I had some time over the weekend, so I made up a few lasers. All of these have the 445nm diode harvested from a Casio XJ-A140 projector. The all have either the MicroFlex or the MicroBoost driver from drlava. They all come with a single 18650 battery. They will all come with the AixiZ 445nm glass lens. The outputs listed below are with the 405-G-1 lens form Jayrob, but you will have to order one of them from him yourself if you want it.
At these high of outputs, I recommend you limit the length of your duty cycles. I tested them at 60 seconds. However, above ~900mA, these diodes create a lot of heat. Let them cool down between burns
From the top down --
SOLD The first is in an Ehgemus custom host. The switch in the tail can be used as a momentary switch with a slight depressing and as a clicky switch with pressing it farther. It is putting out 1.2W with the 405-G-1 lens. It is $250 shipped in the US
SOLD The second is in a Jayrob Stainless Steel 18650 host. It has a tail clicky. It is putting out 1.1W with the 405-G-1 lens. It is $250, shipped in the US
SOLD PENDING FUNDING The third is in the Jayrob black 18650 host. This one has a slight beam artifact. The diode did not press squarely into the module. The result is a small "flare" that you can see at a distance. It does not affect the beam for star pointing or the ability to burn up close. However, it can be seen when shining the spot on a wall at several meters. I decided to offer it at a discount rather than to rebuild it. It is putting out 850mW with the 405-G-1 lens. If no one wants a "deal" I'll rebuild it and sell it for $250. Shipped as is, it is $200, shipped in the US
International shipping will be additional $
Peace,
