What would you say is the best housings for the diodes?
Aixiz or ?
Dont know if there are any others=?

I find Aixiz to do the job so stick with them. I've got some if you needed. Some other lens options from them too, Glass Bluray AR coated, Red AR coated, etc... Some tests on LPF are showing Aixiz glass 405nm AR Coated are doing quite well at collimating for a cheap solution while a more specific one is found.

My build is going to be using 2 Meredith mounts :)
you gone all eco jim using cardboard boxes as cases? ;)Quote:

Ive got a couple of the laserwave brass modules, anyone know what size lens they take?
No it is a different size I'm afraid.Quote:

The only thing that worries me about the Aixiz modules is the lack of thermally conductive metal within their build - They lack substance :rolleyes:
With a 1W 5.6mm diode slapped into one with a near 100% duty cycle there may be issues with cooling?
Thoughts?
Jayrob on LPF makes custom copper modules that have better heat transfer. He machines them to fit an aixiz size lens.

Now that sound good then.
