...or very right, depending on your definitions of what constitutes a productive night.
In any case, I threw the 445 for my projector together, and was running it to take a few temperature readings, as well as temperature stability measurements. That usually implies long periods of sitting around and doing nothing.
Because I don't have WiFi, I couldn't really do anything productive on my laptop (or so that was my excuse anyway. ).
So, instead of sitting around for half an hour, I fired up my red and green as well. And, well, it went from there.
Enjoy.
Test jig with brass heatsink for blue diode
Throw some green into the mix.
Auto white balance skews the green towards the blue end of the spectrum. It's interesting; there's a rule regarding colour blending for a nice cyan/white with 445/532 which we should all know well enough.
Time to throw some red into the mix
Funny thing is, even though the red is the most powerful out of them all, being 658nm means it isn't very visible, both to the camera and to the eye.
Of course, never forget the OD3 attenuation goggles for 190-550nm. A must when working with the Class IV blue. It's not just uncomfortable to look at, diffuse reflections can cause permanent retinal damage.
Once again, the red is barely visible.
Ooh, shadows.
And now in three colours
That's the phone I was using to take pictures with
And this is how it's done:
Oh, it didn't end there.

To them: HOLY F#CK WHAT WAS IN THE PILLS I JUST TOOK?
