Those are both good ideas. 1W+ of 520 is about as bright as anything else out there. I see you have some good 445s. If you want something in a higher powered blue, I'd recommend the NUBM07E. I'm getting almost 5W out of mine, and the beam color is a completely different blue than a 445. Unless...

Alright. I assumed that if it was in the Buy Sell Trade section it would be up for one of the three. Good build by the way. The cyprus has always been one of my favorite looking hosts.

What price are you hoping to get for it?

Thanks for the tutorial! I've been looking for the order to put a couple of my cleaned lenses back in! Also, do you recommend any solvent at all for this?

Do you know if the module includes a current regulating driver? Do you have a picture of the module, or a link to it somewhere? This could help us identify its power requirements.

Where should the new 465nm+ diodes fall on this chart? What should we list it as?

Awesome host, diode, and build. Have you had a chance to compare the color with your 462 yet, or is that diode still in limbo without a body?

Nice build! I love the color and pictures. I have the same host and diode, but am yet to combine them. What kind of duty cycle are you getting with this?

You've got a great piece of hardware there. I hope to pick one up myself and get into the wild world of beam expanders.

With a G2 lens and focused to infinity, I get a spot size of 9.53mm by 1.59mm at 4 inches from the lens. With a 3 element lens, I get a better defined spot (less splash) which measures 6.34mm by 2.39mm. If you'd like me to test it at a different focus or distance, let me know =)

This is sure to be an amazing diode. I can't wait to one day see such intense sky blue in person. Thanks for the review. This diode will likely bump my other builds farther down the queue. Have you had the chance to test more than one to see what kind of wavelength range we can expect, or do you...

I considered getting the driver separately and thermal epoxying it to the back of the heatsink. There's plenty of room back there, but I elected to have DTR put it directly on the diode. I then slipped a little cylindrical magnet between the driver and the wall of the module to help transfer the...

My first real post, and I went big. I finally got around to putting together a few of the pieces I've acquired recently. Specifically, combining the amazing heat sinking power of a copper heat-sinked 2D Maglite build kit from Jayrob and a NDG7475 module from DTR. The price tag hurt, but upon...
