    Sanwu Laser 304 405nm

    YEa I got a red and a green and am really happy with both. You can purchase both and both pair of glasses for under 60 bucks delivered. Good value for a 100 and 200mw cheapo laser.

    Sanwu Siver switch problems

    Oh, OK, so probably the Silver 445 is a direct diode laser since the batteries are positive forward. Again, thanks so much for helping a dummy out. Eventually the info will sink in there and the bug-a-boo will be trying to retrieve it! LOL

    Sanwu Siver switch problems

    hey, thanks for the info Diachi and GSS. Are you saying that the green one will probably get hotter than the red one because the case ends up negative? I don't really understand DC current that much. It would seem like the module would get hot no matter which end of the battery was facing. So...

    Sanwu Siver switch problems

    Update: I received the metal button for the tailcap put it in and it seems ok. The green and red laser 303's are also working. The green laser takes the battery positive side towards the tailcap and the red laser takes the battery positive side towards the module end. Both 303's but quite...

    Sanwu Siver switch problems

    Its a blue and it seems pretty bright for less than 5mw.

    Sanwu Siver switch problems

    0 to 5mw. It looks a lot brighter than that. I would guess that it is more like 100 to 200 mw. When I get the new ones in I will compare it to them and maybe take pictures and post them here. Thanks Podo for everything and for sending a new tailcap.

    Sanwu Siver switch problems

    Got the new cheap ones- a 100mw green and a 200mw red and of course glasses to go with. Mostly for pointing but the red lights cigarettes so maybe it might light a match,pop a balloon or burn through paper. Anyway I'll have three colors to light up the night sky. Why didn't you guys tell me once...

    Sanwu Siver switch problems

    Well that's what it was. Locked out. Three times for lockout then five times to unlock. Weird thing is there are no blinks , it just ramps up. I guess my crazy button is messing with the programming. Now I'm curious, what are my two output levels? Is the lower less than one watt? Thanks Podo...

    Sanwu Siver switch problems

    I will give the unlocking a try when I get home. With this being a single mode I didn't know it would have a lockout mode. Encap, what is the best way to bypass for test functions? I don't own a good multi-meter but I do have access to one at work. I just hope that the way this switch is...

    Sanwu Siver switch problems

    Anticipating the parts from Lifetime I decided to go outside and point it at the stars. Now this crazy laser is only operating at a very low level. My batteries are fully charged and I am getting good contact but it just puts out a weak blue stream. I guess I will have to send the Silver back...

    Sanwu Siver switch problems

    Yea me being the only one who is having trouble with the switch is why I wasn't pushing Sanwu for a new one. Thanks Podo for responding. I will email Sanwu about the switch again.

    Sanwu Siver switch problems

    The batteries I have are protected and work fine with the switch the way it came new. However, when I took the rubber peice out I had to use one magnet for it to make contact. When I push the button in it moves over to one side and sometimes gets stuck in that position. I don't know why the...

    Sanwu Siver switch problems

    Actually Francis and Podo told me to tighten the ring down first then later they told me to take the rubber out which I did. Lifetime was nice enough to send me a couple of buttons to try first so when they come I will let you guys know if it works or not. This laser is too awesome to send back...

    Sanwu Siver switch problems

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. I will look into the Survival Laser thing. If not I have a guy out east that I can send it to. This is a brand new unit that I have had for about two weeks. Francis and Podo (maybe the same dude) seem to think I need to purchase a new button. Otherwise this is...

    Sanwu Siver switch problems

    Just got this 445 3w in and I am having trouble with the button. It will push in but it goes in crooked and will not turn off or on at times. I took the switch apart and tried reseating it back down with and without the rubber piece to no avail. There has to be something not moving correctly...

    Sanwu Lasers - Offical thread

    Hey Podo, I just got the silver 3 w 445 and I am having trouble with the switch. I got the single mode switch but I am having trouble turning it off and on. The metal push button doesn't go straight in and it wiggles where the switch won't work. I tried taking it apart and seating it back...
