The US military has recently been working hand in hand with thinklasers.com to experiement and implement the tactical applications of non-lethal weaponry, like laser pointers, in the actual field of combat. Working in Iraq and Afghanistan US troops have made a point to use both the SPYDER ii gx/bx models a long with the elite green lasers and photonic disruptor laser series which provide powerful beams that are visible and intimidating for more than 1-50 miles, whatever the soldier may require.

Also, thinklasers.com has provided varios infrared laser pointers for use during night missions where targets must be “tagged” by a troop with a laser pointer so that an air strike or location can be targeted, without the enemy seeing a visible beam of ligth. This has provided a great level of confidence and improved technology to the troops and is saving soldiers lives as targets can now be spotted and struck from long distances with the aid of air support.

Various laser pointers provide certain benefits in comparison to others and are also used bySWAT police officers, fire fighters, rescue workers, the red cross, fisherman, scuba divers, and freigher ships alike. The proper use of these powerful laser tools has seen a huge rise as the lasers become not only more realiable but more affordable as well.

Buy green laser pointers from a source that works to help protect the lives of real people and has been used in several instances for rescues and various operations around the globe. Take heart in knowing that all thinklasers lasers are thoroughly tested and are guaranteed to be the most effective in any application you can throw at them.

The military has even begun to train young cadets and recruits for night missions with the use of the Executive Series green laser pointers at langley and fort Bragg for over 5 years.

The uses of various laser pointers have become more and more practical as science and technology combine their research efforts and utilize high-tech light tools more openly. The visible light spectrum is a point of interest to many scientists including marine biologists and astronomers, but how is light effected as a scuba diver moves deeper and deeper into the darkness of the deep ocean?

This question was recently tackled to determine how the light spectrum is influenced by water pressure as well as the salt content of the water, and how that effects both reefs and wildlife alike. In order to make this experiment possible a powerful and waterproof laser pointer was required that could not only remain active under water, but that could also deal with any depth pressures the water would create. This limited the possibilities to a single world class laser, actually, the world’s most powerful laser pointer which is actually a waterproof military grade light tool, the Spyder II GX.

This laser produces a powerful beam of light at 200-300mW bright green 532nm wavelength, the most visible light to the human eye. The laser is also visible for more than 50 miles and can submerge to 100m plus, making it a great safety tool as well as experimentation device.

Here is a graph image of the results and information gathered from the experiment.

If you are looking to buy laser pointers or are interested in laser light research and development, Thinklasers.com is a global leader who works with various scientific groups and agencies to provide the cheapest lasers at the best price for continued research. It takes a specific quality of laser and laser diode to complete many prominent experiments, using a shoddy laser can damage your reputation and completely ruin your expected or intended results.

The world of laser pointers is continuously evolving as better technology hits the drawing boards and diodes improve their stability, collimation, and lifetime year to year. In order to maintain the highest quality standards available Thinklasers.com thoroughly tests each and every laser model to meet the finest laser gadget specs for all color and output power ranges.

The brilliant and popular Executive Series 532nm green laser pointer is available from 15mW through 125mW. Here, we look at the 75mW pointer and its specs as well as its performance.

Executive Series green laser pointers produce a powerful beam of condensed light at a brilliant frequency of 532nm and, depending on the output power, is clearly visible for miles. The 75mW model we are looking at here is visible for more than 35+ miles through a clear night sky and is capable of burning through plastics, lighting matches, popping balloons, and producing some of the best astronomy laser visuals possible.

The quality of the diodes incorporated into the improved solid Aluminum shell make this one of a kind laser both reasonably shock resistant and gives it an expected lifetime of more than 5000+ hours. Using just 2 AAA alkaline batteries to power the laser for several hours, this light and sleek laser gadget is compact and sturdy enough to survive steadily for years and is a great investment into light technology that continues to give back to its user again and again.

Like all Thinklasers pointers, the executive series comes with a standard 3 month warranty and protection period, as well as the assurance that the quality is the highest available in the laser market today.

There has been a huge increase in the amount of shoddy laser pointers and cheap laser pointers that have begun flooding the internet and really taking away from the value of other reputable lasers available. These high quality instruments are usually not toys and when regarded as cheap tools, the quality in design usually tends to fall off the standards established by todays top quality laser providers.

The difference between shoddy laser pointers and high quality lasers is very visible to the trained eye, and a few tips can protect the untrained laser eye as to what is actually worth buying and what should be steered well clear from.

First of all, what is the cost of the laser?Like other high quality items and precision laser instruments, the lower the price does not mean you are always getting a good deal. A cheap $20 laser key chain will tend to burn its diode out in a matter of minutes, hours if you are lucky, and then be nothing more than a wate of space in your pocket or on your desk. The average cost of a high quality 5mW laser pointer should run the gammet from $50-$100 considering the lasers are designed properly and have an expected lifetime of 5000+ hours.

Secondly, what type of testimonials or reviews are available for the products you may be looking at? When we see loads of cheap laser pens and pointers on sale with zero positive reviews or zero testimonials at all, we may want to think to ourselves “why is there no info on the laser itself?”. Usually, that is because the company offering the product does not want the consumer to be aware of the poor quality in design and therefore lose business for themselves.

Laser providers like Thinklasers.com go above and beyond to not only include all of the vital information needed to make an informed laser purchase, but also images, videos, and user testimonials who have been happilly using their lasers for whatever individual applications they have designed.

It doesn’t take much to see that a little bit of due dilligence in research and spending the extra few dollars is a proper investment, because that is what buying a laser is, its an investment in technology that you should plan to use for years to come. Knowing what you are getting before you get it builds confidence and squashes confusion about what exactly a laser you may want to buy is really capable of.

Remember to do a little research, send an email, or just look online for reveiws and testimonials about the laser pointers you are really considering to purchase. A few minutes can save you a few hundred dollars or more and a whole bunch of headaches that come along with poor diodes and lasers that burn out in a matter of days.

All thinklasers.com products meet the highest world class laser diode standards, come complete with 6 month warranties (and extended warranties) and have been seen in theGuinness Book of World Records as having the world’s most powerful laser pointer through the SPYDER II GX laser series. But all models and designs meet the strictest of laser standards and have continued to provide quality light instruments to business, universities, and military organizations around the world. Be sure to check out the world’s finest laser pointer sale collection anywhere.

Recently there has been some talk over the past year or so, in particular the last few months, where the Australian government is giving strong consideration to a national ban on high power laser pointer imports. For all of you Aussie laser fans, DO NOT WORRY.

While some officials have called for stricter enforcement of laser laws, there has beenno change to the current format of regulation.

What does this mean to you?

It means that you can still freely and openly buy, sell, import, or export powerful lasers to and from the Australian continent. Thinklasers.com guarantees fast, safe, and discreet global shipping, including all addresses within AU.

The key to safely keeping your laser is in your hands. Simple safety precautions when you are using your laser, for whatever purpose, will keep you and others out of any potential harms way.

Never point your burning lasers at any person, vehicle, or aircraft.

It takes a little knowledge and know how to determine which laser pointer is the best choice for you personally. A few things come to mind that you may want to consider, like:

a. What do you need a laser pointer for?

You may have some scientific experiment in mind, but you may also be looking for a high tech light tool brighter and stronger than any other. Do you need to shine the laser over distances, or use it at close range? Are you star gazing or burning paper and lighting matches? Think about what you are going to use the laser for, before you decide to buy one.

b. How much output power are you looking for?

Any green laser at 532nm from 75mW and up will be capable of popping balloons and can be seen for miles (25+), but if you need a more subtle laser pointer pen then a weaker output may be ideal at 5mW or more. The world’s most powerful laser pointer is the Spyder II GX and has been recognized by the Guinness book of World Records, this 300+ mW laser power house is waterproof, durable, and visible for about 60+ miles, not for your typical laser fan.

c. What laser color frequency (nm) best suites you?

Green at a frequency of 532nm is the brightest to the human eye and most capable of burning at high output powers. 473nm blue laser light is visually spectacular while 650nm produces a beautiful red beam and yellow laser (orange) light is produced at a frequency of 594nm. Every laser is unique, be sure to consider what color you are looking for when adding to your collection.

The most popular lasers today are powerful green lasers that are visible for miles and produce visually spectacular light displays. There are many places to buy green laser pointers, but only one Thinklasers.com
