
On with the pics....
