    Default Red blue build bring on the green

    Finished up with my blue and red build, currently set at 3.5W of 445, 3.5w 637. Beams at 55' red is .5 x .5 inch square, blue is .325 x 1 inch, there is a slight tilt squiggly to it (how about that tech term) I am thinking the correction lens or diodes are slightly tilted. I may stack the 445 like the 637 and try for more of a square beam match. Still deciding. The plate is drilled and ready for (2) green diodes and correction.

    Can still get more power out of the build, but set it at 3.5 each with the tec at 19c

    I will be adding spatial filters as well to clean up the beams.

    Are you ready to spend $850 a pop on those diodes? That's the real question....

    Only because I don't have it in the spendable toy account, might sell something to afford them sooner. Four years ago I would have never dreamed of seeing the beam in sunlight with no fog, just basement dust.
