Excuise my laziness for not searching the forum in depth for my question. Who on this forum is good and trustworthy to buy 1w 445nm lasers from? I am not experienced enough to build my own. I saw a nice shiny silver one on youtube that was made by a forum member and I would like to buy one or more. Any suggestions on who I should talk with. Again, excuise my laziness and thank you for your time.

If you're looking for shiny silver, I've got two more of these sitting around pretty much ready to go with everything except for the current set. Use custom 1085 drivers, with the ICs thermal epoxied right to the heatsink. Run on 2x 18350s or 16340s (cr123s)

The driver's IC can handle any current range that a 445 can take - so there's flexibility on that front. I would generally suggest shooting for 1.5W output. Conservative, but powerful.

Might be worth contacting Ehgemus as he does custom host's that work great with 445nm diodes, and they're nice and shiny and can be machined to your designs

After Ehgemus has built the host you can have him send it off to a builder on the forum to make the laser up and send it over to you

Thanks for all of the help guys! Actually rhd has made one for me and it is the silver host shown in this thread. His laser bee test yielded 1.58w which is pretty awesome and the host is great looking as well. Can't wait to see it. I will keep the rest of you in mind for future purchases for sure.
