wickedlasers.comThe Spyder III Pro Arctic series laser is so powerful, it can burn skin, as well as cause severe eye damage.
It's not exactly a Jedi lightsaber, but it's pretty darn close.
And it'll cost ya just $200.
The Spyder III Pro Arctic series laser, which comes with the warning that "At close range, this Class 4 beam will cause immediate and irreversible retinal damage," can also potentially burn skin.
"Under no circumstances should they be on sale on the Internet," said John Colton, director of Lucid Optical Services, told Sky News.
Calling the device "horrendously dangerous," the device - which looks similar to the famed laser swords of "Star Wars" - is 1,000-times more powerful than the average laser pointer and could be "deadly," Colton said.
"This laser possesses the most burning capabilities of any portable laser in existence," touts the Web site which sells the device, WickedLasers.com.
"Wicked Lasers recognizes the dangers associated with its mishandling and possible abuse," the site notes. "Laser safety flyers and LaserShades are shipped free together with every Spyder III 445nm Arctic blue laser purchase."
