Common materials can char, burn, or burst into flame. The beam causes a painful burn that leaves a scar. Even a reflection off a shiny surface or off a window is enough to cause eye damage. At close range, the direct beam can “pop” an eye. (A photo of the Casio with all 24 diodes emitting a giant beam is on this page scroll down to find the picture.) This is how Wicked Lasers was able to introduce a nominal 1 watt laser at such a low price.Īny visible-beam laser over 1/2 watt is in the most hazardous laser safety classification, Class 4, due to the following: Previously such diodes cost around $2400 each however an $840 projector could yield 24 diodes making the cost just $35 each. In early 2010, hobbyists discovered that by disassembling and “harvesting” the projectors, they could create up to 24 handheld lasers, each with up to 1 watt of output power. This line of projectors uses up to 24 laser diodes, each of which can output in the 500 mW - 1 W region. The diodes were reportedly harvested from Casio “Green Slim” video projectors, which are widely available online and and office supply stores.

Of the Wicked Lasers Spyder III Pro Arctic series laser. This laser is much more powerful, at a much lower cost, than was ever before available.Ĭlick for a review of the safety features Major Internet laser seller Wicked Lasers introduced the Spyder III Pro Arctic, with a nominal 1 watt beam at a price of only USD $200 (later increased to $299). On June 9, 2010, the laser safety game changed: consumers can now buy an ultra-high powered laser pointer.
