    Recommended 5W+ 445nm laser?

    Hello everyone! I'm thinking of buying a Sanwu Silver 5W 445nm laser; however, before I pull the trigger, I was wondering if I may be overlooking any better options? In particular, I would prefer a 7W+ laser, but only if the host is relatively small (no larger than the Silver, so this rules out...

    Sanwu Pocket: How to fix rattling/loose rear clickly switch

    I just received my first-ever Sanwu laser: a 500mW 445nm Pocket. It's AWESOME and I love it. I just wondered if there's a way to fix two small things: 1.

    How to fix beam alignment?

    I just received an O-Like "Crown 500mW" green laser and noticed that the beam is off axis somewhat. Is there a way to repair the laser so that the beam is perfectly aligned with the axis of the laser? Would this involved re-aligning the diode? I really want to fix this because it drives me nuts...

    Lucky my laser didn't explode in my pocket

    Lucky my laser didn’t explode in my pocket last night. Hmmmm...interesting yet alarming event last night. I was visiting a friend at his house, laying back on his couch with a blanket over me. My 400mW green laser and a flashlight were both stashed in my front left jean’s pocket. I was vaguely...

    Good tube-shaped cases for lasers?

    Looking for good, hard sided, tube-shaped cases for EDCing my various lasers. My preferences: - Thick plastic or aluminum - Not heavy or bulky (hopefully not much larger than laser being carried) - Bonus if it's waterproof and/or padded inside Thanks.
