FS: 1W 445nm laser in custom Ultrafire WF-501B

Hey people.

This laser has a switching bucking driver re-used from an old UF 501B LED emitter assembly, modified to put out 1.15 A.
Can use 2x 16340 (or better yet, 18350), for full output, or one 18650 for 100-200mW output depending on battery charge level.
It has an Aixiz 405/455 nm lens, heatsink made by me, host customised a little (essentially same as Simon's laser a while back).
Note - diode is lower grade A130 with shorter wavelenght (less bright than it's 140 counterparts).

Output power is about expected 1W, thought not LPM'd exactly. It's a 130 diode driven at 1.15 Amps through Aixiz glass lens, can't be worse than 800mW even in the case of very bad diode (it's not).

All of laser's components are encased in a heatsink, essentially forming one whole module.

Host does have some wear on it and is not cosmetically perfect (I blame pool quality anodizing on DX's part here).

EDIT - Laser AND 18650 cell charger included. No batteries.

I am asking $100. I know it's a little steep for something not including dual flex or 405-G-1, but there's stuff and I need monies.
On the other hand, free shipping worldwide.

This is amazing deal.

100$??? Really? ^^ Amazing Deal!

Why 445nm looks like 405nm?

Great deal. @ $100 shipped I am surprised you have not sold it already.:beer:

Camera's don't always display true color and sometimes will blend colors that are similar. My camera blends 405 and 445 so that they are not distinguishable. They both just both look like 445.

Here can you tell the difference. One is 405 and the other is 445.

Wow the color looks the same to me, the one on the left seems to be a smidge weaker...

The only way I can tell from your pic dtr is that 445 is on right due to the rectangle beam next to the 405s nice round one!

I've altered the picture in GIMP to represent the color a but more violetish than my camera captured it, to be more alike what it looks like to me in real life while on low power.

Higher power produces more vibrant blue-violet rather than basically-violet color as shown.

Minor change, will include charger, no additional charge (no pun intended ).
The one I got with the O-like 400mW greenie. It's a US style plug, so I can't use it.

im interested. how much?

Thanks Josh. Alienmindfield, weird that you didn't see it. Price is even in bold and pointed out at the very last line after the pictures to make sure people don't miss it.

Perhaps I'm wrong, people maybe miss things after important stuff like photos?

Anyhow, if you're interested, shoot me a message.
