When Wicked Lasers sent us their Wicked Lasers Advance Phoenix 75mW to review last year, I wondered why I needed such a powerful laser pointer. After fiddling with it, I still don’t see why I needed one. But, boy was it fun! I don’t need one, but I sure want one.

This year, Wicked Lasers introduced their new Evolution series of green laser pointer. And fortunately for us, Wicked Lasers has sent us a unit to review again! This time, a Wicked Lasers Evo 95mW.

The Looks

In my opinion, the new design looks way better than the previous. It has sleekness written all over it. The silver gives it a touch of class which the previous design lacks, and the construction feels solid. The ‘ON’ button has a solid click to it too.

In Action

You gotta see it to believe it. I’m not sure about you, but pointing the laser pointer into the sky for the first time was quite a breathtaking experience. The beam shines so high up into the sky that it seems almost endless.

But other than the ability to point at faraway objects, it is also possible for it to “burn” certain dark-colored objects. Don’t expect to light up buildings and burn people though. Here’s a video of it in action.

Price

The price tag can be considered a little hefty. But if you really need something for pointing out distant objects, or a great way to impress your friends, you can’t go wrong with these military grade lasers.

Evo 15mW: US$149.99
Evo 35mW: US$199.99
Evo 55mW: US$249.99
Evo 75mW: US$299.99
Evo 95mW: US$399.99
Evo 125mW: US$549.99

Conclusion

The idea of a powerful laser packed in a tiny package sounds sweet to most. And after using one, I must say it is indeed a great thing to own. Not something that you’ll need or use daily, but definitely something cool to have.

Remember not to point these lasers in anyone’s (or any pets’) eyes! The amount of power could easily cause permanent damage to the eyes.
