Star Wars fans rejoice: someone has finally succeeded in creating a working lightsaber. And it can be yours for only US $197.97.
Hong Kong company Wicked Lasers has manufactured “the most dangerous laser ever created,” a lightsaber with a blue beam that can burn retinas and set skin on fire.
The Spyder III Pro Arctic features a 1 watt laser the company warns is the most powerful portable laser available. The beam is a thousand times more powerful than sunlight on skin and the manufacturer warns it could cause cancer.
It’s definitely not something you want to give to your seven-year-old Star Wars fanatic.
Cautions Wicked Lasers:
Warning: Extremely dangerous is an understatement to 1W of laser power. At close range, this Class 4 beam will cause immediate and irreversible retinal damage. Use with extreme caution and use only when wearing proper safety goggles with an O.D. of 3+ is required and 4.4+ for longer exposures.
For your convenience, the Arctic comes packaged with free safety glasses.
World Lasers says it ships the light saber to over 70 countries, Canada included.
