In 2004, Wicked Lasers introduced it's frist line of green lasers with output powers ranging from 5mW to 60mW. During this time green lasers were rare and came with a hefty price, much more so with the introduction of the blue lasers in 2006 when a 40mW blue laser cost as much as $3,500, but not anymore...
Seven years later Wicked Lasers is changing the status quo with the 2010 Price Drop. Having acquired a major laser manufacturer to meet increased demand, extreme cost savings are being passed directly to customers.
Wicked Lasers products will continue to be the world's most innovative and highest quality handheld lasers.
