Thanks for having patience with me Jay, all has become clear. And I agree it's best to be a little conservative, the last thing I want is a REAL phaser on overload!
So basically it comes down to (approx) a 500mw 405nm beam or 1.2W 445nm?
And naturally I assume the 445nm is going to be the brighter beam.
If anyone reading this (including you, of course, Jay) has two lasers of this power (or close to it) and is willing to take a few comparison beam pictures, I'd really appreciate it!
Before I plunk down $500 I want to be as informed as possible
Sometimes pictures can be misleading...
I'll bet if you do a Google search, you will find a lot of links!
But I can tell you that even at the same power, a 445 is much brighter beam in the night sky...
