lol, that's why we have the forum. Most people don't say ideas before they do them Podo sells great lasers, still love my mini 520, awesome customer service!

Hi Trussmonkey25
I just got mine today. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what the little tag thing was that came with it. I looked over your photos again, and discovered it is a tiny USB light.
Wow. It is bright
I have a Guardian coming in a couple days. I'll write a combo review then.
Nice job on your photos. Burns like crazy

I just got a replacement module since the first one burned out. I put that puppy in, made a few adjustments, cleaned the lens. I fired it on a red match 30' away and it lit right up. The dot was focused to a 4 mm spot. Very clean too

Which Sanwu laser did you get in 405 1watt? the challenger?. The photos look like the Silver but on their website their is no option for 405 on Silver drop down list

If you don't see something on their site, you can always contact Podo directly. He has done custom orders for people on multiple occasions. I wanted a 405 in Challenger 2 host but they did not offer it at the time but he ended up making one for me.

Also regarding a 1W 405, here's from Sanwus BST thread:

It's possible to push the 405nm diodes to 900mw but by doing that will shorten the diode's life expectancy and increase the chance of "sudden death" so we lowered the output for all the 405nm units.

If you really want a 900mw+ 405nm, you could pm me for it.
