After ordering a 80mW 532nm from Sanwu. I wanted to see about ordering another laser from them
I look at the site from my phone and they are selling a 50mW pointer and a 100mW pointer! the 80mW isn't even listed.
Are they in the process of modifying their website to sell slightly more powerful...
Expanding on that point.
It sounds like fasttech is only good for lasers <$20
I just ordered the 80mW from Sanwu with the lens cap shipped for $29. I wish I knew they had a rep on the forms!!!
Alright,
So I keep hearing about talk about fasttech so I finally took a look for myself.
I was planning on getting a 1W 445 from blord but I decided to check around first.

And then there's this...
Thank you both for clearing that up for me.
I forgot to mention that I recently moved to the high desert (Reno nevada) so it gets pretty cold here.
Perhaps a diode would withstand the cold better than a DPSS..
Ok, is that mostly because of the lens ? G2 vs multi mode?
I only used that LINK as a reference because in the description of the laser he explains that 520 diode has less divergence than a 523 DPSS.
My question is concerning laserBTB is it worth spending the extra money for a 520nm?
I...
Hold up,
According to bitlasers ( 800mW Forest Green 520nm Handheld ) 520 diodes have less divergence..
I am confused.
EDIT:
I would like someone to explain this to me as I am about to purchase a PL from laserBTB
I'm either getting a 520nm 120mW for $170
Or
532nm 100mW for $132
I've been away for about a year, but I am back and I'm looking to jump right back in!
So either Friday or the 8th of august I will be buying
This
$229 for a 300mW 532nm laserbtb
However I noticed we now have a 520 diode available!
According to this 532 is brighter. So I thought I would post...
Thank you !
This will be extremely useful.
I don't remember 532 being 10x brighter, I thought it was 5x
Beam: (532nm 100mw) vs. (445nm 1000mw)
I'll have to take another at some perceived brightness charts.
Yes! That's the calculator, that sucks that it was taken offline.
Thanks for the help.
I remember there was a website that had the source material used to create the calculator, unfortunately the only way I remember to access it 'was' through a link on that website... *sigh*
Hey,
So I remember this online tool, or calculator which let you type your wavelength and mW(attage) to compare the visible density (brightness/perception to the human eye)
I've been searching google and the forums for over 20 minutes now and I can't find it, does anyone remember this tool ...
Laserbtb won't "FDA approve" anything over 500mW for 532nm.
If I must, I will wait until another group buy and just get a 500mW :/
There doesn't seem to be a problem getting those.
This will also save me lots of time! Because typically people will buy extra on GBs-
Who will in tern sell them...
