Wicked Lasers radically redefines the way we see lasers yet again. Blue diodes was originally invented by the world-renowned genius, Shuji Nakamura over 10 years ago. However, blue direct blue laser diodes have just now become available in the consumer market. Wicked Lasers has created partnerships with the world's leading blue diode manufacturers to create the world's first 445nm direct blue diode portable laser, the Arctic.
http://www.wickedlasers.com/lasers/S3_S ... 96-37.htmlThe Arctic emits a 445nm cool blue, ultra high power 1W beam which appears up to 4000% brighter than the Sonar's 405nm violet beam. This direct blue laser diode is the result of the evolution of laser technology. Less than one year ago, this laser would have cost thousands of dollars to build. Don't let the Arctic name fool you, this laser possesses the most burning capabilities of any portable laser in existence. That's why it's also the most dangerous laser ever created. In recognizing and mastering the power of direct blue diodes, the Wicked Lasers' Arctic shall become the standard by which all other blue lasers are judged.
The new Arctic makes history with the addition of an electronic SmartSwitch™. The ergonomically positioned SmartSwitch™ makes the laser over 100 times safer to handle and enables 6 long-awaited features.
As an additional safety precaution, each Arctic comes with a removable training lenses and standard lenses. The removable training lenses allows our users to initially start out using the Arctic but at a fraction of its maximum output power. Replace the training lenses with the included standard lenses for maximum power.
Laser Safety Tips:
1 - Do not allow minors to use a handheld laser unsupervised. Furthermore, only allow adults to use laser pointers after they have understood the responsibilities and risks that it carries.
2 - Never shine a laser at anyone, especially their face. Even temporary exposure can cause significant damage to the eye. Lasers are designed to point at inanimate objects.
3 - Always be conscious of where you're pointing. Avoid pointing a laser at any reflective surfaces. Unintentionally reflected beams can easily violate laser safety tip #2.
4 - Never use your laser in the vicinity of airports, highways, construction sites or anywhere individuals need to constantly pay attention to their work for their own safety. A split-second distraction, a sudden laser light in a plane cockpit, for example, can be disastrous.
5 - Be especially cautious around high-powered lasers, like green handheld lasers used for stargazing. They are far stronger than the conventional red lasers commonly used during lectures. And do not purchase a handheld laser at all if it does not identify its class or power.
6 - Do not purchase a handheld laser if it does not have a caution or danger sticker on it identifying its class. Report suspicious devices to the FDA.
