Hi everyone,
Heres a little review of the recent addition to Sanwu's products. The 488nm pocket.
Order: Sanwu 488nm Pocket with G7 lens (nm measured)
Ordered 3/4, Arrived 23/4. 20 days, a few of those spent in customs
Paid: $85usd, $10 for the G7 lens and $5 for postage. $100usd total :beer:
Quality: Amazing machining on the S/S host, sections screw together firmly and are seamless. Press "fire" button is great, feels solid and has a loud click.
Diode: Uses the new Sharp GH04850B2G diode, and has SB308B292 printed around the diodes window.
Color: No hint of green in the color at all, id say its definately 488nm, baby sky blue.
Output: Raw output matches closely with Sharps other recent releases, i would say a "rough" output profile, with the typical box artifacts going on, bright outside ring lines. Not smooth and round like the PLT5-488 diode. Also the focused output through the 3E lens appeares to be slightly tilted. Maybe to reduce risk of back reflection? only noticeable when you defocus the output, it turns from a round dot to slightly oval shape.
Power: 60.8mW. My laser came with a 3 element lens fitted, and the G7 in a plastic bag. Im having trouble removing the 3 element, so until i figure out how without scratching it, i only have the LPM measurement with the 3E. Still cool to the touch with a 30sec on test
Critic: The threading in this host was quite dirty, i gave it a wipe over. The lens knob at the front of the housing wobbles abit when its slightly unscrewed.
Im using a Efest IMR10440 3.7v 350mah battery. It fits no problem.
And a few pictures :beer:
Thanks Sanwu for a great product, and a pleasent purchase! :beer: :drool:
