It was just around Christmas when I had saved up funds to buy a nice shiny new laser and host as I had my eye on the 1W 520nm as my favorite color is green. I never got around to posting anything on the unit so here it is.
The host was purchased from Sinner and is called the Cypreus-IIb. It is an all copper host with copper module. The module screws in tight and holds a standard 12mm module that slides in very tight also. Took a lot of effort to push the module in but boy does it transfer heat well. It's pretty amazing how fast heat transfers through the entire unit so quickly so if your looking for some serious heat-sinking ability one of these babies should be seriously considered in the running.
I've seen others buy them as straight copper but Sinner offers a thick chromed version (which I obviously purchased) that makes the whole unit look nasty bright and is very classy. I figured brightest diode with brightest host and it sure didn't disappoint.
I like to build units but this time I purchased the whole complete module from Jordan (DTR). It's set at 2.4A (X-Drive) and looks like this:

Here's the extra sink I purchased with the unit. Basically it means you can buy a bunch of them and run whatever you want in the host with an easy change:
Weight of the sink:
Weight of the unit with batteries:
Various pics of host. Hate how the pics make it look like it's got pits or scrapes though because it's really just smooth shiny. I should have taken a cloth to it before taking the pics:
Pay no mind to how the camera I used picked up the brightness. It's pretty much stupid bright
. The camera certainly adjusts to how bright it is because it's WAY brighter in person. This first pic is right beneath (4) 60W bulbs and you can see how the beam is very visible:
This is a couple shots of 3 class 4 532nm on the left with the 1.5W 520nm on the right:
Pic with just the 520nm first:
Pic with 515nm, 520nm, 589nm:
Pic with 515nm, 532nm, 1.5W 520nm, 589nm. Too hard to tell the difference when the 520nm is so bright although I think you won't have a problem seeing the 589nm:
