A little birdie in a tree whispered to me one frosty morn. The creature delivered tales from a land far away of 445nm diodes (presumably Nichia and/or Osram) being delivered in 3.8mm and 9mm form factors. Said diodes may or may not hit the market en masse soon, too.

Of course, there were 445nm 9mm diodes floating around before Crapio hit us up with the 5.6mm diodes. Apparently the Nichia ones are also rated for 1W or so, so there shouldn't be too much of a change.

I don't care so much about the 3.8mm diodes as they're just about useless.

The 9mm package, however, is larger, easier to work with, and also potentially gives more contact area for heatsinking. Collimation should be the same as the die itself would presumably be unchanged.

I don't know, though. It's just a rumour. If these diodes do exist, fun could be had with them. Diodes in a proper package (alongside the existing 5.6mm) diodes could be interesting.
 





It is more like a GB. Let me know if you want one to mess with as I should have a few extra.
 
I did not put it in the Veterans section to keep it away from the rest of the forum but I felt it would keep it from being deleted as a certain company may not like what is being discussed and some of us remember what happened to my last thread like that.:beer:

Click to expand...

Whether we like it or not, reality remains reality

Peace,

Better get yours quick, the birdie(s) don't have many left, as said only 24....
 
Ahoihoi
9mm would be cool...still 1W or even more output?

Whats needed to be able to visit the Veteran forum btw?
 
We pretty much all agree that some members are worthy to be let in early, but a few demanded we stick to the rules, so we did. We have a trust level in the Vets section, and usually by 1000 posts we can tell what kind of person you are. I'd suggest trying to help more people to raise your count. We usually ignore post whores, so spamming useless posts may get you in the door, but you wont be invited to play in the reindeer games.
 
Nvmd, tj addressed my comment very well

Dont worry. I try not to spam...raising my count is not my goal on this board.

How about otics for those diodes? Are there housings and lenses for them available as well?
