Hello!

[Pangur]

New member here, from Pennsylvania. I've been interested in lasers for a long while now (always found them cool when I was really young, etc.) but have only had the usual cheap toy lasers, <5mw and all that. I came across this forum when looking for my first "serious" laser to purchase, and decided to register!

I have that first serious laser on the way now in the form of a Sanwu Pocket, 445nm 500mw... And just as importantly, my first safety glasses. I look forward to receiving it (as well as others in the future, hopefully) and learning more as I go along!

Hello Pangur, welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy this forum and your new 455nm 500mW laser of course! Share some pictures of the laser when you receive it!

Hello. When you get your laser post some pics I'd love to see it.

Absolutely, I plan to! Will post a little review of it, though probably nothing too exciting or in depth because I'm fairly inexperienced.

Welcome to LPF!

I think you meant 445nm on the laser, I've got the same one and you'll be quite surprised on how small it is. You won't be disappointed though, quite a bit of lasing power for such a small item!

...Whoops, yeah, finger slipped on the "455 nm" up there. I did indeed mean 445nm!
