Hi, Your Flex drive V5 drivers are good for the 488nm diodes from DTR. Just need to bridge the resistors for over ranges. They are also great for SM diodes as well. Rich:)

Hi, Thanks Encap it needed something special and a 520 SM was the choice for this build. Rich:)

Hi, Thank You Velasco I like the 520's single modes nice divergence. Rich:)

Hi And welcome to LPF enjoy your stay and be safe always. Napalm that's a HOT name buddy Rich:)

FOR SALE ... $140.00 Here is a 1X10440 Full copper Host , PL520B / 3 Element lens Thanks for Looking Folks.. Rich:)

Hi, They are great drivers and you won't need to bridge the resistors , just hook up to your dummy load with the proper voltage set the pot. Done ....Kester 63/37 is what used for ever great solder and also Kester liquid flux is awesome to Rich:)

Hi, Welcome to LPF many knowledgeable folks here . Rich:)

Hi, Sorry about the information yes that's correct , for a minute I thought I did, I use the ACS1500 on those 405's thanks a lot Jordan. After I posted it dawned on me . Sorry Barthchris also for the misleading info . yes those flex drives are very tiny and you need a fine point to solder them ...

Hi, Thank you I appreciate the nice comments of my work. my sales page has some hosts and full builds for sale at reasonable prices. Rich:)

Hi, I set a SXD driver to 1100 mA and get over 1700mW's from them . The SXD driver needs no heat sinking under 1.8A . Pushing these 405's to 2W's and over your taking a big chance. I like to be very conservative with driver settings on all my builds no matter what diodes I use. Better to be safe...

The NUGM 03's and 02's aren't bad with the G Ball factory lens . I built many for customers and the divergence compared to the 44's ,05,05 08's are a lot better . As said before decaned diodes are iffy. I have a few of my own with G ball lenses and I am satisfied . Glad you like them. Rich:)

Hi, I sent you a Private message . Rich:)

Hi, I usually watch OAN not any other news stations , the only time I watch FOX ABC NBC or others is to compare their views to OAN . Seems that all the others are non credible and are susceptible to government proofing. Rich:)
