This is my custom built 5 watt 470nm laser next to my 1 watt Wicked Lasers Arctic. I had this beast built for me by a member on here, Alex Barnett. It uses the NUBM07E 465nm from the DTR shop. When these diodes are driven to their fullest, they can hit 471nm!! I'm sure mines close seeing as it's driven at 4.6 amps and hitting almost five watts . It uses a SXD-V3 5000ma driver with a 3-element glass lens and I gotta say this baby is absolutely perfect. It's focusable, but also set to be focused to infinity when the focusing head is screwed all the way in. NGL, that's something I absolutely LOVE, when a laser is built like that . The builder told me he ran it well over a minute, but I still keep the duty cycle to 60 seconds. This is by far my favorite laser and I don't ever want anything happening to it! It's so powerful, that when it's focused properly, I was able to burn a pop can . It runs on 2 18350 cells, and I chose Efest brand for it. I WAS using ultra crap 16340 cells, but they literally lasted minutes so I knew I had to upgrade the cell quality with this baby. Not a surprise with a laser hitting almost five watts! (it would hit over 5 with a G2 lens, but I love the 3-element the best.) So overall, I'd say this is an absolutely perfect laser; nothing I'd change about it . Thank you so freaking much, Alex!!! Oh, I'll be doing a YouTube review on it in the morning, with safety goggles of course!!! Thanks for looking and have a great day
