Best Laser Pointer Picks Of 2009
There were a lot of advances to laser pointer technology throughout 2009 that really improved the quality and variety of lasers available today. Here is a list covering some of the best changes made this year and a list of the best new lasers for each respective color.
Lasers have seen some valuable changes to their design for certain models that go above and beyond what other laser pointers are capable of. Advances like the Minilock™ technology as well as diode improvements and huge changes to laser design.
Spyder I Pro
1. Spyder Laser Series
There has been a few changes made to the famous Spyder laser series with the newest designs coming in three separate models, the Spyder I – II – and III. Each has its own advantages and variations to laser body and design along with output power, while at the same time offering three color frequencies, green, blue, and now red.
What was recognized by the Guinness book of World Records in 2007 as being the world’s most powerful laser pointer has evolved to offer three different styles of elite laser pointers. The Spyder I has the look of the classic model and offer greater stability with improvements to battery life and the on/off push button being used. They have also been developed to produce an additional color from the past, now offering red as well as green and blue.
Executive Pro Series
Currently, green lasers have become the most popular color of laser beam used by pointers and laser users worldwide. Where red used to be the most common, now green has seen its movement upwards in popularity, primarily because the cost of the technology has been reduced and a green laser beam appears brightest to the human eye at the same mW power. There has been some major changes made to certain models in 2009, some of the most beneficial and widely recognized is the changes made to the Wicked Pro 2010 series lasers, including the Executive Pro, Evolution Pro, and the Elite Pro. Here is a look at the top three laser pointers you can buy of 2009 (not including the Spyder series).
Pulsar Pro
Red lasers used to be the most widely used and recognized color of laser beam available as it was the cheapest to develop and the first laser color ever to be made widely available. The old cheap keychain lasers of the past with replaceable caps used to be available, but of poor quality giving lasers a somewhat bad name. Today, there has been leaps and bounds made to red laser technology and we see a wide variety of pointers you can buy online, but only the Pulsar Pro has made the most up to date changes to lead the way for red laser technology. With much improved stability and battery life this has become one of the most useful red lasers available today, see an image of the new Pulsar series here.
Spyder III Pro
Blue lasers are of the rarest and most tantalizing of all the laser pointer colors available. Not only is it far more difficult to produce well, but the costs of manufacturing blue lasers are higher as well. But that does not mean that the cost has to be outrageous to buy a blue laser with certain advances made today. Now, the most improved blue laser of this year is the Spyder Blue laser varieties that are available and mentioned above.
5. Purple / Blu-Ray Laser Pointers
The blu-ray or purple laser pointer is the most recent addition to the laser technology that we see today. Made with real blu-ray diodes these are very unique and produce a beam that is purple or violet in color, creating an effect never really used before. This laser was originally developed as the Sonar II burner and today we have seen some changes to that model. Now the Sonar series offers 3 different laser pointers of varying output power and design to offer a more wide range of availability to the laser color. With advances in the blue ray stability and the use of improved engineering design has made the Sonar Series a true feat of technology. Take a look at the 3 new models being offered as of 2009 for purple laser pointers.
