Green Laser Pointer 1000mW | S3 Krypton | Spyder III | Wicked Lasers for $999.95

Sep 6, 2011 4:15 PM

Over 8000 times brighter than the sun. Introducing the world's brightest laser you can legally own.

Under review by Guinness World records, the Spyder 3 Krypton is the world's brightest handheld laser. Our Earth's atmosphere ends at 62 miles but the Krypton, goes beyond as it breaks through our atmosphere, into outer space. With its intergalactic range of 85 miles, the S3 Krypton is the first and only handheld laser visible from outer space. Directly viewing the dot of a the Krypton 1W laser (86 million lux) will appear over 8,000 times brighter than looking directly at the sun.

Comes with free safety goggles! Sharks and diabolical plans for world domination not included.

Yes, we're all impressed they made a laser pointer that can be seen from space. Now put it up when it's on sale, not just for sale.

@jai151: It doesn't have to be "on sale" to be a "deal". You find a comparable product for a lower price then you may criticize my deal posting.

@bsmith1:

Directly viewing the dot of a the Krypton 1W laser (86 million lux) will instantly vaporize your eyeballs.

FTFY

@takenforgranite: I was wondering if "directly viewing the dot" meant looking into the beam or just viewing the dot as projected on the wall. Your eyes probably won't melt if you're looking at the projected dot on the wall.

@bsmith1: But how long will with dot be on the wall before it burns a hole through the wall?

@magiccheese: I'm guessing you didn't select the 1000mW one. The less powerful ones are cheaper.

@thegunslinger1: Only one way to find out!

@bsmith1: Pretty certain that viewing anything 8000x brighter than the sun is gonna smart a little bit, especially are within oh... a couple miles...

Whips out a calculator
If the sun is 93,000,000 miles away, and this is 8000x times brighter, that would be, if i have my maths right, roughly like bringing the sun to 11,625 miles away... (thinking only in terms of brightness mind you, not heat)

Consider that the moon is, on average, 233,000 miles away.

I sense there may be a problem.

Definitely not a cat toy. Unless you're playing with the annoying neighbor cat that craps in your petunias. In that case, play on.

@bsmith1: Find me one comparable that's more expensive and I'll concede the point.

~$1000 is what I'd expect to pay for something like this. That's not a deal, that's just commerce.

Well, not so true!

The intensity of light is not linear to the distance between light source and target.
In fact, it decreases in the second order of magnitude to the distance.
Whoosh! I guess the moon is safe after all then.... ;-)

A mosquitos zapper for $999 ... I think I should get one soon!
But then, do mosquitoes have eyes to burn?

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
