" HAHAHAA ummm Don't know
I know that the LPC-815 can get up to 300mW.
Outside of that, I have no clue.... "
Sorry, but this is WRONG INFO !
*******************************************************************
Open can Red from LPC-815 can output up to 350mW of ~658nm at below 500mA without lens.
that would be interesting to play with... i've searched a little, but came up with no descent prices... google turned up a few 300 dollar 1 watt diodes, mostly Ir though... why would an IR diode be so expensive... yeah their fun... but pretty much useless unless you have an application that demands it... and i suppose you could use it to turn off streetlights lol "works with my red OC at 350mW focsed" not on all of them though...
anyways, i'd love to get my hands on a 1watt diode of ANY kind but IR. if anyone has one lying around... throw me a price. on second thought... red would be the only affordable option when it comes to a whole 1watt of goodness... lemme know.
Definitely Chris's 1W 635nm 9mm. And I'm pretty sure that it fits the 9mm Meredith Glass Module. I know I'm buying one ASAP. I just gotta save up a bit. I think the problem for making these portable though would be finding a big enough host for heatsinking and building a sufficient driver that would still fit inside the host... unless you want a 1W labby.
