WickedLasers Unveils "Lightsaber" Powerful Enough to Set People on Fire


Well I am flabbergasted by this one. I don't know how they're doing the $197.97 price seeing as their 500mw Green is $3,000. And it's no where near April Fool's Day.

Get one Booty get one !!

And of course you'll come back here and write us a review on the thing.

I think I'll call 'em and ask a few questions.


WW's present arsenal: 200mw Green, 100mw Violet

Alright Booty,

Thanks for posting this. Maybe I will beat you to that review?

1 Watt laser for two hundred bucks ?? Gotta see this one !! So I made the buy. These should sell out fast and might get banned before long so yabba dabba doo :cool:
 
id love to have one ..... but $200 is just too much for me irreguardless of the fact that its an awesome deal . 5mw is the maxium legal green laser strength for most folks in the usa , you have to have some kind of legal business or research use for anything stronger and this thing being 20 times stronger than a 200mw green one is sure to be made illegal for the average joe .

but ....... it could be the cure for the guy slpattering the air waves with music or obscene language . cruse by late at night and melt his coax from the road . LOL

Well apparently not. There seems to be some restriction for greater than 5mw lasers coming direct from China or Asia, but not from England. WLs is in England and they ship all of their models to the U.S. every day.
 
It's only cheap because it uses common parts from projection televisions.

I can't imagine these things being legal to purchase/own in the US for very long. The danger posed to aircraft by such items will be enough to make sure of it.
 
I thought that it was pretty irresponsible of this company to make these things look like the light sabers from 'Star Wars'. Next thing ya know, kids will want one for Xmas - so they can duel with their friends. Sorta like BB guns from days past. Kids will be showing up with scars or what looks like bad surgery at school. That is - if they don't loose their eye sight in one or both eyes first - another eventuality similar to the BB gun analogy - BTW. Actually, a BB gun is safer in comparison; they aren't that accurate compared to a laser...

Yeah, and the aircraft threat argument is also valid as well.

What are these people mfg these things thinking?!? What possible marketable attributes does this thing really offer anyway - besides someone loosing their sight?

It's all about the $$$$$$$$$


I've spoken to multiple people that have been green lasered on final approach at one of the country's larger airports. I can only imagine how bad it's going to be once this 1w monster gets out there.

They are no different than guns. Guns don't kill people. People kill people.

If there were no guns or lasers then folks would use knives or sticks or rocks.

Guns, lasers, knives, sticks and rocks can all be used for responsible purposes by responsible people. Even kids with ordinary - reasonable training and instruction.

Higher power lasers come with plenty of warnings. Actually.... I don't see any warnings on gun or knife boxes ;)

EXACTLY !!!
 
Lasers no different than guns = bullshit.

It's a completely different issue. You fire a gun at an aircraft and I guarantee you that you will be caught. You step out in your backyard in a large city and shine your laser on an aircraft on approach to land the chances of you being caught are far less. The chances however of causing blindness even temporary for the innocent flight crew are far more likely.

Don't believe me? Google the issue. It's a serious problem, guns shooting at planes not so much.

Yes yes GLR you are right about what you are saying about SOME stupid people who abuse lasers. It is a felony to fire ANY kind of laser device at an aircraft in the United States.

Now what????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Is your point over?

Everyone who uses such lasers are not abusers of them. Will you acknowledge that?
 
Once upon a time I thought you were just a troll that needed more practice, now I know that you are just slow.

Never did I say that all laser users were "abusers of them".

An item with no real use that I can dream of that is capable of causing immediate blindness and able to set skin on fire. Makes sense to me.

And you show here an utter lack of imagination and that you only like to take contrary positions to anything said on the entire forum because you like to argue to much and are overly fond of touching your keyboard.

I would engage you in a battle of wits Mister GLR, but I don't fight unarmed men :laugh:
