589 MilkyWay

Sorry for the ignorant question on the subject,
But how does a 2W diode (I think 445nm) to be violet?
So isn't it 2W? will it be 1W / 1.5W? those that are violet ... or am I wrong?

That particular diode is a multi-mode 405nm one. There are recent threads on it.

Lovely. Have you seen the time lapse videos of the observatory on mauna kea Hawaii? I believe they use a 10W 589nm. Can be found on youtube. "Mauna Kea Heavens"

Oh ... Paul, thanks for the info! I thought only the 1000 / 1500mw were violet!

Good thing it is your son who is getting married. Traditionally, here in the US, the father of the bride pays for the wedding.
