With Smartswitch 2.0 that number has been increased to seven modes including Tactical Hibernation that allows you to turn the laser on without having to go through the security clicks that act as a safety from unauthorized use. The Arctic Series we tested last year had just four power on modes - low power constant beam, high power constant beam, low pulse and high pulse. It is important to remember that this battery hasn't been charged since October 2010! When I located it for this review the battery was still in the laser and the unit still shot an amazing blue beam that lasted for several hours. Around the time we moved the Arctic sat in a box for over three months. I can now update you on that today after having the Arctic in house for more than a year. In our last review we didn't talk too much about battery life because we never drained it between testing and writing the review. You still get the same amazing build quality that we will show today, but the overall length has increased by a couple of inches.īoth the Arctic and Krypton Series use the same Sanyo Lithium 18650 battery which is good if you own them both. Physically the Krypton Series looks nearly identical to the Arctic Series from last year. This new model was launched in four power classes, 300mW, 500mW, 750mW and the unit we are looking at today 1000mW (1 watt). The new Wicked Lasers Spyder III Krypton is the world's first consumer 1 watt green laser. On the other side, you can still get the 1 watt version like we are testing today and take the laser experience to a whole new level. That means you can use a less powerful green laser and still get the same effects we observed with the Arctic model last year. According to Wicked Lasers, green light appears to the human eye 2,000% brighter than blue light. ![]() That firsthand experience is going to come in handy this year because Wicked Lasers has a new, even brighter model that is the must have laser for 2012. Orders are now shipping very quickly and delivery times are very reasonable. ![]() Wicked Lasers learned firsthand about inventory management and those issues have now been tackled. The build quality of these Spyder III units is amazing. If you took your Arctic and smacked someone over the head with it, you could kill them and not damage the laser housing in any way. The build quality on the Arctic Series isn't anything like what you find in grocery store lasers, nor is its output power.
