Greetings

[Domenl]

So I finaly decided to join the forum (have been lurking for the last few months...). Lasers have always fascinated me and I had some cheap Ebay & Co. red and green lasers, but only recently, after seeing a video on yotube, my interest was reignited.

Last month I ordered the Sanwu Pocket 405nm 250mW and must say that I am in love with the build, color and power. At night the beam is really nice, and the flourscent effect it has on some materials is also interesting.

I am currently planning my first build, most likely a 455nm.

A lot of knowledgeable members here.
I hope that you have also purchased an appropriate
pair of Laser Safety Goggles/Glasses.

Thanks for the welcomes to both of you. I currently have the googles that sanwu offers on their site, but will be looking to invest in some Eagle Pair googles in the near future.

Welcome to the forum, we're glad to have you here! Sanwu products are definitely excellent; you made a good choice in buying one.
Just out of curiosity, which video was it that got you back into lasers? Was it one of mine?!

Thanks Sta, sadly it was not one of yours, but this one.
