    Hi Sugeek,

    I was actually referring to the one's suggesting a 2 or 4 watt ready built modules for 800 - 1,000 dollars,,,

    Pangolin Beyond .NET
    APC40 Midi controllers
    Pangolin FB3 controllers
    DZ splitter

    Just let the project finalize, and when they eventually go on sale, then you can decide weather you can afford one or not.
    Very well put Carlos- my sentiments exactly

    If you need to ask the question 'whats so good about a laser' - you won't understand the answer.

    when you go on the killing spree, you might want to use a method similar to what I did in my 405nm aging test:

    http://www.photonlexicon.com/forums/...ighlight=aging

    With this method, you can see degradation before actual failure with the 405nm diodes, and perhaps with 445nm as well.

    good news and bad news ....I have not the time to do the aging test (not presently anyway) and I have just sat here in casual disbelief of what I am doing - trying to kill a blue laser - Incredible - if you had asked me if I would do that 2 weeks ago and I would have called for the men in white coats!
    So ya wanna know whats happend....1425mA reading 1077mW (bear in mind i am using red coated lens - prob quite lossy) and my driver has pegged out - it wont go any higher
    Glad in a way but sad in another....still I will leave it cooking at 1425 for a bit and see if it stays good.
    And to think my choices were to do this or try it with my 556nm yellow in baby bunk....and I chose this!
    pah!

    What temp are you running it at? Cooling? What driver?

    I would estimate based on my playing around that you should be getting about 1350mw or so at that drive level with the correct lens and temp range.

    cool stuff.

    yeah I am sure its making more power but the lens is perhaps not the best. As stated I am using a laser-wave driver inc Tec control and Tec. Dunno the temp I just increased the drive until increasing the diode current didnt peak then fall back as the diode warmed up
    May not be scientific but its a happy blue bunny - still whizzing at 1425mA
