I am blown away with what I just recieved from Wicked Lasers... I saw that they had built one of the 445nm diodes into a pointer and had for sale for $197.97 and 10% off for anyone that has half a brain and can google "wicked lasers discount code". I couldn't resist with a promise of 1Watt and a beam profile of 1.5mm with a 1.5mRad divergence for under $180... With that beam profile and price, I just couldn't resist, so I got one on the way... now this is where the the ouch start.... This is the letter they sent me today, a general letter they send all their customers..... I'll let you all comment on it.....
Hi Rick!
So you are planning on getting a Wicked Lasers. Maybe you've just ordered it and you're waiting patiently for it to arrive in the mail. In any case, congratulations are in order; here's to your new laser pointer!
But wait...
Now you have an incredibly high powered laser pointer at your disposal, what should you burn first?
Wicked Lasers Survival Course - Tip #1
Before you begin, unscrew the battery cap and stick a couple brand new or fully charged batteries into the laser. Don't know which way they go? Check out the Wicked Lasers Master Guide. Point the laser away from you, slide on your slick LaserShades, and press the button. Oh yeah, let's burn some stuff!
Popping Balloons. Take a deep breath and blow! Fill the balloon until it is decently sized. If the balloon is light colored, use a black sharpie or any black marker and add a black spot. Now aim at the black spot and fire. POP! Try with more balloons, line them up and see how many you can blow up.
Cutting Electrical Tape. Dig around the house and find some black electrical tape. If it's not black, use the same sharpie trick and color it black. Tape one end on the edge of a table, give it some slack, and let the entire roll hang. Melt through the tape until the entire roll falls on the floor.
Lighting Matches. Bust out the sharpie one more time and color the tip of the match black. Now, with the match in one hand, and your laser in another, aim the laser beam at the crown of the match. Amazing huh? Be careful not to put the laser too close to the match though.
Have you ever burned anything with a magnifying glass when you were a little kid? Well, the same theory applies to lasers. The magnifying glass can focus the laser beam giving you even more burning power! Try it!
Now, explore around the house and see what else you can torch. If you spent all day burning and melting and it's already dark outside. Check out the laser beam in the night sky. Can you see the end of it? Crazy huh? I bet the laser was everything you imagined it to be.
