My guess is that it's the normal 445 diode we use... and they are just overdriving it. May peak at 2W, but may quickly drop to 1.5-1.8W? That's my guess. With the G2's we can get 445s that high easily.

We had a Chinese laser company rep come on here and say that these diodes cannot be pushed over 1W. We replied saying many people have, and gave proof. Now you are starting to see 2W lasers in the market, LOL. We should have shut our mouths. :undecided:

It might be capable of some higher power, but it is listed as a pen. That price would be on the high side for a pen, if it isn't a high power device. If it's legit then.........
