1.2W 445nm blue DIY laser. It peaks at 1.35W. The laser is in a Wicked Lasers Spyder II host. This is NOT the arctic laser. It is a DIY laser. It uses a 445nm laser diode from a video projector.

The diode is being driven at 1.1A.
The laser uses one 18650 battery.

also wickedlasers only makes up to a 1w laser ( arcric spyder)

[LineMasterJorbob]

@luiskablugenize The arctic spyder from wickedlasers is not legal. If I recall correctly, any laser above 5mW requires proper safety features in order to be deemed legal. Despite what wickedlasers says on their website, their arctic spyder is not legal due to its lack of safety features.

Nice job. I suppose you wouldn't have made any extras for sale?

[LineMasterJorbob]

@mocho011 Yes. It leaves a scar after every burn.

@luiskablugenize

Also wickedlaser strongest laser is 500/1000mW MOst arctics are 750mW

[skunk96]

where the hell you get this? You made one???

[YouWoW1z1]

@LineMasterJorbob This is not true, The wicked lasers arctic is FDA compliant, meaning that it is fully legal if used responsibly. It has the small pin on the end cap, as well as the smartswitch, which needs a code to turn on, it ensures that it will not turn on unless the code is entered (the chance of it being entered while in someones pocket or not in someones hands is about one in a million.

so yeah, the wicked lasers spyder 3 arctic is legal.

weapon...!

Hard!!!

@luiskablugenize

And its not even 1w it's 700mW actually

@Themandudebro227 I think styropyro is a pretty cool guy. Eh builds lasers and doesnt afraid of anything.

[Themandudebro227]

@LineMasterJorbob hey i love making really powerful lasers too. but have you ever happened to come across a guy named styropyro, he is awesome and he builds tons of lasers too. you would like him!

[Themandudebro227]

@Elmers32Glue so? did you even read the name, he PUT a different laser in the host of an old wicked laser

[gogita1]

+ :-D

Nice job. You are a true jedi. To everyone else... All the safety requirements and power restrictions are only on hand-held lasers and all restrictions so far are only on handheld lasers "for sale" or being imported. Read the law and read what can be done before calling this jedi a liar.
