anyone know's about this site ?
Laser, red laser, green laser, violet laser, laser diode :undecided:

Well the URL in the logo on top of the page gives me major eyecancer.
Mostly overpriced stuff, especially in the 445 section...
Looks like it's a "dude in his garage" kinda operation.

Yes. I know about them.

Let me sum it up:

-3+ month wait after ordering, never heard a word.
-Unanswered emails.
-When the lasers arrived they were horribly misaligned, I had to realign them myself.
-One of them claims to have a 200mW red module; metering it gives me 3mW. (this is the 'magenta'.)

Good in theory, but basically all they did was provide me with a place to start from, after much difficulty.

I've got at least two friends who placed orders with them who had the exact same experiences. One had to send back a 650/405 unit 3 times, and just finally gave up and resorteed to fixing it himself.

I know nobody else is really selling ready-made mixed color lasers, but really, don't give into the temptation to order from them unless:

-you're prepared for a several month wait,
-you're prepared to realign the units yourself (and every time you use them...)
-you're not worried about customer service or responses,
-you're willing to pay a lot of money for essentially a case and some dichros and some off spec lasers.

I made this mistake early on, before I got to LPF. Hopefully, you won't have to. I'd review them, but it'd make it look like a trash piece. I don't think I could be neutral after my experience with Sunclan.
