I can tell you for sure, DON’T buy the 5000mw from mrs lights. It doesnt come with a pinpoint focusing lense. And they wont sell you one. What a waste. Looking for a lense to focus to a single point if anyone can direct me to one.

That sucks. I am not sure but I would assume they are all built relatively the same. Try htpow.com and drop them an email. They may be able to sell ya one or track one down for you.

I purchased a 10w laser and it doesnt focus and do anything, wasted $100 dollars. Don't buy from laserpointers.com, I found this out before my order even came in from reviews, my fault for not researching first. You need to be aware what you are buying or you might be throwing money down the drain. If anyone has actually purchased a laser that works could you please post a link to the item.

Are you sure it is actually a 10 watt?

Its 1w. Or, if the same ones listed here, 1.5 to 1.6w.
The one I just got was Chinese marketed as 30000mW, but its 3.5w. But they both should work though. This one is bad a... so bad a.. I'm going to get better glasses. Sometimes the reflection causes a burnt plastic smell, while frying stuff in the tank. I don't want to take any chances of it melting through the cheap glasses.

@jduong916 bummer man.
Check out the link I posted ... I worked out a deal with the company (no I do not get paid for it ... lol). I researched the heck out of it and looked into all kinds of companies. I have 2 lasers from htpow.com and they WILLsell you a good one. A few people on here have bought it from the link I posted and are very happy.
If you go backwards on here, it will be the most recent link I posted .. just order it from them and trust me you will be happy!
Sorry about the headache with buying the bad one

I can guarantee it is NOT a 10W.
That would be CRAZY wicked strong. I am not even sure you can get the actual diodes for those .. I have a 5 and it is INCREDIBLY strong. Dangerous strong!
Highest power diode I am aware of is 7.5w. 445nm made by nichia. For you tank needs 1w is plenty. If you get even a single reflection off the glass to your eye your blind for life. No not do this through a plastic tank. The plastic can’t take it. It will discolor turning yellow.
I use @ paste for aptasia. Works very well. Quick and safe.

Check out the website at HTPOW they say they have up to 30000mw. One thing I noticed about this website is some of their laser are marketed at 10000mw, but in the description it state 10000mw is the marking power, actual power is 1500mw. I'm just a little worried because this website seems like the one I bought my first laser from.I can guarantee it is NOT a 10W.

Were you able to focus the laser you bought from them or are you using one with different head attachments.

https://sites.google.com/site/dtrlpf/home/diode-modules/25mm-copper-modules so I buy this. And which other diode, there were multiple on the link. Also, what type of battery?

LOL I have this in my cart, I like the 2x18650 batteries. Have you actually used it? How well does it work? Do you think the 30000mw is worth it over the 10000mw?Its 1w. Or, if the same ones listed here, 1.5 to 1.6w.

yes but he sells it mounted with the driver and lens. look farther down the page. The other link looks fine too. Don't forget to get laser safety glasses for the laser you buy. Really Calk paste works just as well or better.
