Hey, today I found a diode in my mailbox!
That sure was fast, thank you kingdingeling.
Unfortunately, I have no way of trying it out, since I have none of the usually
employed driver circuits on hands, although I could wire up some lm317 based driver.
Neither do I have a lens or even a module to make a home for the diode, as of yet :/
Also I'm frickin' scared I'll blast this little blue bug into ESD-heaven.
So untill I get hold of some more ingredients, I can't give any more feedback
than this.
Damn it, me wants to see blue light NOW! :
I'm still waiting.Maybe today.

OK, so I'm still waiting on a housing, lens and some parts for the driver,
but today I rounded up the balls (I'm a bit ESD-paranoid) and put
the probes of my DMM in diode test mode across the 445 diode.
It's alive... It's alive!!
Muuaaaahhhaaahahhahhahhhahhahaaa!!
I'm sorry about this, but I was just too excited too see something blue
come out of the tiny fuxor for the 1st time!
I wasn't actually worried at all if it was broken or anything, no worries there.
