As of right now,

whats the best laser money can buy as far as unlimited duty cycle?

and that shines as bright as wl advertises (up to 85 miles)
 





Lol you can outshine wickedlasers laser any day with a build from someone from this forum :beer:
 
Just about all lasers have a duty cycles, even the ones WL sells as no duty cycle. The ones that truly have no duty cycles go into the thousands in most cases. Heat is the diodes worst enemy. It will kill the diode faster.
 
if you want no duty cycle a labby is your best bet or a porta-labby diy of some sort
 
I recommend contacting flaminpyro on this forums! He has on massive diy kit with massive copper heatsink for sale!

And how much money we're talking about here, because i know a few things that money can buy!!
 
I can get an unlimited duty cycle green labby (2W) @ around double the advertised power of the krypton (1W) for about $1200. (portable with extension cords!)

Not so good with converting wavelength and power to miles, but that WILL go far ;)

Yea flaminpyro can make a sick heatsink to get a great duty cycle :D
 
Joe or Harold are the people you want to talk to. Nothing against Flamin, but he makes heat sinks, not hosts. The 2 people I listed can make you a complete custom host. The whole host becomes the heat sink, and you'll get far better run times than just a heat sink stuck in a flash light, no matter how big it is.
 
Thanks for the awsome replies. Yeah what I am trying to get is a pretty similar thing to my krypton. Just a bit better. I dont mind paying the money that it may cost. I just want something that has a nice duty cycle that I wouldnt have to worry about turning off every 2 minutes.

I was looking into Orange Lasers and Blue Lasers.

Price isnt really much of an issue. Just want something GOOD

IF its custom build Id want something really custom lol not something most people could get >=D
 
Well, I'll just say this. You won't have much luck with amber-orange color and super-high visibility. 445nm (450nm) is probably the best option out of your two, go for one of Harold's hosts for something different. However, if the budget allows for some bigger $$ go for 473nm or 589nm, much more "unique" colors.
 
Sent a message to both joe and Harold. Hopefully they reply with a bit of info. Will love to have a few lasers and be more active here with new toys (:


Lol may need to sell the krypton s3 with extended lense kit and saber.
 
Also I'm sorry if this is a noob questions. But do all laser colors have the potential to emit a beam at night that points up to the Sky?


And if so what is the cause of that? Is it the watts? Or?
 
odd question, the brightness we perceive is part W and part scattering, and part eyeball. but yes if you point a laser up, its goes up, a laser is EM radiation and we only see a tiny tiny tiny % of the EM spectrum. A regular 532nm DPSS green laser is the brightest of common lasers to a common eyeball. W for W
