What kind of output can i expect?

Hello, i have been browsing the forum for a long time and i finally decided that i am going to build my laser! i am going to get an M-140 445nm diode and i just wanted to know what kind of output i can expect at 1.5A. Would it be around 1.8W? :umbrella:

BTW, i know about the proper safety precautions for this kind of device and i have safety glasses (eagle pair). This wont be used arund anybody else unless they buy their own safety glasses.

Depends on the lens being used.

Oh, sorry i forgot to include that i am going to be using the 405G-1 lens lol :undecided:

Between 1.5W-1.9W would be a fair estimate.:beer:
