Thanks to everyone for the suggestions and great information. Cyparagon, that is exactly what I needed to know, so I really appreciate you taking the time to test your laser! I ended up ordering my dad the 50mw 505nm Sanwu Pocket laser. After reading more about the 405nm wavelength, and...

Thanks to everyone who replied! Sanwu replied to my email and offered to reduce the output of the laser as a custom order, which I had heard they might do -- pretty cool of them. They also said it should not cause any harm to the diode to run under-voltage with a AAA. To clarify, my fear with...

Thank you for the reply, Encap. I did send an email to Sanwu customer service asking the same question, but I respect the knowledge on this forum and figured I'd ask here as well to see if anyone had any opinions. I do know that 405nm is much less visible, and I have several 405nm Ebay lasers...

Hey Everyone -- I was wondering if anyone who knows more about the diodes and drivers used in the Sanwu Pocket lasers (specifically the 200mw 405nm model) could tell me whether or not I would damage the diode by running the laser on a 1.5V AAA instead of the prescribed 3.7V 10440 battery. The...

Sorry to resurrect old threads, but the tool has stopped working -- please let me know if there is anything I can do to help get it back up! It was very useful to me, and I miss having it already. Is it the ASP hosting again? Or is it just me that is having this issue? If it is ASP or hosting...

Is there any way to adjust the focus ring on these lasers? Basically I want to make the infinite focus focus to a farther infinity (if that makes any sense haha). It goes wayyyy pas what I need it to do in the other direction, but at infinite focus the divergence is pretty bad by around 30...

Hey everyone finally after a month or more I have received my powerful laser. It is a 750mw HL445nm laser from LaserBtb.com and it is fantastic! I am using two 16340 batteries from AW ICR. I received these batteries around 2 weeks or more ago and haven't charged them because the charger came...

Yeah shower steam is perfect! That would look awesome with the diffraction grating. Multiple beams from quality lasers. Can't beat it haha

Haha yeah alright I think I'm going with UPS first class. I am still unclear on what an ePacket is though lol oh well. I don't think anyone actually knows!

Wow you guys know wayyyy too much about this stuff lol I guess I'd better start learning! There's a lot to catch up on.... And does anyone have experience shipping from Fasttech? I don't know what to choose! I've never seen so many options....and all of these are free! Should I choose USPS...

Yes I know they are haha and if I see a group buy when the time is right, that's definitely what I'll do. Apparently they're very hard to make, but the color is worth it!

Awesome thanks! Gonna be ordering one of those bad boys. And huh I guess I've just never noticed that myself before. That's good info too on the 473s, I never knew exactly why they were so much more expensive but that makes sense. As soon as I get money together again, I may be in the market...

I definitely have a lot of respect for LaserGlow, and CNI for that matter. I figured 473nm was that expensive haha I was hoping maybe you guys had found a reasonable one at a china website somewhere or something! Oh well one day I'll get one. Sounds like you got a great deal Blackwolf! Yeah no...

Yeah in the end I am going to buy a cheap laser like that 5mw on fasttech's site. If you endorse that one, then maybe I will get that. How was shipping and does it have a good beam/low divergence? Also how much did that 473nm you had set you back and where did you get it? That looks great haha

Yeah but if I went with $50 I'd buy from LaserGlow over WickedLasers. Just from what I've heard around the forum, and also because I've always admired LaserGlow (it's like admiring a nice car brand haha). Nice avatar by the way Blackwolf! Haha
