Thanks. I'm glad I found this forum, otherwise I could've gotten too much power without realizing just how much damage it could've caused.

Alright, I'll take your advice into consideration. I'm probably going to start with 800mW or lower to start off. I might get a 1W, but from the things that I've read on this thread, I'm nowhere near prepared for a laser more powerful than 1W. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. I have...

Re: Proper 16340 Batteries for my 445nm 4W Laser My age would be considered irrelevant if I know what I'm doing, wouldn't you think? I'm over the age of 21, so I'm not a minor who's stupid enough to get hurt by toying with powerful equipment in an inappropriate manner.

I have no intention of misusing the laser by any means. I'm not an idiot. I planned on reading safety precautions to take in order to keep safe, as well as preventing any possible ways for other people to get a hold of the laser.

Re: Proper 16340 Batteries for my 445nm 4W Laser Thank you. The price is actually really nice. $360 approximately for the laser with the highest upgrades as well as safety goggles. Now all I need to do is buy a tripod and make a setup so I can have some fun and see what it can burn through.

Re: Proper 16340 Batteries for my 445nm 4W Laser Alright, thank you. How fast is the expedited shipping, exactly? Anywhere from 2-5 business days or sooner than that?

Re: Proper 16340 Batteries for my 445nm 4W Laser Thanks. I'm definitely going to look into Sanwu though. Do you know who they ship with? USPS, FedEx, or UPS?

Re: Proper 16340 Batteries for my 445nm 4W Laser Thanks! And the prices look really nice for these lasers. I'm glad you told me about Sanwu. Thank you. But let's say I want a lab-grade laser that reaches 20W or more, where would I go to get one of those?

Should I go with multi or single mode?

I'm looking at their website but it doesn't say which pointer is 5W. Are they all 5W on their website? If so, which would be the best choice for a good quality one?

I'm living in the United States. I'm looking for the most powerful laser that I'm legally allowed to own with good quality and good reviews. I know that you can't have over 5mW, so I'm just looking for a laser of good quality that won't break easily. I looked at some reviews about WickedLasers...
