SOLD: 1,700 mW 453nm (high wavelength) - "Tiny Tank" Silver / Brushed Nickel Build
Hello all,
For Sale: 1,700 mW 453nm build - The "Tiny Tank"
(Higher wavelength cherry-picked 453nm diode)
There's something special about this host, and that's it's weight. In terms of dimensions, it looks similar to a FandyFire 18650 body. In reality, the construction of this host is substantially heavier. The host walls are the thickest I have seen in an 18650 form factor. If you glance at the up-close headshot, you'll see what I mean. This body has a lot more mass to dissipate heat throughout than other 18650 hosts I've come across. There's a really solid weight to this laser, it feels very substantial to hold. The build runs on either 2x16340 or 2x18350 cells. As always, I recommend IMRs.
As with some other recent builds, I've been cherry picking high wavelength diodes now that I have a spectrometer. I've used a 453nm diode in this build, which means that mW for mW you'll get a much brighter beam than with a 445. Colour-wise, you won't see a difference between 453 and 445 (unless you have amazing eyes). According to my brightness comparison tool, this build would look like a 2.3W 445nm. There's some debate over how well these brightness comparison tools can work, but it should be safe to say that in the very least, this wavelength will look brighter than a 2W+ 445nm.

Price is $245 + shipping.
I ship via fully-insured and trackable shipping methods. Within North America shipping is $18. International buyers should PM me for shipping cost.
You MUST own laser protection goggles appropriate for this wavelength, and
You MUST be over 20 years of age, and
You MUST be familiar and experienced with the appropriate safety precautions to take with lasers of this power.
Interested buyers shoot me a PM or post in the thread.
