So I was thinking about getting a 470nm but I was wondering... Does anyone know the max power you can SAFELY push one too? What wattage is the highest you can push without being at risk of frying your laser?
So how much wattage are we talking for 3.5, 4.0, 4.5A?
If you wanna play it 'safe' I'd recommend 3.5A which will net you 4.7W at 466nm. 4.4A will net you 5W at nearly 470nm. Personally, unless you really care about the blue being super bright I'd recommend the 3.5A for longevity and duty cycle. It's the best ratio of input power to output with the least waste heat.razako I was gonna get mine from the same place.. I was just deciding what I wanted it set at... How do you like yours set at 5A? Have you had it a while? How has it treated you?
Totally. 20nm is a very noticeable difference. 445nm looks like a bluish purple while 466nm will actually look blue.Running the NUBM07E at 3.5a to get 466nm - is it really that different in color than a 445, does that make it worth the more expensive diode?
I'm looking into using one of these for my first build, probably going to purchase the NUBM07E with driver installed already from DTR.
