Ill probably leave mine as it is then for now, I thought that 200mW+ would be easy now that so much has changed. It's supposedly a 150mW module. I got from Nextbox? I think? A long time ago that's for sure. I had started my build out with a 100mW o-like module, and I fried it out because I...

Craziness..... A 470 range blue would be nice to have as well. Gotta have all shades. Lol I know it's not really related to the topic, but where is a good place to buy green laser modules now? Like the traditional DPSS? I was thinking about buying a higher power module for my old green build...

Darnit.... I will try and email them the discount code. Thanks! Oh man, I know. My wife will kill me, that's the only thing keeping hold on my wallet. Seriously when I "left" for a while, NONE of these wavelengths were available like this. We had regular green (DPSS modules only), violet, IR...

Well, I couldn't take it anymore lol... I just ordered a Sanwu Challenger II, (492nm 100mW), with the G7 lens. I hope that they send the standard (included lens as well). I left additional notes to please include if possible. That way I have the two lenses to decide what I like better. Now I...

Thanks for the link, What lens do you have on your 490?

Hmm, I wonder how their (sanwu) lenses compare. They only offer "G2" and "G7" whatever that means. I really don't want a square artifact. I can live with some artifacts, or not a perfect dot (my 445nm oblong doesn't bother me). But I don't want that big square artifact lol. I'm concerned with...

Ok thanks, I'll try and email them Another question for you all, They offer two different lenses. G2 and G7. It says that the G7 is recommended, but that's a generic note for all their wavelengths. Which lens produces better results on these sharp diodes?

Very strange.... It just started working. I'm not even sure what happened. I was using it literally moments before I knocked it off of the table. And then it wasn't working. I first checked the spring in the tail clicker. Then I noticed the "pill" was a little loose, so I completely removed it...

Hey all, Crazy coincidence that I come back to these forums after years of being inactive hoping to buy a new wavelength laser that I don't currently have.... And then I drop my 445nm laser that I built and had for years. It fell from my computer desk to the hardwood floor. Not a high drop...

So, since these diodes tend to vary per individual diode. Does anybody know if Sanwu actually tests them? Or do they just use one of these diodes and label it 488nm? I'm just curious if it's possible that their "492nm @ 100mW" and their "488nm at 55mW" is tested anyways. So let's say, is it...

You guys are awesome! Thanks for the quick responses. I really like the more cyan tint that the 492+ puts out in these pictures. I actually think that I would prefer the more cyan color over a light blue. Is 55mW (give or take) enough to see a good beam at 488nm? I have never had anything...

Hey All, It's been a while since I've posted on these forums. I've been inactive for a little. (Couple of years) Still enjoying the lasers that I have had all the time. I just got to a point in life where other things took financial priority. (You know, Marriage, house, etc etc lol) I "left"...

Wow, I LOVE this. Something about this host just draws me in. I normally wouldn't like the color white for a host. But the nice minimal design, and the shiny white really really goes good with that blue. WANT.

Well for the much higher cost of these known varianced projectors, We most likely will not be able to afford anything close to 1W. Since ill still have to get a controller and software too. I really like this one X-Laser : CALIENTE. Which I could get for just under $500.... my question is, is...

Oh, ok. Thanks a lot. Ill keep looking then. Like I said, im new to scanners, its something I have always wanted just for myself, and now that my brother wants one for his DJ'ing. I have finally started to research it. Any good companies to look out for? I find it hard to search these things...
