August 2004 - Introduced the first high powered, green handheld laser
The first green handheld laser was a modified green laser pointer manufactured by Leadlight Taiwan, the first 532nm DPSS green laser pointer manufacturer in history. Power outputs were available from 15mW ($99) to 45mW ($299). Wicked Lasers would later use a higher output pump diode capable of producing an output of 55mW ($399) to 125mW ($699).

June 10, 2010 - The Spyder III Arctic Arrives
The iconic Arctic 1 watt 445nm blue laser ($299) diode was harvested from a Casio laser projector. Equipped with a digital microprocessor, it requires a passcode for laser activation and features 9 function modes. Its immense popularity caused Lucasfilm to file a cease and desist letter over its "lightsaber-like design". As the story went viral, sales skyrocketed but the company was not able to keep up with demand. Many customers faced delays which ranged from 3-6 months before eventually receiving their order. After this debacle, the size of their production facility was upgraded which completely resolved stock issues to date. The Arctic laser was seen from outer space and mounted on a shark.
