I understand. I have no interest in 635/650nm and 532 has become a bore.

Today is overcast, so it isn't terribly bright indoors, but the beam from my 195mW PL450 is clearly visible while the beam from my 515mW 405 is not.

The PL450 has 3.8mm package. You will need a suitable module for it like the 3.0mm copper module from the GB.

I believe the M140 is the standard 5.6mm can.

I have my 450 in a 10440 host and the heatsink has very little mass. After a few minutes of playing with it I can feel the heatsink get slightly warm. I think I'm running it around 210mA to get 195mW out?:thinking:

Here it is next to my 405 in C6 host.
