oh amazing concept, there are dangerous objects out there in the world.
Last time I checked, the U.S. allows morons to own sub-automatic guns as long as they aren't a felon. So sorry buster, deal with it.

Wait wait wait,
The food and drug administration...
I'm sorry, but last time I checked the FDA holds no jurisdiction on that subject as a laser is neither a food nor a drug. And if the base company is in the U.S. then the FDA cannot fine them for importation in the first place because the company would have already obtained permission for the product's manufacture in a foreign country.

Mr. Onlyocelet,
Your desire to protect the safety of your fellow citizens is admirable, but pointless, shortsighted and biased.
I understand that as a photonics student you are in a unique position to criticize the idiocy of your fellow man when it comes to lasers. However you might note that many people do understand the dangers of lasers and that the product itself comes with a long list of hazards and precautions and the laser itself is tagged with a marker indicating how dangerous it is.
Also, assuming you're American, your fellow citizens have the right to own weapons capable of filling you with a thousand holes in the span of a few seconds, so I really think a product advertised as an adult's toy is going to make it far on the road to illegality.
You should also note that there are several safety restrictions on the use of lasers, if a laser hits or comes anywhere near an aircraft, it is a felony with quite a long jail sentence.

As you plainly stated, there are many uses for these lasers outside of the whimsical fancies propagated by Wicked Lasers, however they are not marketing the product for those purposes. You are welcome to explore those uses on your own and I'm sure you will. However everyone is not a photonics student and therefore not everyone has the expertise required to develop functioning holography units or really do much more than light a match.

And your rant may have some strange basis, but you honestly sound like some religious zealot intent upon killing the infidels who dare stray from your strange perverted ideal.

By the by, you had your facts a little mixed up there, WL doesn't sell a 15 mW laser for 300, it would be a 95 mW which is considerably more powerful, and a little more cost effective than your earlier statements.

And as entertaining as it is to refute the ill conceived, biased, and pretentious arguments of an individual who took 33 years longer than everyone else to get to college. I have better things to be doing.
Have a wonderful day, and perhaps next time you will consider more even-handed arguments, or work on your rhetoric (if, as I am sure you are, unsure of the true meaning of rhetoric, I suggest you break out that wonderful tool called a dictionary and educate yourself).

I understand the concerns being raised by a number of readers, but some fears are not really such a threat.

Of course almost anything can be dangerous in the hands of an idiot. For instance, a car. An idiot might just plow into a huge group of people. He could kill and hurt a huge bunch of people. But we shouldn't ban cars for that because the practical value of a car is significant, as opposed to a high power laser.

Most, if not all people, who get high power lasers are laser enthusiasts. They know what these lasers can do, they know how they work, and are for the most part, responsible. There are always going to be idiots, but they are actually not a big concern. First of all, most malicious idiots don't even know about high power lasers. Second, they wouldn't use a high power laser simply because such items are too expensive. It's much cheaper to resort to other tactics. Third, blinding people at a long distance is actually quite difficult with these lasers. Try holding a laser pointer dot still on a reflective sign 10 feet away. Then try 50. Then 100. If you're lucky, you will be able to maintain steady aim at 100 feet. I can be fairly sure it will be nearly impossible to maintain aim at a mile's distance.

The burning power of a IIIb laser significantly declines as distance increases. There is a reason why no videos exist of people burning stuff dozens of feet away with IIIb lasers. Also, I am yet to year of a case of a madman going amok blinding people and causing mayhem with a powerful laser pointer. I have heard of a couple people pointing weaker lasers at police and their helicopters, but come on, if you're doing that, the idiocy in that act alone makes you worthy of being shot at. Nevertheless, such incidents are relatively rare.

Class IIIb laser light show projectors require a license. However, very little is said about other class IIIb lasers. Class IIIb lasers cannot be marketed as laser "pointers" in the US, and they must come with 5 safety features, such as a key switch and emission delay. As far as I know, you are allowed to posses a class IIIb handheld laser, so long as you are responsible with it. That probably means not pointing it outside, though I guess if you were even-minded and responsible, you could point it outside without any problems.

http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/radhealth/products/lpm....

People can responsibily use class IIIb lasers. People can use them irresponsibly as well. However, I do not think the actions of the few warrant banning the possesions of such items.

Screw you assholes who are dissing on lasers...
To each his own, if some people like lasers and you happen to loooove having sex with your dad but hate lasers, I'm not going to go bashing on you for being a faggot. Leave the f***ing laser enthusiasts alone!

There's a VERY interesting thread about dragonlasers on www.laserpointerforums.com that people might need to be aware of. Bottom line: their lasers' don't seem to measure up.

Hey Schoolsux, in November 2006 you said that www.dragonlasers.com were great then in January 2007 you carry on about problems with Dragonlasers.

Sounds like youi are a wickedlasers fanboy with an attitude problem. A quick browse of www.dragonlasers.com and a chat with the members of www.laserpointerforums.com will show that you are lying. A search of google will show that Dragonlasers phone number IS NOT a Shen Zhen phone number. As many people know (apart from you), the contact people for Dragonlasers have all been men fluent in English (so far).

Not only do your lies and deception reflect badly on yourself, they also reflect badly on wickedlasers who most likely have no affiliation with you and are a reputable seller in their own right..

Have to be very careful with these lasers - definately very dangerous in the wrong hands! Always wear goggles indoors and be very, very careful where you point these things outside.

Still I find it amusing that there is such a big fuss in the US over a laser and yet no one questions the ownership of semi-automatic weapons capable of killing 10s of people a minute!

Wow, these sure are powerful! Safety should be a concern, though assuming most these comments come from people in the US, one would think forks have been banned there with so many nuts, let alone guns: "...keep the concept ?body bag? in mind..."
By the way, for all those who complain that the problem with this is that it's 'useless', safety apart, don't you get the concept of fun? Don't you have Playstations, Cable TV, anything that resembles a game or that might be entertaining, just because it doesn't benefit humanity? C'mon, the Internet is the best place to stop being hypocritical!
