Sourcing OEM Thunder Replacement Laser Tubes for your Nova Laser Machine

Sourcing OEM Thunder Replacement Laser Tubes for your Nova Laser Machine




Things to know:


If your Thunder Laser is under warranty, you need to use our OEM specified brand and model unless directed by Thunder Laser USA Support. If your machine is out of warranty you are free to replace it with whatever you wish but making sure you use the prescribed parts will help ensure continued performance and reliability.

These are weights and dims of the thunder OEM Laser Tube crates:



Thunder Laser uses mostly SPT tubes (and Reci) and every tube is inspected, measured, and tested to make sure each one meets or exceeds our quality standards. 


Thunder Laser USA does stock tubes for warranty stock. If your Thunder Laser is under warranty and you have a problem please submit a support ticket at  support@thunderlaserusa.com




Our OEM tubes already have the wire pigtails with HV connector attached. The current Light Object and other 3rd Party will likely only have wire wrap posts which need to be terminated correctly.



We like to keep the specified model and type tube in warranty machines, but if you are out of warranty and choose another brand tube, that is totally up to you. adding Non-OEM spec equipment could change the behavior, output, calibration, etc... so the tube needs to have the same specs as the OEM tube to help mitigate the difference.
