Hi again, looks like I was late to the party on the 559nm lasence posts. I've had this for a while now and finally got around to getting decent pictures.
I've had the host even longer... failed experiment between Rich (Lifetime17) and I with the OPT modules. I've always wanted to use this one in particular for its nuclear look containing radioactive yellow-green beam. He was surprised when I told him years later that I finally got it to work with a lasence module.
Due to my prior experience with DPSS modules, I knew this wouldn't be an easy build because of the case (+) IR diode. I also couldn't trace the driver to find out if the + or - end was limiting current...
So, I opted to just not deal with it at all. Yup. Scotch taped the hell out of that thing. The modules don't really get warm at least, so it should be fine especially considering how big the heatsink is.
I have a 561nm head to compare the color with. I can only tell a difference side by side, honestly even then it's pretty difficult.
(561nm on left, 559nm on right)
Anyway, just a few pics to leave off with (all are color corrected, most cameras only see this as pure green):
