Hey Guys here is my promised next build 
My 500mW 405nm Laser from Lazerer died 2 Weeks ago and I couldn't sustain a life without that beautiful wavelength and I need an UV laser to kill Vampires, what we all do from time to time
I wanted a relatively small and light host with good carrying capabilities but also a big heatsink for long duty cycles.
I came up with a design pretty similar to my previous skeleton host but with a bigger heatsink for 1W+ Diodes.
As soon as the design was finished I got my lathe spinning and this came out
The Host is small and fits perfect in one Hand for an tactical grip
I used a Microboost set at ~550mA and a 405-G2 Lens should give me around 800mW output.
I'm running this build with a single 16340 the current draw at the tailcap is around 1,2A which equals run times around 27 minutes -.-
The Beam is visible even with my camera flash
The Camera from my Galaxy Note 2 picks the beam way more blueish and little brighter up as it looks in real ...
Thumbs up for my match graveyard :evil:
With this much single mode power the beam cuts clean trough the matches within seconds!! Better then with my 2,5W 445nm
Had a lot of fun with fluorescence of this wavelength
With a green lighter...
a bottle with chinin filled liquid
an orange lighter
beautiful Beam shot without any tricks like fog or longer exposure shots.
I'm feeling like in the middle of Star Wars :drool:
Now to the interest part the duty cycle with this heatsink is ridiculously long after 5 minutes the heatsink is still cold after 10 minutes warm not hot
exactly what I wanted
Unfortunately my lpm hasn't arrived yet
I'll update long lpm runs as soon as it arrives !
I made a video for you guys as well it took a while for the match to be cut in half didn't catch the focus point well with my glasses on -.-
Hope you enjoyed the Review and as always
Best Regards from Germany :beer:
