Hey guys, after recently reading a thread made by "Brewdiver82" reviewing his new Sanwu Spiker 7W w/accessories, I felt the need to try out one of Sanwu's "Lightsaber" attachments.
I've always thought they looked pretty darn cool, but I just never got around to ordering one; hell how can you go wrong for $18. :yh:
I ordered the Lightsaber $18, and the 9.0 x 0.5mm adaptor $5. I don't own any Sanwu lasers yet, so I only bought the generic 9mm adapter that fits any 12mm module.
I figure I'll make any other laser specific adaptors that I'll need.
This is my first time ordering from Sanwu, and I found the ordering straightforward, the shipping was quick, and the Lightsaber arrived in perfect condition.
I was a little worried when I saw that it was shipped in only a brown padded envelope with some extra bubble wrap at the ends, and it was stuffed in my mailbox with not quite enough room to get the door closed properly. :eek:
When I first received my new toy, I naturally had to take the knurled 9.0 x 0.5mm adaptor off, and when I did, I noticed that the threads that were cut on the plastic Lightsaber itself were a larger diameter (12mm x 0.5mm) IIRC.
Seeing this gave me an idea to try to fit the Lightsaber directly to my J/L pen series laser, which has an internal thread cut into the front of it; it looks like it was literally made for it, a perfect fit! :cool:
All in all, I'm very happy with my first experience with Sanwu, even though it was only a small purchase. I would, and probably will buy from them again. 10/10! :beer:
This version of their Lightsaber seems to be different (better) than some of the previous versions that I've seen; these have some very good looking vertical grooves on the inside of the bore which give it a much classier look than the plain tube.
One suggestion that I have would be to make a "Big Brother" version of this fine product.
The current Lightsabers are approx. 40cm (16") long, which seems to be a perfect size for the small to medium laser hosts.
I think something a few mm larger in diameter, and maybe 15~20cm (6"-8") longer would be perfect for those extra large lasers such as the PL-E Pro's.
Below are a few photos of my Lightsaber. :yh:

Here you can see the internal grooves, they really improve the look over the original.
