The Krypton is DPSS green vs a 445 blue diode for the Arctic. Much more complex… (harder to build)

Requested page could not be found, (so still don't know.)

 

Edit by Jay: I fixed the link. It worked before, but for some reason stopped working?? Not sure why, but it is not working again...

Hello. The reason why the Krypton is more expensive than the Arctic is because green lasers are much harder to build and are also much more complex than regular blue lasers. Green lasers are also 20 times brighter to the human eye than blue lasers.
