In Use
I have tested and played with several Wicked Laser products over the years and found them to be fun devices. The Sonar II is the first laser with a blue beam that I have tested. The diode of the laser is a real Sony Blu-ray burner unit that you would find inside a Blu-ray player from Sony.

There are many uses for a laser pointer from presentations in the business world to fun time burning things and popping balloons. The Wicked Lasers Sonar II isn't the best choice for burning or popping, you really want something with more power for the best results there. There is no denying that the bright blue beam is very cool to look at.

The blue pointer dot from the beam is visible easily up close and at distances in the day. The laser beam itself can only been seen in dark conditions. At night, the Wicked Lasers Sonar II makes for a good method of pointing out stars, planets and other objects in the night sky.

The three CR123 batteries the device runs on aren’t cheap, it cost me about $20 for the batteries, and at 60 minutes of use, you may need lots of them. The laser beam can be magnified with accessories if you want to burn or melt things.

Visually, the Wicked Lasers Sonar II is really cool looking. The aluminum body is painted a glossy white with the Blu-ray logo and Wicked Laser logo printed on it in silver. The body is well built and the on/off switch is a button that you press and hold down for activation. The button itself is made from metal for long life. The beam is powerful enough to cause eye damage, so when playing with the laser you need eye protection. The biggest drawback of the Wicked Lasers Sonar II is the price. With Blu-ray players, still hovering at $300 or more the laser diode itself is not cheap. The Wicked Lasers Sonar II retails for $1999.
