Wicked Lasers Produces Handheld Beamer That Stretches 85 Miles
Wicked Lasers has just introduced the new S3 Krypton, which is waiting on a Guinness Record and can reportedly produce around 86 million lux. That means it's bright enough to be seen from 85 miles away, or beyond the edge of our atmosphere. Yes, seriously! This is the laser you need for that upcoming trip to Vegas! Considering that this beast is 8000x brighter than our perceived notion of the Sun, you'll need to take advantage of the safety goggles that are bundled with the purchase.
