Hello, I am currently studying in Taiwan!

I bought a couple of green lasers almost a decade ago in Indonesia (including the infamous 303 greenie) during junior high school.

It surprises me that so many colors have popped up within less than 10 years! I really want either the 488nm or 592nm sanwu pocket (still can't decide which one, any suggeestions? :D).

I will be sourcing the batteries and charger locally (would be getting 10440 soshine with nitecore i2 charger), and the safety glasses too. They're only $12 and supposedly blocks 200nm-540nm light (no OD mention though).

Being a laser noob I made sure that I read a lot about laser safety, both back then and now before actually buying my sanwu pocket.
 





Hello bulukaki and welcome to LPF

The 488 is a unique wavelength, the way we perceive it can change depending on background and surrounding light.

592nm ? I have not seen this offered for sale........OK you meant 492nm, the diodes vary but I like the 488 better, 488 leans more towards that argon blue would love to have in a hand held.

From what I read this diode is discontinued so you may want to grab a few.

Whoops, yep I meant 492:LOL:
Is it the 488 that is discontinued? It seems that many members here like the 488 color better.
 
Hi ,
Welcome to LPF,
The 488 is a wonderful WL I have this 495nm build that did myself when these 495's were available. Still have some in stock , glad I bought many.
