I see, if the loss isn't too bad then it shouldn't be an real issue for me. I'll probably end up doing that at some point. I have a 25mm host for the 9mm diode. I wanted to have a beefy heatsink for the green cause it one of my more expensive diodes. Also it would look wonky with a 12mm lens...

Ah yes I saw that. I might have to pick that up at some point. For now though I gave in and bought the Sharp GH05C01B9G aswell. Will update when it arrives and see how well it runs. I just didn't really like how I had to stack lenses and the losses from stacking asformentioned lenses.

"You can also buy this 1W+ 520nm Sharp diode at the same price and it has a window can GH05C01B9G" - Red cowboy (can't link cause sub 20 posts) The unfortunate thing is I already have the NUGM01T and forgot to shop around for ones that comes with the window can. Picked it up for $36 so I'm...
