The Spyder Arctic 1W Blue Laser from Wicked Lasers -- styropyro's review

[TheVividly]

how long did it take for it to get to you. i ordered mine cant wait 2 get it ps: love your vids

[ILOVEGALLIUM91023]

@TheVividly depends where you are i was in US east cost and got mine in about 13 days =)

[hoblywobly]

i'm just wondering... isn't the Spartan the most powerful handheld? i think it can do 2 watts

[GPNYishai]

@hoblywobly Well first of all, the spyder isn't the most powerful hand held laser regardless. WL likes to think it is, though... You can search Google for the Spartan. It clearly is a 1w laser. There are many homemade handheld lasers out there pushing 3W, but you can commercially buy some 2W IR lasers at Lazerer.com (which average over 1000mw more than this)

[braddlphns]

why doesnt his arctic have a rectangular beam?

[TekhnoBro]

What kinda camera does he use?

[BUBASNICKERS]

@TekhnoBro cannon sx230 powershot PS. i love your channel awesome videos for styropyro an TekknoBro!

[TekhnoBro]

@BUBASNICKERS Thanks! Also thanks a lot for subscribing to my YouTube channel, I am having a 200mw green laser giveaway you should check it out!

[hamza45001]

Do They Sell it in You U.A.E ? And I Love the Spyder 3 Arctic SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH

Can You Give One away?

[rajeevpandrangi]

Where do you get this laser I couldnt find it on eBay or amazon

[laserfan17]

Thumbs up if you want s3 Krypton review

[hamza45001]

@laserfan17 Your Absolutely You Are Right 

[ILOVEGALLIUM91023]

So is it worth it ? =P

[DCshoesUSA99]

LIGHTSABER!!!!!!!!!

[ReptigloRand]

Dear Styroyro (if I spelled that right) I was wondering how long did it take to ship this item? Please answer as soon as possible. Ps I live in the US

[neveragain01]

I'm going to try out the Lazerer rifle v2. The host is pretty much the same same the arctic only smaller. And unlike the arctic I get a guaranteed over spec of a minimum of 1.2 watts. It's a shame the arctic is crap. And god forbid yours is defective because good luck getting in touch with the company.

[najsbajsmedmajs]

Why didn't the makers fit it with a focusing lens? that's just retarded XD :P

[opeAFromRSBot]

What is nm standing for?

[aeaeeeaa]

@opeAFromRSBot nanometer i think so. LOL! :P

[RobloxTitanicMovie]

@opeAFromRSBot Nanometer

[opeAFromRSBot]

@RobloxTitanicMovie How much is that in meter?

[SalveCrossbones]

@opeAFromRSBot

1 nanometer = 1.0 × 10-9 meters

[Silverdew125]

and i bet u still had the training lense on lol

[JoeMan352]

is the beam visible day and night?

[ManiacTwists]

@JoeMan352 Yes very.

[usmchugheskl]

False advertisement, they say 1000mw arctic but only puts out 700-800 if your lucky, even there own customer service guy will tell you that, why pay $300 for something your not getting what its says when you can pay $240 for the spartan 1w and it's true to is power, even a little over 1000mw, u decide, arctic just looks cooler but very Shitty company, read there reviews before u get scammed

[SigBi0]

Where do you buy these kinds.of laser I want to know

[ferencproject]

@SigBi0

wickedlasers (dot) com

or he does build them on his own.

you can also buy a laser from dealextreme (dot) com or yourlasers (dot) com

[ferencproject]

Styro, is it true that the goggles that come with this laser are absolute crap? Because some people say it.

[BurninglasersFun]

@ferencproject ony crap for the krypton

[BurninglasersFun]

but the krypton 300mw

[KeXo2]

may the force be with you

[MrArmo1387]

y dont u get the spartan 1w plz tell me



[digimon030303]

actually five modes the last one i hibernation mode

[RobloxTitanicMovie]

@digimon030303 actually 9 modes

[ILOVEGALLIUM91023]

hey styropyro i have been wanting to get a laser for a while and have enough funds to let me do so... i found two websites that sell lasers dragonlasers and you know wicked lasers... if you could tell me which company has better quality i have heard alot of bad things a bout wicked lasers but not that many about dragonlasers the shipping to me doesn't matter that much just mainly quality and price. if you could reply that would be great thanks. hope you get better =P

[MrArmo1387]

@ILOVEGALLIUM91023 hey man if u want a laser that looks kool and like a lightsaber get the arctic if u wnt a laser that burn insanely with a power over a lil over 1w get the saprtan from dragonlasers i wnt styro to get the sprtan so he cn do a review and comparion between the two hopefully he does THUMBS UPP FOR STYRO TO GET SPARTAN!!!!!!!!!!!

[ThePieMan159]

holy fuck! 300 bucks...!

[ILOVEGALLIUM91023]

i am new to lasers so does a higher mw make the laser brighter in the case of the krypton with 3 power options of 300mw 500mw and 1w?

[C00lman555]

@ILOVEGALLIUM91023 Yes, though I would highly suggest not going with wickedlasers. They're mostly regarded as a scam to the laser community. Just google 33 reasons not to buy from wicked lasers, click the first link, and you'll find why.

[TheLEGEND940]

Looks like a lite saber 😜

[lostorb12]

DUDE i keep watching these laser video and its only now that you tell me i should be wearing protective glasses!! shit!

[ILOVEGALLIUM91023]

would be*



[ILOVEGALLIUM91023]

are you going to do one the the sypder 3 krypton? that was be AMAZING

[Qtips66]

good videos

[ShnitzlHaus]

sooooo, what are lasers used for? realistically

[C00lman555]

@ShnitzlHaus cutting metal, stargazing, stuff like that XD

[MrAcuriteOf1337]

worlds most powerful portable laser?

challenge fucking accepted

[Pyrocondriac13]

I used to have high powered lasers...but then i took an arrow to the knee.

[ruylo7]

i want one so i can burn holes through paper :D

[malow87]

You know, on the question if it could handle the CD case, all the holes in it were a slight give-away^^

[MultiLaserguy]

i never get tired of this video xD



[Cobras7111]

Wow. I want 1

[rdezoveelste]

why would i wear goggles? when i aim in my eyes, with or without goggles, it will damage it anyways right?

[Themandudebro227]

@rdezoveelste dude, don't be dumb. if you looked at the DOT, not even need to point at your eye to blind you, you need googles, unless you hate your eyes,

[stu177120]

Wow wl advertises it at 1 watt not 750mw rip off

[JozzzeDJ]

@stu177120 it PEAKs at 1w =)

[TeddyBear1111998]

So much power loss for a 300$ laser?

[kenlaboss]

lightsaber! 

[Goldbrand47]

The new krypton is waaaaaay more powerful than the arctic spyder 3.

[XxStoneKillerxX]

@Goldbrand47 they are both the same in power wise.

[PowerfulNe0]

I was about to say "cool saber".

[cookieking1996]

@styropyro What is the point in having this?

[Jacquesthejoc]

i burnt though the safety warning before i could read it. o well!

[growapair100]

The only point in buying these lasers is to annoy people. Why else buy one?

[vaporiser99]

have you burnt you vocal cords with that laser

[BurninglasersFun]

when i saw this vid i was thinking why do u had not charge the lasr so it was in high power 1000mw and not 750mw

[sonicburst12]

I have a question is it only if it goes In your eye it's dangerous or is it if u see the beam u have eye trouble or both.

[Themandudebro227]

@sonicburst12 both, if you don't were goggles, you will go blind!

[DJWildy]

Can some one help me out here,

I know that the Spyder III Arctic is extremely hazardous if the dot is shone straight into the eyes directly or if the dot say reflected of a shiny surface and again hit you in the eyes if you didn't wear the goggles provided, that part I understand.

What I want to know is, do you need to wear the goggles that come with this laser IF you have the laser pointing away from you and you are only looking at the blue beam itself coming out of the lens?

Thanks.

[justiceanne]

@DJWildy if you're outside and careful, you won't need goggles.

Have fun and good luck!

[Themandudebro227]

@DJWildy oh, well please don't listen to the person who just responded to you, you need goggles at all times, or else you will go blind, only time you can not were them is if you are pointing in the sky and never showing the dot on anything

[justiceanne]

@Themandudebro227 hey.... if you're outside pointing at trees far away, im sure its safe.

[Themandudebro227]

@justiceanne i guess, hey who cares! it lasers, you can just have fun!

[justiceanne]

@Themandudebro227 yep :D

[DJWildy]

@Themandudebro227 Aye, the reason I ask is because it would be a bit silly to buy a blue coloured laser, and then wearing the goggles takes the colour of the laser away.

[Themandudebro227]

@DJWildy very true...

[OZPerpetue]

@DJWildy The beam wont hurt you, because it's not focused at you, but any reflection will, because even if it is not coming directly from the diode, it still is focused at you.

Don't use it without safety googles even outside, because even if you are point it at the sky, an airplane could reflect the beam (it has happened, and it is illegal to point it at any flying object) and harm you.

[justiceanne]

@OZPerpetue lmao, sure you can use the laser outside without goggles, just be really careful and dont point it close to you or on any shiny material. And remember to watch out for planes... you can accidently drop the plane/helicopter by pointing at it.

But airplane reflects the beam back to you?! :DD:D:D thanks for laughs!

[OZPerpetue]

@justiceanne I'm glad you had a laugh :)

Just keep in mind that what I wrote is true, and remember, not all airplanes fly very high, there are private planes who fly pretty low and are bare metal (I mean no paint) and easily reflect 1w lasers, it has happened to me.

And lasers are not toys, you should always use glasses, outside or inside, accidents can happen, I used to work with lasers and saw some terrible accidents, fortunately nothing happened to me.

[justiceanne]

@OZPerpetue i know, safety first.

but how about if you wanna go to point some stars?

[OZPerpetue]

@justiceanne Well I guess you could be very careful and take your chances, I mean it can happen, but chances are it won't, I know I wouldn't do it because of what I have seen. Probably on a secluded place, where there are no airports nearby (the country perhaps), that would be safer and you would be able to appreciate the stars much better because there wouldn't be light pollution.

[justiceanne]

google "33 Reasons not to buy from Wicked Lasers"

[vaporiser99]

thats a laser you dont have to potmod

[tycooncashflow4u]

i step closer to a real light-saber XD

[democrat1515]

Is wicked lasers just an online store?

[MelkorHimself]

The biggest problem with the Arctic Spyder 3 is that it doesn't output 1W of power as advertised. It typically yields 750-800mW. The only way I could get mine somewhat close to 1W was by spraying compressed air on the diode to freeze it temporarily.

[eldongb1]

@MelkorHimself Sue for false advertising! Maybe you can settle out of court and get free lasers. Then you can get like 30 of them all focused with prisms and mirrors and have a super duper laser beam of death. No lawn mower? No problem! (Laser comes on mounted to a toy train set and slides on the front lawn) Choo choo! Bzzzzt. The MowLaser... when you need mo' laser.

[MrMreggs]

how many lasers do you think you have ?

[iBr00talxd]

jUST iMAGINE when you unite this blu laser with a red alser

[MrThesaku]

cool so cool i hope i have one

[0TrollyMctrollerson0]

Faggot.

[cvbcbcmv]

@0TrollyMctrollerson0 no way, he's a bundle of sticks? I never knew that!

[TheMartijn45]

Wait. Why cant you point it at an aircraft. I means... oh.. CAN YOU BRING AIRCRAFTS DOWN WITH IT?!?!? Awesome!!! :DDD

[WolfieboyMachi]

You'll get eye damage even if you're not looking directly into the beam? How come?

[ChromeXk]

@WolfieboyMachi Because the output is so large, even when the beam reflects off a surface and loses most of its energy, its still strong enough to do damage to the sensitive eyes

[WolfieboyMachi]

@ChromeXk

I see.

Thanks for explaining. :)

[DJextrime]

Test Krypton Green Laser

[sliversol]

may i ask this if the arctic is a 1w laser where did the other 250mw go to?

as heat or ???

[Joewarr100]

Im sorry but no company should ever sell a product 1/4 less power than advertised they have to fix that problem to make the minimum output power on high at least 900 mw

[Kdj1996]

Where do u get one of those power tester things. Please tell me, I want to know some homemade laser's powers.

[cvbcbcmv]

@Kdj1996 J. Bauer electronics sells laserbees for cheap prices.

[drfizzle420]

lucky mother fucker how do u get the money to pay for all the lasers

[TheManWhoCreates]

@styropyro would the laser shown hurt your camera if you pointed the beam into the lens? Also how much did it cost for a thing like that?!

[styropyro]

@TheManWhoCreates Yes it would destroy a camera, I actually have a video were I purposely do this. It's called "Laser Shoots Out Camera" or something like that.

This laser costs $300.

[M4ST3RL1NKX88]

@styropyro

Sorry for being lazy, but do you have a video of the Dragon Lasers Spartan?

[hotdudeftw]

@styropyro where did you buy it from?

[TurbineCollector]

@styropyro em how come it says 299.99 or 999.99$?

[Themandudebro227]

@TurbineCollector Hello.

You must be confusing are Krypton with the Spider III,

The Krypton is a 300mW-1000mW green, and the Spider III is a 1W blue.

look for the blue virson, called the artic.

~Philip at WickedLasers

[vLiTHiuMx]

@styropyro Can you do an honest review of the spyder 3 Krypton from Wicked Lasers? I wanna hear your opinion before i give them my money.

[tcgb657]

@vLiTHiuMx its the same i have those two but they say you can see the kryptons light in space

[C00lman555]

@styropyro Did you ever see TechJunkie's post on what he thinks of WL? XD: laserpointerforums(.)com/f65/3­3-reasons-not-buy-wicked-laser­s-56289.html BTW, on a side note, your wire is awesome XD :P

[BriteRavenPictures57]

Styropyro, what brand of lasers do you recommend? Or do yor rather make your own?

[LivingLaser47]

Wicked Lasers is the best!

[j0ebo99]

Which is better the arctic or the spartan!!!

[mp3talon]

Spartan Series 1W Blue Handheld Laser

[princestory]

you did'nt give a question in this vid

[mcwario13]

on deal extreme 3 color laser thats 1W blue 30mW green 100mW red you people should check it out or atleast review it styro because i want to buy it

[mcwario13]

now the kryton exsists

[MrDilly1234]

how much did it cost ? and how long for shipping + nice vid by the way :)

[enfrasigbulle]

great vid!

[SpeedMjam]

Wow really a nice and fair review...

thank you for that!

Now I have a better view on this laser because I heard much bad stuff about it... :)

[sliversol]

is it just me or do i find the clicking nice..o.o

[PsycoHenny]

Low power (:

High power D,8

[JaiNobesIsARat]

Did you test the goggles? I've heard horror stories about them.

[Jhfgsjdcd]

Not getting the point here people he just " shows them

[BriteRavenPictures57]

Not quite the 1w that wicked laser claims

[serginietor]

@BriteRavenPictures57 agreed, it lost a quarter of its power.. thats way too much...

[BriteRavenPictures57]

@serginietor Yep :) O-0 laser fan ^_^

[serginietor]

@BriteRavenPictures57 yep, me too lol

[Something31337]

@BriteRavenPictures57 says on their site "Max power" wich means thats the maximum amount the diode is made for and can only run at its max output level for a short time , why do you think people "pot mod" lasers, its because the laser is set lower so you guys don't complain that it blew

[BriteRavenPictures57]

@Something31337 I know ^_^

[mvang01]

The future of lightsabers is almost here!!

[thejonathantom]

I think your 1w laser is beter than this one

[ableite]

If you read the manual you will become bored because it says that you cannot point anything. Where to point it then?

[PkwyDrive13]

Ya the arctic is over rated! Not even close to 1watt! Not a single 1 produced has been up to spec as advertised. I recommend dragonlasers. Com 1w spartan laser, peaks at around 1100mw! Over powered! An cheaper, but of course all you get is the laser but it's the power advertised, not 700mw

[pkrska]

0.78? That's not what you bought! It's suppose to show 1.0 or better on that meter. 

[PkwyDrive13]

Well the arctic spider 3 is only 750mw max, it's advertised as a 1w laser... The spartan is advertised as a 1w laser too an peaks at 1150mw! I have the spartan

[Knuskles]

Funny story. I ordered mine in june of last year and I got it in march the next year along with a 200mW green laser. BOTH free!

[wigglesyjiggles]

What's the point of having a laser this powerful?

[PkwyDrive13]

@styropyro what about dragonlasers 1w spartan laser... Everyone i've talked to says it's better then the arctic

[cvbcbcmv]

@PkwyDrive13 it's not

[genxone0000]

nice......

[nororo7]

why dont you talk?

[styropyro]

@nororo7 i do, watch my previous video

[vinylloung]

@styropyro Hey styro, how come it only outputs a strong 3/4 its rated power? I bielieve its rated for <1W

[styropyro]

@vinylloung if you look in the fine print, it is only really rated for 500mW. the 1W "max" power rating is a bit shady, but it is stated that it's only guaranteed 500mW.

[vinylloung]

@styropyro Yeah its only <1W just remember that less than sign when looking at the big basic print. Nice laser though. Love the vids since 2008! Thanks Styro :D

[KKSTYLE1212]

@nororo7 This makes it easier for people from other countries to understand ;)

[CSK225]

@nororo7 He burned out his throat via his secondary hobby.... he was swallowing laser swords. :-)

PS... you'd be a fool not to watch his previous video. :)

[Pianist811]

You need to burn things with this laser. That is, if you have the burning focus lens thingy?

[NLhardcorebobNL]

So, where'd you get the laser output sensor device, and for how much?

[styropyro]

@NLhardcorebobNL it's a LaserBee 5W laser power meter with OPHIR head. It cost me $225 but it is no longer made (in this model)

[kohrak123]

Now do the S3 Krypton!

[Pyromaniac2450]

When will u buy the Wicked Lasers Spyder S3 Krypton?

[BRyanS72]

@styropyro you should make a 3-D video of some of your lasers in action, that would probably be the coolest thing ever

[tyler22295]

are u getting the kypton?

[izanesmithservo]

Customs didn't Take it away? That's Suprising!

[NuevaBestia]

Will poiting a high powered laser at a wall for a long time cause it to catch on fire?

[tgimonday100]

Hell Yeah 35th!!!!!!!!!!............anyw­ays awesome review for an awesome laser

[EnKayAre]

It is quite refreshing to see someone who wields a handheld device of such power without being one of those insane pyromaniac teenagers and posts an well thought-out review of the product.

[PersonguydudeWB]

The Artic S3 is not FDA-Compliant, I have yet to see a picture of it registering 1W on a LPM, and there are much more powerful options for half the price on many laser forums...

That being said, it's still a nice laser, when/if they decide to ship it to you.

[frostedlambs]

IS IT WORTH SAVEING UP for one oops caps plz reply

[lcarlos0]

That is awesome, I wish I could order something like that :/

[jimdt7]

I have heard that wicked lasers ship very slow and some lasers my take months to arrive ! Is that true ?
