532nm laser diode is dead

All china laser module lifetime is low?
I read a lot the Lw modules in Pl forum, and It seemed to me, the LW is medium quality, therefore I bought from them in the all modules.
I use my laser about 8-10 hours a month so I thought, the Lw modules work perfect 5-6years.

The LW support is excellent and we looking for the solution now.

The prices on green DPSS lasers for light shows are just so low few if any of the companies can make a quality laser that REALLY lasts 5000-10,000 hours before falling below spec power. For example Laser Quantum gets ~$12K for 500 mW green GEM lasers and they do last 20K hours but would anyone here pay over $10K for 1/2 watt green? Nope. All the companies (in China) say 5000-10,000 hour lifetime but I bet if you get 500 hours you are doing well.

The LW support and me managed to find a solution so that I will exchange from 532nm to 520nm module.

If you use the laser 10 hours/month that is 120 hours per year so 6 years would only be 720 hours, not 5,000. I have never heard of a DPSS like this lasting 5,000 hours and still making spec power. Who can honestly say they have had one last that long and make sopec power? Phil
