    those are the same people that listed the 1 watt greens first at 1k so I'd expect a drop to 150.00 or so. I'll bite on one of those. 457 520 638 homer we have arrived at the same lines I started with.

    Post for tracking......To my eye...the 473 DPSS line was Too much an "Electric Blue "....and the 445 is too much an Azure/purple. I am not sure what the 462 line will look like....but I have seen a 457...and I think that is a good color.....strictly speaking about color preference....saying nothing about how this will impact the color palette.

    Shame, I was prepared to take a risk on a pair for my new builds. Time is running out though as they need to be finished by mid June.

    I know Nichia has been running around quite in a tiff since the NDG7475 and NDB7A75 fiasco.
    Oh, what's this about??

    You are using Bonetti's defense against me, ah?

    I thought it fitting, considering the rocky terrain.

    If you run these diodes hot do the shift to longer wavelengths like the reds? In this case might be a good thing.

    Yes. There was a post somewhere.. might have been on laser pointer forum. But when the current was turn up it shifted up. I think around 1800mw is when it got near 470ish.

    I think I remember reading here somewhere that they do, but at a lesser extent than the reds. Also running hot may degrade performance and decrease life span. It would be nice if that would work though .
    -edit- oops didn't see your post drm .. posting at the same time ..
