Yeah I agree, I was still learning how to use that powerful beast and was a little concerned it would have burned through quicker and exploded in my face. So I forgot about trying to get that focal point just right and just backed up and waited for something to happen.
I will make a 7.5 watt Sanwu on one of my profiles (waiting for the order) ... and I have ordered a G2 lens for it. I think you can have fun with burning! I will also make a video with it. I think it will be very strong.
I've been researching since then, and the G2 is unfortunately only effective up to half a meter. But I found the best choice: I need a G8 lens. It's the best for Striker ... because it retains 90% energy. A few months and it will be. I recommend it to you too. They also advertise on Ebay that it is the dream lens for the NUBM44-V2. So I don't even mind that I ordered 2 G2 lenses, because the G8 will be the best for shooting from a distance.
Yes I didn't realize it had such a short duty cycle. Thank you for the heads up. I have run it for 2 sometimes 3 minutes straight and although it does get warm I've never had it overheat. It has oversized heat sync fins that seemes to do a relatively good job dispersing the heat.
@@LaserGary69 I’ve heard you can get away with running it a little longer on cold days but I have heard of someone who broke his running it to long. I’d play it safe. Really cool laser though. Sanwu, makes good quality stuff and is a reputable company. Deft need eye google with this powerhouse at all times. Just looking at the dot on something could cause eye damage
@@timscoviac I think you're right and it shows how little I actually know about lasers. It's a miracle I build that single 8 watt and double 16 watt laser rifles you see on my channel. LOL
Mine won't really work. Even with full charged batteries. It stutters and is no longer I bright Seeable beam anymore. It's weak and won't burn anymore, and idk how to fix it. I have that same lazer pointer
They may have sold you a defective laser, and I would contact them. Not sure how long you had it, but they do have a warranty for like 6 months or something.
@@jaydenrookwood1403 it has a duty cycle on this laser because of how powerful it is. It heats up fast. The company says your only supposed to run it for 60 seconds on full power and then off for 60 seconds or more wouldn’t hurt. Lasers that are 1-2 watt or so can be run as long as you want but this one it will ruin it
Sorry for a late response for some reason I'm just now seeing these comments.. I didn't realize there was a limit on the duty cycle and I have had no issues whatsoever leaving the laser on for 2 sometimes 3 minutes straight.. I guess I'm gonna need to be a little more careful because this is a really expensive laser to burn up. Thanks for the heads up.
Have to prepare you, they're not cheap. As they say, you get what you pay for. Probably the highest quality laser you will ever see on the market. You'll be shocked just how heavy it is. You can even go more powerful to they're 7.5 watt Striker. I just purchased today the beam expander which will increase the power and viewing distance on my blue and green Striker. Video demos to come. www.sanwulasers.com/product/striker
Yeah I expected a lot more to happen than what it did. I thought for sure the vapors would have ignited but apparently a laser will not ignite vapors. It has to have a combustible surface to start the spark or get a flame going to ignite the vapors.
