2W 445 in a Z5 Host

Pending localy.



For sale is a 2W 445nm Laser
The diode is one of the new H-series diodes

Output is just over 2W at room temp (70f) See LPM chart
Output jumps to around 2.2W if it is cold (40f)
Price is 400 shipped to the USA, or best offer.




Lens is a G2
The whole head of the host is used to adjust the focus
This makes for very easy focusing (See video)


The heatsink was custom made by Eudaimonium (Thanks!)

It uses a Mohgasm Driver
2 Nice Panasonic 18650 3100mAh batteries are included.
A charger is not included

Safety glasses are not included, but are required.

The laser's duty cycle is dependent on the ambient temperature,
the driver will overheat well before the diode is hurt,
and when the driver overheats it will start to pulse the laser
letting you know it is time to give it a break.

From a room temp start it will go for about 2 minutes.
before you need to let it cool down.

1min/30sec is be a good general duty cycle for it.

There are a couple minor inperfections you should know about:
1) There is some glue barely visible oh the host (see last pic)
2) My flat black paint job on the front of the laser looks good,
but isnt quite perfect. (2nd pic, but it hard to see)

These 2 issuse are hard to notice unless you are looking for them,
and overall the laser comes off as being quite impressive IMO.

Nice looking build!

I was waiting for the door to start smoking. :thinking:

Looks like a good solid build.

Good luck with your sale. :beer:

What sucks is that I have a build very similar to this that I am going to be finishing in a few days (but in this case, I made the heatsink/focus ring myself) and may have put it up for sale. I may just keep it for my personal collection though.

If you wait till he sells his before listing it I'm sure there will be no problem.

I'm curious to know how this flashlight works as... a flashlight.
Did you try it?

Just ask him if it is one of his signature hosts.

Actually, I have one as a flashlight and it is ok. I like this one better...

Cooler Flashlight

I think the first one is better looking, but I am more impressed with the flashlight properties of the one on Amazon.

It's not one of his signature hosts, actually. It's one of Angelos'. Angelos already gave me the okay - have had this one planned for a while.

Omg this is a nice build. It looks very similar--copper module thermal'd to aluminum heatsink--to the setup I'd like to do on future builds, my conclusion from that "copper copper copper" thread.

I really like that focusing on the front, did you have to change anything or does the focusing piece just screw into the lens?

Nice build.

Its a nice flash light, but instead a reflector it uses a lens.
and you can just push the head piece forward and backward,
without twisting anything to adjust the focus.

Thanks

The focus worked better that I expected, but it did take some modifying.
I used one of those big ezfocus adapters that people sell here,
and epoxyed it to the original head, then painted it.

Oh I see it in the 4th picture. Looks like a real nice fit eh? I like...

I was hoping to build it so the focus mechanism remained the same for it as a laser, just pushing and pulling it in and out to focusl

The only issue is that lenses that we use aixiz, 3 element, G1/G2
all only need to move like a tenth of an inch
to go from far focus to close focus,

Where as this thing moves like an inch or 2 to adjust focus
You would probably need a custom lens of some sort.

Unless you dont mind only having a small area to move to focus it.

Looks alot like the host I have coming for you Sam.

Interesting. Well then! Lemme take a look at it when it gets to ya and I'll see what I can do
