Hey All,


This has to be one of the best captures i caught of my 405nm laser.:)

Color and Everything.:)

I got this From DJNY "Phi" as a Gift as we tend to just give each other stuff do to our friendship.:)

I Love this Laser.

It is a Laser GLow Electra - Laserglow Technologies - Handheld Lasers, Alignment Lasers and Lab / OEM Lasers

Need i say More....:drool:


When I first got it it was Stock and in Mint Condition.:wave:

It was Putting Out ~65mW and ran off the 2x CR2 3v cells.:)

I Loved it as Is, In fact i like Lower power 405nm as the Dimmer light makes it look a Deeper Color. Since i wanted to make this One my personal and best 405nm laser i had I had to upgrade it.:drool:

So I did this to it......


The Specs:

Host - LaserGlow Electra "What a Sick Name"
Diode - 12x S06J Cheery Picked "Third best of my Personal"
Driver - lazeerer Buck X-Drive V6 Mini
Lens - 405-G Series
Power - ~1W Now "Use to be 850mW"
Currant - 607mA
Battery - 2x CR2 "Keeped it Original but this time using 3.6v Rechargeable"
Switch - Upgrade to black color low Profile rather then the Gray standered. "Looks Better IMO"
Polarity - Case Positive
Duty/Cycle - IDK never really tested it Maybe 30 seconds on 1 minute off if iam doing continuous back to back.

Iam So Happy how this Laser turned out.:) Its my Go to 405nm laser.:wave:




:thanks: DJNY "Philipp" For another Great Gift.:) It turned out Great.:beer:





Keep On Lazing.......

That is a VERY nice unit you have sir!

+1 for the pics and video :)
 
Awesome! I wish my 12X was so efficient. I'm only getting 500mW at about 480mA. :(
But that is a really awesome laser.

Thanks.:) Is that with a G1 lens.? If so then yea that is very low. at 480mA you should be seeing ~530mW with a 3 element lens and ~700mW+ with a G1/G2.

I must say though that even though its efficient it probably wont last long. Though again i must say i have had 3 ~1W 405nm laser and all are still alive with one that has ~3hours of ON time. I dont really care if they die. Its fun enjoying it at this power.:) Its worth the price i get the diodes at by far.;)

I really want to find the Blue version of this Host. I really Love this Design.

Yes. I was Blown away this morning when i took the video before the fog cleared up. Even with Fog inside i never seen 405nm like this before. EVER.!

I was really happy this morning. Mind you it was 5am.:D

Iam going to render the video to see if it improves the quality. That is a direct UL.

Geez, you really turned that thing around! Very nice work...you can't even tell that it has been tampered with!
 
How long should this last at 607mA? I'd like to eventually build a ~1.5W+ 405 labby using a PBS cube, but if 2W is possible, I'd like to explore all my options. :eg:

How long before mirror polishing? :eg:

Knowing the usual for these, I feel I passed up a reasonably efficient diode :/ I had an S06J peaking at 520mW before the driver would shut down from over powering it. The driver was set to 396mA.

If i new how long i would tell you but i dont.:( I have one set higher then this too and that has the longest run time or ON time however you want to say it and its still going strong.

I can say not anywhere close to how long one would last at ~<500mA.

Not going to polish this one.:na:

I figured 500mA is right, I might be able to luck out and get the module back. I had no idea that 520mW at <400mA was efficient, I actually thought the opposite. Either way, sick laser you have here!

? Iam Lost with what you said.

At 450mA you should see an Average S06J do ~520mW with a 3 element lens.
At the same currant with a G-1/2 lens you would see ~>700mW.

^That is your average S06J.

At 500mA you will be ~800mW with a G1.:beer:
 
Well then my diode was crap, at 395mA it was doing 520mW with a G2. I misread you saying at 430mA you should be getting 530 with a G lens, just reread it and that estimate was with a 3 element.

I dont really conceder any diode Crap unless it doesn't work. Just because its not as efficient does not mean its a Crappy diode.

Do you know how many of these 12x diodes i go through to get 1 of these.:crackup:

Here is a Start:
19pcs BDR-S06J SLeds Extracted & 20pcs LPC-826 Bare Diodes - YouTube

I know other go through 10x that.

You should be happy that it works.:) I always look at it as it could be alot worse and it arrives LED. Since we buy diodes that are rejects not brand new you cant expect everyone to be Efficient.

What you can do is use that diode in a smaller build and get some new diodes to see if you get lucky.:) In fact its all luck of the draw.:)

Yeah I am using a 405-G-1.
I've built at least 4 12X lasers - some with the S06J and some with the SF-BW510 (IIRC) and they all have been about the same with the exception of the first 12X I built. I think it produced about 480mW at ~375mA with 405-G-1.
I wouldn't mind so much if I used bigger hosts but I like to use pen hosts and my current 12X is in a "pocket mini" so the extra current means extra heat and shorter continuous run time.

Seeing threads like these just remind me of how below average my poor laser is. :(

What is the forward voltage at ~600mA for your laser?
