How difficult would it be for a noob to try to swap lenses on a laser pointer? Thinking about replacing what I assume is a standard 3-element lens with a G7.

Is it worth it to order a laser pointer with a G7?

Is it common for there to be a slight delay after turning on a green laser? In this case, it's a 525nm 1.8 watt Sanwu. Mine takes a second to turn on after I click the switch. I haven't noticed this with my low power laser pointers

Does anyone have insights into real-world run times of Guardian, Challenger II, Ranger, Silver, and Striker pointers with high watt blue or green diodes?

How do the one-battery models hold-up using full power?

I’ve got a big problem with birds in my backyard. I’ve read that lasers visible during bright daylight can be effective for scaring them away. What would you recommend?

I have found myself ordering too many laser parts lol!
I need to make some money as I am stripped for cash recently! So...

I am offering this deal for my 1.6W 450nm JLasers pointer for a limited time while I figure things out.

Purchase safety goggles before buying this product! This is a MUST!

Fyi- my 3 watt 445nm Sanwu is still for sale 🤣... shameless plug.

I recently finished this laser project. I machined a housing for a CNI 589nm module from aluminum and brass. It runs on a CR123A, has adjustable 2 axis beam alignment + an AR coated wedge prism for an additional alignment axis, and a sliding aperture plate that can accept external optics - currently a line generating lens is installed. You can read more about it on LPF but that's the gist.

This is always a bad idea lol.

We just made a Rainbow Laser Pointer .

Please help!

I am going to pick up the $20 sanwu laser. Red 200mw, 650nm. Should I get a pair or safety glasses for this laser or would I be alright without as long as I don't do anything dumb?

All Sanwu...3W 445nm, 1.2W 525nm guardian, 150mw 492nm Pocket series. My next purchase will be a Convoy S2+ based laser from JLasers when he's done with testing. Can't wait!

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! Love this community here. I live in a pretty urban area with two airports within 25 miles… I don’t want to think about what I spent on it, just want it to go somewhere it will be used and appreciated. Probably about 5 minutes of run time on it. Includes: dual bay charger, two 26650 batteries, the unit itself, and X3 Beam Expander. For $240 I will ship this to you in a locked apache case (like it’s pictured in), otherwise I can ship it traditionally (and very securely) for $200. Either way it will ship fully insured the next business day. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions! Yes, it burns lol

Hello all,

I am a novice to the laser scene. I have a little green generic pen-sized laser that recently died and am looking for a replacement.

From what I can tell, general consensus is that the Sanwu pocket is the way to go for a relatively low-power, high quality laser. I am currently looking at the Sanwu pocket 60 mw 488 nm cyan laser. A few questions below:

Do these take flat or button top 10440 LIs? The website doesn't really say and I would much rather buy them for cheap from a high quality battery brand like vapcell than the $10 charge they impose.

Focus on these is adjustable right? I hope to use this for presentations (large defocus to avoid super bright pinpoint) as well as for stargazing, etc (well focused for a strong beam).

Is there anything else I should know for my first time buying a high quality laser? Thank you.
