Howdy folks! Its been a while! I've been out of the loop for a while and would like to find a quality 445nm laser around 3 watts.. Needs to be focus-able, preferably with a nice big easy-to-fucus ring. Price range needs to be around $220 or less.
Needs to be from a reputable company or builder who will ship in a reasonable amount of time.
Anyway, the one that has peaked my interest the most so far is this 3w version of the Kryton Groove:

I remember this host from back when I was posting here regularly several years ago. Looks really nice, but the only thing I worry about is the duty cycle and diode life since the heatsink is so small for that kind of output.
Just want to see what other options are available before I order.
Thanks!
