Wow apparently these are lasers. I can’t imagine how expensive and powerful they must be to be so visible!
Hey fellow laser enthusiasts, would anybody be interested in a meet up around Toronto of things that look cool at night (Lasers and flashlights in particular)?
I’m gauging interest in a meeting for us pocket sun and laser enthusiasts sometime in October before the weather turns nasty.

Generally if theres something in the sky, don’t shine a laser at it unless you can be sure it’s a celestial object. As far as contacting aliens with lasers, the nearest planets and things in the sky outside of our galaxy are thousands if not millions of light years away. If you were to shine a...
I met up with the guy yesterday and tested it out behind a building. On the lowest setting, the point appeared significantly brighter than that of my 150mw 520nm pocket and looked to be of the same colour.
As I was testing it, two security guards came up and looked at what the seller and I...
Hey, thanks for the reply and the info. I’ll likely be testing it outdoors against a hedge or something else non reflective. From what I’ve read on the forums, only beams of ~1.5w+ green is visible in direct sunlight so that’s another reference I can’t really use. I’ll just do a side by side...
Hello! (Canada here)
I'll likely be meeting a stranger tomorrow to purchase their used Krypton which he claimed to have purchased in 2017 from Wicked Lasers.
He was unable to supply the specifications and didn't seem too knowledgeable in general regarding lasers. (recommended wearing sunglasses...
Have you ordered already? I’d recommend ordering directly from Sanwu to ensure don’t get a knockoff product. Pretty much all reviews of them, and my personal experience, have been terrific. I’m not sure about the LaserPointerStore
Here’s a coupon code from Sanwu: LPFOFF10
Violet at 200mW is quite dim to my knowledge and it also doesn’t burn super well due to the relatively low power. It’ll pop balloons and light matches when focused but it doesn’t really have any paper burning capabilities (from what I’ve read here)
I have this thing I bought while I was in China several years ago.
It takes 2 AAAs and is about 12cm long.
It claims 5mw but I have no way of measuring it. It is about the same brightness as those button cell dollar store pointers.
I don’t need it anymore because I’ve moved onto more powerful...
It looks like the original post hasn't been updated since June 2018. I didn't notice this until after I looked at optotronics. Their prices seem to be borderline scam level. Almost $1000 USD for a 350mw 532 green?? Their other green lasers seem to just be lil pen ones but he charges over $200...
