Sanwu Guardian 1W Green Laser Review

Today I will be reviewing the Sanwu Guardian 1W 525nm Green Laser ! I'll be going over the pro's and con's of this laser, performing various tests and presenting good information to know before buying. If this video interests some of you, I would love to do some burning demonstrations and comparisons to one of my other lasers! Enjoy!
- - This video was inspired by @XM360 and his great work reviewing various high-powered and unique lasers (He also had not yet reviewed this unit nor has anybody else on YT it seems, so I thought I would take it upon myself to give a shot haha). That and my fascination with laser technology compelled to make this video out of passion so I hope you enjoy🙂! - -

Do you use an unprotected battery?

Really nice review. I have several Sanwu lasers and one being the 470nm 5watt Silver Series, when ordering I selected multi-mode function but then emailed the company and asked for just two modes and that was: safety lock and full power (5watts). They obliged and it’s great to store the unit locked and can use the

[@TheGentleman8]

I just ordered two striker series and did the multi operation mode. I just emailed them too to see if I could change it to single. I'm hoping it goes my way. 😢

[@RawCuriosity]

I’m thinking of getting the 2w Green Sanwu Challenger II

[@Jeremiahb3821]

Awesome review! Been looking at this laser for a while now but it's a little out of my budget range 😭. Do they have any discounts? Also, can you see the laser dor for a few miles away?

[@etherreal4393]

sorry for the late reply 😅! As for discounts, I'm not too sure but I believe if you search the laser pointer forum, you may be able to find something 😉. Also for the laser, I'd say for this one in particular it can be seen by yourself for up to 1-4 miles at night, and perhaps even further with their beam expander 🙂

[@candela__]

Looked so pretty and bright at night 😍, next time you do that tell me to look out the window and I'm sure I'll be able to see it from my house 🤣

[@etherreal4393]

I'll be sure to let you know haha 🤣! Just be sure to wear your safety goggles because Class IV Laser = no more seeing cool laser beams if shined in the eye :3

[@Alienworld2660]

Is over 400 dollars of sanwu lasers worth the price?? I like the sanwu striker 2watt and I am thinking of getting one but the price is too expensive..

[@Festivals-rq1pq]

Does this have threads on front to use star diffraction caps ?

[@nx7173]

nice, I have a 1W 520nm one that uses one 18650, is insane bright and a good burner, compared to a 532nm 100mW there really is a huge difference in every aspect, the bad thing is the battery duration, mine lasts only about 4 nights or less with constant use with a 25R 2500mAh and with TrustFire 3400mAh 6 or 5 nights.
The seller also told me and added a note about the work cycle, 45 seconds on, 15 seconds off, fully recommended to avoid any overheating and damage to the diode.

[@madfury3179]

How far away can you burn with that power output and wavelength? I want to burn a nylon cord at 3 feet away, can it reach that far away!

[@nx7173]

​@@madfury3179 with good focus you can burn a match like 2 meters away or more in few seconds, it's a good burner although I have not tested it on long distances.
I will try to do a test soon.
1W lasers are dangerous, they almost never disappoint when burn.

[@comeoutofthedark8910]

Please review the 2 watt 525nm Striker from Sanwu.

[@etherreal4393]

I'll go ahead and reach out to them to see if i can make that possible! A partnership for making new laser reviews for them is in the works, so I'll update this channel with new laser reviews once that's possible 😉!

[@user-fu5mf2jy3v]

Which diode did you get….3:element? G2? G7 or G8?

[@bitonic589]

Lenses aren't diodes 😂

[@bitonic589]

Do you even know what a diode is? 😂

[@user-fu5mf2jy3v]

…….well, normally at this juncture I’d typically offer that you’re quite literally too stupid to insult. But the fact that you decided to take time to verify (that you’re just THAT stupid) further solidifies that you’re just not that bright. Be that as it may dip shit. Learn the difference between an actual laser pointer lens to that of a laser pointer diode. A laser pointer diode (LD, also injection laser diode or ILD, or diode laser) is a semi conductor device similar to a light-emitting diode in which a diode pumped directly with electrical current can create lasing conditions (compressed light) at the diodes junction. Perhaps the next time you choose to question someone that you should otherwise think better of... You might instead choose to consider breaking off your intimate, not so ‘secretive’ relationship with your sister! In the process. You should probably consider moving out of your sisters trailer and secure an education beyond that of your GED. Just a thought. Just a thought.

It appears Sanwu is no longer in business. The website is taking orders and payments, but never following up with tracking numbers... even weeks later. They do not answer emails. How long ago did you buy this and how long did it take to get a tracking number?

[@Yiffin84]

I highly doubt they are taking money and not shipping anything out. That would be called a scam and they are pretty damn reputable

[@Gruuvin1]

@@Yiffin84 their business ethics are lacking. They did not meet their promised time to shipping, and they never emailed anything after the automated email on the first day. That was 26 days ago. That's how you make a person feel like they've been cheated. The Chinese have a different idea about business ethics.

[@Yiffin84]

@@Gruuvin1 I completely understand what your saying. From what Ive read, sanwu can take up to 2, sometimes 3 months to arrive but they do arrive. Unfortunate wait times but a very nice laser once you get it

[@Gruuvin1]

@@Yiffin84 they don't tell you that upfront. They tell you the product will be built within 2-8 business days and you will receive a shipping number in 10. This is what's posted on their website. That's the information that informs your purchase when deciding if you'll buy from them. It's a lie. And it's not a fluke, since everyone who's responded says the same thing. Shame on Sanwu. Unethical.

这是一家中国企业，在中国他们的订单非常多，所以国外发货可能会延迟，别担心，他们不是骗子😂

[@SodiumSyndicate]

Get a JLasers 800mW 520nm 14500 battery based laser for $89.

I like how you call aluminum white copper - which, of course, is not a thing. Smh
