Focusable Blue 445nm 200mw - 1W

Hey everybody, I've been looking around online for a focusable blue laser (not violet) with a wavelength of 445nm, which is between 200mw - 1W and has a circular dot, for around $150.
If anyone can provide me with one, that'd be great.

Thanks!

All 445 diodes that you can find will have rectangular "dots" unless they have very expensive corrective optics. It is just how the diodes are made. All are capable of >1W so it will be hard to find a lower powered 445. If you want a circular dot then you'll have to still with other wavelengths.

Unless maybe he doesn't really understand "circular dot" as technically as you do - IE, maybe a 445nm dot would be "circular" for his purposes?

AMN, just search around the forums and you will probably find an answer to your question.
rhd, what do you mean? The dot will always be rectangular no matter what the laser is used for.

Bought my laser, close this thread please.

The arctic is rectangular.

If you want a 445 that does ~200mw get the Survival Laser.

It does 1.2W with two cr123's or two 18650's but with one
18650 it does between 200 and 300 mW.

Forgot about that. I didn't think of inputting half the voltage. My bad.
Now that I think of it, I believe Yobresal's 1-1.2W 445s also do that when you put in 1 18650.

I bought the Survival Laser from a LPF user called scarletwolf031, he sold me the laser itself, original lens cover, a battery charger, 2 rechargeable CR123 batteries, a holster, wrist strap and safety goggles, all for $140!
And the best part is that it's only been used for under a day.
He sent it from Canada to UK - express, recorded, trackable delivery. And the service he provided was great, he answered all my questions, now all that's left is for me to receive the laser.

EDIT - Actually, now I think I've been scammed. He said it should be here by now, but I haven't received anything. And another member of LPF has told me he's payed for the laser as well, and another member told me scarletwolf031 was still offering him the laser. I will update if I get it.
