Well I just fried a 700mW Ocarlo in a beautiful Eghemus host.
Silly me, I installed two batteries instead of one.
Whaaaat? Drivers don't auto-detect? Neither do diodes? :wtf:
Got a label on the tailcap now. :banghead: I've never been happy with the divergence of the Ocarlo. Looks like a fan but it is a nice bright red beam.
So since I have another 700mW Ocarlo from SciFi in their nice Arcane 2.0 host, divergence trumps output power for this rebuild. I would, however, like to clearly see the beam at night. Am I asking too much? Any recommendations?
EDIT: Just got 'lost' two 450nm and one 473nm at a cost of ~$700 for all three lasers. Hope PayPal disputes come through. How do the blues fare on divergence - looking for ~450nm, bright as possible.
