Deciding which lightsaber should be rated number one was pretty simple, everyone who emails me tells me they LOVE the same one every time. So I bought it myself and gave it the twice over for those of you who don’t own one yet.

It looks like a lightsaber but it isn’t actually one. This new blue laser device by the Wicked Lasers is really awesome and comes packed with a high power laser.

It is one of its kind class 4 laser pointer with an output of one watt blue beam at a frequency of 445 nm, which can easily burn lots of things! Actually, so much uncertainty and concern about this product has been due to the cease and desist letters which has been sent by LucasFilms to Wicked Lasers, saying that their gadget resembles too much with their immensely popular Jedi weapon, which is a light saber.

The Spyder 3 Arctic Pro gadget has been made using blue laser diodes from the Casio projector. Currently it is one of the world’s most powerful laser at just $200. It has the capability to set the things on fire and is very dangerous to handle. The laser beam from Spyder 3 Arctic Pro if fired in somebody’s eyes can even blind them permanently. I’m not sure what you will be doing with this device but people just love such gadgets.

The makers of this laser have said that this is a terrifying piece of technology. It should never be used as a sort of laser pointer and is accompanied by a pair of safety goggles. The blue laser bean emitted by Spyder 3 Arctic Pro is 2000 times brighter that the current best portable laser.

Though burning an object may seem like a fun, but it would be a tragedy if something on the other side is your best pal and you just pass your blue laser through him or her. These kinds of devices are best with the military and can even be used to blow away asteroids falling on us from sky!

If you want to buy Arctic on internet, you should do some research to find if the applications for which you would like to use it really need such a powerful laser beam and the time frame of the shipment. If you want, you can scan through tons of videos and review online which display the functions and capabilities of Arctic Spyder 3. You can get this laser from only two online sources. In conclusion, this gadget is really cool and has the capability to open up many things when put to some nice

How They Work

The construction of a lightsaber is a Jedi art passed down primarily by word-of-mouth from a Jedi master to his young Padawan learner. The on/off switch, also known as the activation matrix, as well as the blade length and power adjustment controls are typically located near the cycling field energizers.

Build Your Own Lightsaber

If your feeling handy, you can create your own lightsaber that actually does have some power to it.  Its not going to be comparable to the Spyder III Arctic or The E3 Series, but it will get the job done.

Making something yourself can make it more enjoyable. This is certainly the case for what can be used as a type of lightsaber. The glowing device is sort of a modern day version of the sword with a little more pizazz. Making one yourself is not as complicated as it may sound. You can even do it without help of The Force.

Items needed are typically found around the house or with a trip to any hardware store. It should take about an hour to construct your laser-inspired creation. After that what you do with it is only limited by your imagination. Costs involved are reasonable and no more expensive than most store-bought counterparts. You can probably accomplish the task yourself or make it a group effort with friends. Here are a few examples of how to make your own version of a tricked out laser sword.

You will need:

• Plumbing pipes (chrome) – Length depends on the type of lightsaber you want to make
• O-rings – This will help you get a better Jedi grip
• Rubber gaskets used for garbage disposals
• Automotive weather-sealing
• Rubber anti-slip pad
• D-ring or substitute ring and nut
• Magnetic tape
• Adhesive
• Gloves
• X-acto knife
• Calculator bubble-strip for light source

Slide the rings onto the pipe. Screw the connector pipe to form the handle. Arrange the O-rings for a comfortable grip. Cut rubber handle strips to the length you want placed evenly along the pipe. Put on decorative flares (using magnetic tape) and the calculator bubble strips. Add the end strip to the top part of the handle. Screw on the end cap. Secure the belt hook to stopper. A chain of LED lights can be used to put the light in your lightsaber.

Here’s another way to put together a lightsaber:

Blade

• Duct tape
• 22 gauge solid wires
• Polycarbonate tube (diameter at 0.75 inches)
• 25-35 LED lights (single color)

Handle

• PVC (1.25 inch diameter or larger)
• Battery Pack
• On/Off button
• Small motor

Tools: Drill, Soldering setup, Hack-saw, PVC cutter

Measure the PVC to the length you want and cut. Drill a hole to put the switch into and affix it and cut a slot for the battery pack. Cut the blade to the desired length. Mark 0.25 inches from top of the other end of the blade and then wrap duct tape around this point. Strip the insulation off of 2 wires; attach the positive end of the LED to the top of one wire. Attach the LEDs down length of shaft using the same process. Make sure the negative and positive sides do not touch. Place the LEDs in the blade and then attach them to the bottom.

Use a soldering setup to properly attach the switch, LED wires and leads. Attach the blade and handle so that the LED wire sticks out of handle. Solder leads across the battery pack with the switch located in between. Solder the wires of the motor to the battery pack and insert the entire setup into the handle.
