Hey guys just signed up just trying to get into the laser groupies

[Tjfrost]

I'm not trying to say my laser is bigger than yours but I just purchased a samwu 520nm green 1w striker series not sure how long it's going to take but my last laser was the Arctic wicked laser and it was bomb so going for green now since I'm living in the mountains and want the people up here to call me the laser guy I'll be so famous I'm sure of it. Do I have to turn off the samwu 1 watt every 1 minute so I don't burn out the diode? Or is that just for the 7 watt 440nm blue?

Podo on this forum is our go-to-guy about Sanwu stuff as he works for them. Otherwise, they've got a pretty responsive support chat over on Facebook.

Please change your avatar-may be proper at Fbook Or twitter but here.. kinda makes you look..silly. (and a bit creepy)
...on second thought.. keep that avatar--it suits you.

and please tell us about your eye protection-- what is printed on the frames..
we may not be very helpful if you are not bring safe.


As long as you are in control--your eyes are not in danger..

What's your eye protection-IE what make and specification? The cheapie ebay one won't save your vision from a 1W laser-if you have not already look for an Eagle Pair https://www.survivallaser.com/Eagle...ard_Laser_Safety_Goggles/p556088_2780808.aspx
