World's brightest handheld laser. Striker 525nm 1.2 watt green laser. 

This laser is insane if you think it burns your eye watching the video. I can tell you the video does not do any justice to actual brightness. I also have a video the the Striker 7 watt which is almost 7 time more powerful. It doesn't look at bright due to the blue wavelength being less sensitive to the human eye but that laser is just plane dangerous and in fact I've melted soldering wire with it.

@@LaserGary69, which one do you like better between your 7w and 1.2w? Also why the 525nm as opposed to the 520nm? I’m buying one but am leaning towards the 520nm 1.2. I’ve had the krypton 1w 532nm from wicked lasers 12 years ago and that thing was a beast of a laser!

@brandoncabezas5473 555nm is the precise wavelength that the human eye is most sensitive to. The closer you get to that magic 555nm from either side of the spectrum the brighter the color appears to be. 5nm is not a huge difference but if rated at the same power, 525 will appear brighter than 520 to the eye. Blue is in the mid 400's so that's why the 1.2 watt green is much brighter than the 460nm 7-watt blue. The difference is that 1.2-watt green will burn things but that 7-watt blue will burn 7 times faster. In fact, it can melt metal solder and that green one doesn't have a chance. Which do I look like better? I had to have both. I wanted the most powerful handheld laser and the brightest handheld laser just for bragging rights. LOL

@@LaserGary69, isn’t the 525nm diode nowhere near as good as the 520nm diode? Also, the blue one, the divergence isn’t good at all in the blue, correct?

@brandoncabezas5473 I don't know about the quality of themdiode. All I know is the one that I have. It has performed perfectly for the past 4 years. And I have put it through some very brutal test, including leaving it on continuously far beyond the recommended range. People told me I would burn the diode out if I left it on for half an hour and it had no trouble doing that. I've dropped it on concrete by accident, And my laser performs just as perfectly now as it did when it came out of the box.

All of the lasers this company sells online are absolutely amazing when you see them in person.

@@LaserGary69 yeah I got one of the cheaper laser 304 ones from them, a 200mw red one and it says it'll take a month or longer to get to my house...

Really? They have a 2 watt green now? I need to go check it out.

Yes sir you are correct on that. And when using indoors, I have a ceramic plate I use that the laser can't burn or heat up for the target. I also have a fire extinguisher near by just in case. :)

To give you an idea of how powerful this laser is. I have actually used it to melt metal solder to connect some wires. No kidding. The laser can be focused by rotating the end near the aperture so if you get close enough and focus the beam it will melt the solder wire. You can see it produce tiny plasma explosions on the surface because of the extreme heat. You think that's cool. I bought a 7 watt engraving laser module on Ebay for about $70 and I figured out how to make it run on DC power with 8 AA lithium batteries and put all of that into a toy nerf gun and built an actual laser blaster. I took it up a notch and did the same thing with Two 8 watt engraving lasers using 16 AA lithium batteries and made a 16 Watt double barrel laser rifle. I have a video of me shooting this into night sky and the video doesn't do it enough justice. I can set pieces of wood on fire from over 25 feet away with this laser gun. I have this on my RU-vid channel. Here's the link to the first test shots of this very dangerous laser weapon. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K_6nJIsVoXQ.html

It depends on what you want to use it for, based on what you said a cheap green laser from Amazon would do the job if it's a dot you're looking for. Just don't shine it into your eyes or reflect it off a mirror into your eyes and just know that the cheaper ones emit infrared light. A cheap one from Amazon won't pop balloons unless you put it directly on the balloon, they will not light a match, but they are still pretty bright and you can see the beam at night. It'll cost you from $5 to $20.

Try xboxmod360's channel!- he's got videos on tons of lasers. I own a 1.2 watt 520nm green... no video though.

Xm360 is the channel name- I know he's got a 1.2 Watt green video on there for sure.

Wow, I haven't been on their site in a while. I didn't know they had a 2W. I'm sure it's definitely brighter. Definitely wanna see a video on that. Yes, I have a fog machine, and it makes the experience ten times four enjoyable..

@@LaserGary69 Yeah, I'm sure it is too. I'll try to post a video on here. I plan on making my own lasers soon too. I should be getting the lasers by the New Year 😅

Awsome! I just finish building my own 1w 520nm green laser, and I'm getting an insanely powerful 4w 2x(Nugm06) 525nm, bet that'll be like bringing down a green sun lol.

They are very clever. The shipping manifest that customs receives says that the item inside is a flashlight. You may be thinking that it's crazy because they will open and check it. However, they do not open the package due to the fact that they do not have the equipment to test the power of the laser. That's even if they find out that it is a laser that has been shipped. Customs is mostly looking for drugs. Any illegal weapons. There are so many lasers shipped they don't have the manpower to check every single shipment. The company is very successful and they know exactly how to Ship and stay under the customs radar. My next laser is going to be one of those RGB lasers. $1000 A little high for one laser, at least in my opinion. Once they exceed 10 Watts or 10,000mW then maybe I would spend that much. The 7-watt blue is capable of melting metal solder. It is impressive and very much worth the price.

do you still have your sanwu strikers??

@@Alienworld2660 Yes

Then is there risk that the laser is lost and can’t receive it? Because it’s price is expensive and in Korea laser law is very strict and there are too many products shipped so there is a risk of lost or caught..

Hey, well it wouldn't matter if you're a dude or a girl. If you have a passion for lasers, then you understand the technology and appreciation for them. Yes this beast takes two of the 26650 batteries which are pretty massive and in fact the ones in my Striker have not had to be charged in 3 or 4 months with a lot of use. I bought the very first 5mW green laser pointer that was on the market back in the late 90's or early 2000's. I paid $400 for that one back then. And I've been purchasing lasers ever since. The most powerful one I bought was from Wicked Laser which no longer ships to the United States due to retards shining them at aircraft. I was impressed until I came across the Striker Series. All I can say is when I fired that Striker 7 watt laser for the first time, it actually scared me and I turned it off to go outside instead. The beam is so freaking powerful that it instantly burned anything I hit with that beam. Even white painted surface which as you know reflects most laser light. I actually caused a small burn mark on this surface. Is it worth $450? I would have paid $200 or $300 more for it. I'm still shocked that this laser is even available for anyone to buy. In fact I'm sure it will be banned for sale to the U.S. soon. I went ahead and purchased Green one which is considered the worlds brightest and when I shoot that into a cloud at night time, it actually illuminates the cloud base from the ground. These lasers are so powerful I don't even like to shine them in public for very long because when you power them up, just the light from the laser caused people to look outside because I had one neighbor tell he me thought it was lightning because all his windows where flashing green like you would see in a lightning storm. If you purchase one just be sure to use safety glasses and be very careful where you shine it and do not hit a reflective surface because the bounce back can take your eyesight instantly.

@@LaserGary69 I own that 7 watt beast myself!- works very well with the 3x beam expander.

I have a wicked laser's 1.5 blue what Arctic and and it is nowhere near as impressive as this 7 W blue Striker Series.

The green laser is so incredibly bright I was not expecting how bright it actually is in person. I really like the lighting effects it causes with its intense green beam.I think I like it even better than the blue despite it not being near as powerful.

@@LaserGary69 yeah, green light is more visable wavelength to our eyes so green appears waaay brighter than the blue although blue is able to burn things faster due to the high wattage. i just bought their 1.8w green laser. can't wait to receive it.

Exactly. And the wavelength that is the most sensitive to our eyes is 555nm which is right in the middle of the Green wavelength of the visible light spectrum

Because its green, the color is more visible to the human eye

@@slvyc ah ok cheers

You got right. These lasers are unforgiving and will take your sight in a split second.

I usually don't get scared of very many things, but I will tell you that these lasers are very powerful. Once you turn it on and see the intensity and heat coming from this beam of light, you realize you're not holding a toy. Probably closest thing that we can purchase right now to a real lightsaber from Star Wars. I also realized I had to be careful with my surroundings because I could very easily burn something I wasn't intending on burning or a reflection back to my eye, and I could lose my sight instantly. So yeah scary or intense ia a good way to describe it. Be careful if you have dumbass friends who immediately will take it and start pointing at people, I've taken mine to parties and the first thing the idiots want to do is shoot it across the room full of people not realizing they could blind every single eye that beam comes across and when I say blind I'm talking about total blindness. So use it, have fun with it, and wear eye protection and don't let people handle it if you can avoid it.

@@LaserGary69 Highest power laser I've ever used is 200mW red laser, and I'm going to build a much more powerful laser by summer edit: nope, costs like $400 to build, it'll be more than just summer edit 2: nevermind, found out that fiber-coupling is much cheaper than free-space coupling
