1W+ NDG7475 520nm C2 Build

[dentillozie]

Last week my long awaited NDG7475 diode arrived from DTR.

I also had ordered a heatsink for a C2 host from Eudaimonium.
The quality was really really nice.

The C2 i ordered was originally black but i de-anodized it.
This makes the host a lot more attractive in my opinion.

I had to drill out the pill to make everything fit together.

I made a contact board from a stripped 105C driver and drilled a small hole to it, this way i could connect the lead straight the battery contact. this lower the overall resistance make it a tad more efficient.

As power supply i use 2 16340's. The are a little long but i unscrew the tube a little to accommodate this.

some random beamshots...

I dont have an LPM (Man i really need one) so i could not measure it but im sure it does well over 1W.

This laser completes my "1W trinity"

I hope you enjoyed this little thread!

Good job on the C2! :beer:
I agree with you, that that de-anodized look is a nice alternative to the traditional black host.

Wonderful !!
Great job and as Mr Bowtie said, the de-anodized looks great as do the beams.
Love the Trinity.

Hi ,
Great build awesome host to, resembles a C8 i use. Never mind about the LPM reading the NDG7475 is all green goodness. that is one bright diode and DTR is the go to man with all the right stuff. Congratulations on a superb build buddy..

Very nice, I'm sure the green looks a lot brighter than the rest in person.

Thanks all! this laser sure is bright!!
Compared to a NUBM07E its about the same if not a little brighter maybe.
I also find the color more pleasing vs a 532nm.
