HIya; Sanwu is very good at getting back to you. They will surely offer for you to send it back postage paid(you have 30 days to send back postage paid) or offer a refund. I'm waiting for a 7w striker but they have kept me updated every step of the way. Best of luck friend and don't worry...

For ease of build I took your advice and ordered survival lasers S4X host since it takes two 18650 batteries not one as the original s4 host does(there is an adapter to extend the host for two 18650s). Now I had already ordered their 20mm adapter for the original s4 host so they got back to me...

Hiya; Thank you for the concern but I have truly checked. You can own and operate any watt laser in the US. What is illegal is of course pointing it at aircraft, people, pets, property etc. You can buy insanely powerful lasers for CNC machines as well from US distributers you only have to be...

Hiya! Yes I have Eagle's 190nm to 540 nm goggles rated for 6od. Thank you for this recommendation. Now I have grown impatient on waiting on my 7w from Sanwu held up by the China protests etc. I have not requested a refund as of yet, if it shows up it shows up. I have since begun a high end...

Hiya! Many thanks, just ordered his 20 mm adapter so the front of the laser will be a piece of cake. I can still make the host from that back or maybe I'll go with a pre-made host since it seems really plug(solder) and play but still got my heart on making a unique host otherwise.

Hiya Freinds! So here starts my first high end build, please bare with me, all help is greatly appreciated, I do NOT want to screw this up. This is what I've pulled the trigger on so far. Ordering from DTR's Laser Shop I opted for the NUBMM-V2 450nm 7W Diode in the 20mm Copper Module Case with...

Many thanks, checked out DTRs website. The diodes are available with the drivers in a variety of copper diameter and with g2 and g8 lenses...takes the worry out of mating the right componants for a nooblie like me. Seriously thinking of ordering the nubmm v2 in 25 mm copper with g8 lense w/...

Hiya dumb question, 7w nubm44 original or v2 what is the best driver for this diode? The original cost 80 dollars the v2s 100 usd to 120 new, don't want to risk using wrong driver etc. Anyone want to share the best setup overall for this. Anyone try to install a nubm44 in a sanwu striker using...

Update, Sanwu metered the actual striker 7w 445 they were going to send and only got a max output of 5.6w...their standard is at least 6.2w with the multimode 7w. They said they are fixing it. I've offered to pay more to get near 6.5w if a new diode is required. They have very quick and nice...

Apologies Apologies to this forum, I will keep posts for 1 year or newer. I've been a member of numerous other forums including political ones and have never once offended anyone or been booted but I guess laser hobbyists are really sensitive. But for real, sincere apologies friend, I just...

Yes that is what sanwu tells me but on a YouTube review it was stated the multimode produced about .5-1W less but sanwu stakes the two models again use the same diodes and in full power mode is 7w guaranteed. Now dirty lenses, number of lenses, power charge of battery etc all add up to power...

Hiya everyone a long time ago I built a Helium Neon 5mw laser in 7th grade. Cost over 500 dollars of my hard earned farm money(that was the early 90s). Well fast forward many years and I out of the blue searched for lasers on YouTube of course and was absolutely blown away by the power of modern...

Hiya, this is probably a dumb question. Do you have access to a laser meter? You could simply test to see if the output is around or above 7w. I built a 5W using a diode capable or 5.5w but only get 3.5w due to the driver or powersupply. A 5W laser may have a diode capable of 7w but simply...

Hiya friend. Yeah I have 190-540 nm goggles. The eagle brand...paid 50usd for them and tested them with my meter with a 1w445, 1.2w445, and a 5w (actually reads 3.5w)445 on my meter. Ordered them from survivallasers. Thanks again tho...don't want to lose my eyes to a hobby!

Im truly not worried at all...100% excited about receiving it! Many thanks for the reply friend.

I was going to say, if you can shoot a fly out of the air with a laser you are a master laser wielder. But yeah...kinda borderline sociopath if you like killing insects with lasers...

Very sorry for that damage freind. Sadly fools like the one who shot you is why high powered lasers may become a thing of the past soon. There is significant legislation trying to be passed on both the state and federal level in the usa. Importation from China is a whole other issue currently on...

I checked the YouTube video, now that's a proper beast! Also your homemade photos are great, beautiful hosts! Ive turned my own hosts for a 1.2 and 5W blue445. I was a machinist for 12 years, hosts are apprentice level work very easy. I did mine free hand no cnc. I used 7071 aluminum non...

Update, striker 7w 445 on its way but they could only send the multimode. Anyone on here experienced with the maximum output of the mulitmode? I posted on here in more detail about this...very excited and will let everyone know how it goes! Thanks guys!
