Wicked Lasers Elite
This is the outcome of a hands-on review of the new elite series wicked laser, WOW, that is the first thing I thought, I was told the laser was not for a class lecture and was for pointing out the stars.

I really didn’t believe the information about the laser I must say; upon receiving a laser I was gob-smacked the moment I pointed it up to the stars, I was amazed; the pointer actually did point out the stars.

After that little test I read a little bit of the user manual and it said “this laser will burn” so as you can imagine I had to try it!

I tried the laser on a black bin bag first (it burnt through it in about 3 seconds) this just proved to me that this laser was dangerous, my face lit up as I thought I could burn things, so I tried to burn my hand to know success.

After another look in the manual I noticed the green laser only burnt black coloured things, so to this note I tried it on my black tattoos, god it hurt, my friend just laughed at me, he really didn’t believe it hurt (although I do not recommend trying this yourself)

We then moved on to burning items of clothing, this all may sound silly and childish but people must know the safety aspects of the laser. We then realised our eyes started to hurt, hence the reason they sent us some laser safe glasses (ALWAYS WEAR THE SAFETY GOGGLES)
