Really amazing how small and powerful lasers are getting. I remember having to use glass tubes with mirrors and HV supplies with stacks of capacitors and water for cooling. Now more power than that is hand held. Retails for $300.

Wickedlasers claim their Spyder 3 Krypton is the world's brightest handheld laser so powerful its beam breaks through the atmosphere into outer space. With a theoretical 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 1-watt laser (86 million lux) will appear over 8,000 times brighter than looking directly at the sun. Safety goggles are a must.

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 it's 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. Safety goggles are a must.
The human eye perceives pure green light 800%, 2,000%, and 19,000% brighter than red, blue, and purple light respectively. If you enjoyed wielding the awesome power of the S3 Arctic, then you'll want the S3 Krypton the most visible handheld laser on Earth, in your hands.
TeslaCool Thermostatic Regulation. The Krypton is the first laser to contain an internal thermopile detector. When excess heat is detected, the microprocessor gradually lowers operating current to ensure temperature stabilization.
Tactical Smartswitch 2.0. You have total control of the 85 mile visible laser beam. Now with 9 operation modes - including 5 new tactical modes - SOS (Hi / Low) , Beacon (Hi / Low) , and Tactical Hibernation.
100% unlimited duty cycle. Operate the laser continuously, 24/7 with no risk of damaging the laser diode.
Strong laser in a strong body. The aircraft grade aluminum chassis, same as the S3 Arctic, is a fully tested and proven quality construction that lets you be confident that the S3 Krypton is as well built as it is strong and bright.
Powerful safety features. The SmartSwitch technology locks out unauthorized access to your S3 Krypton making this super-powered laser inoperable when unattended.
