405nm here i go again
So my lumia is going to have 4 aperatures. Going to be running 2x 250mW cheap greens, 2x 500mW 445s and 2x 300mW 638s. I see on eBay that there are 600mW 405s. I know how fragile the 405s have been. I think it would be an interesting addition to my lumia especially after seeing Swami's 405 lumia. So, 600mW, attained by driving the diode at around 6v @ about 440mA. Does anyone know if this is a gross overpower and I will only get about 10hours out of the diode? Have these diodes gotten any better with lifespan and the SIDS that they used to suffer from? Here is the eBay link. Any advice would be awesome. Thanks
