The majority of Wicked Lasers hosts are cast not premium machined. Only the first prototype is machined.
Dont delude yourself. :tsk:
I spoke with WL customer service & they said the Nano is machined? They are aircraft grade aluminum & depending on if it's 6061 or 7075 aluminum, 6061 is usually machined after its cast where 7075 is usually just machined.
I'll be honest, I really love everything about the Nano, the way it looks, size, the functions and the mW. Price is maybe a bit high, but whatever.
If you're into astronomy, know that a green laser can wreck your night vision. People use red lights for their star charts for a reason. Why don't you use a more powerful red laser instead? A red laser in the 635nm area would be much brighter than typical 650nm lasers, but still preserve your night vision.
I can't imagine a 15mW green laser wrecking night vision by just looking at the beam, sadly there's usually more light pollution or headlights to really ruin it.
But I wouldn't be opposed to a brighter red one. How many mW would you need in a 635nm to be good for astronomy? Who makes this spectrum of laser?
