A new 445 project

[andy_con]

i was in maplins the other day and saw this case and thought hm thats looks a good size and shape lets get one. so am now craming lots in there to make a 5-6watt 445 modules.

additional pics will follow as and when

the actual lid measures just 120mm by 95mm, so its going to be a tight build

Out of curiosity, how much do you sell these for?

 

[Lotus_Darkrose]

I'm going to guess 700-800. Wonder how off I am lol.

 

[joeyss]

2-3k?

 

[andy_con]

£2000 odd

 

[ARG]

£2000 odd

That's appx ~3,300$ for anyone curious

am also working up a beta version of this module, 10 diodes each driven by its own driver. all enclosed in that housing

 

[Gryphon]

what current will you be driving the diodes at?

 

[andy_con]

1.2amps each i wont be over driving them, ill be going by the spec sheet

 

[offroadfreak8582]

this is awesome :drool: so this will do about 5-6W output? that's just cruell

 

[BShanahan14rulz]

that's just cruell

off topic (sorry andy, cruel looking build by the way, can't wait to see the compact photon-faucet at full force) but I lol'd. We can't say "That's Wicked!" because that might convey the wrong message. "That's Cruel!" sounds cool :wave:

[andy_con]

slow progress as im waiting on some lens

 

[andy_con]

you know its a tight build when you have to mod the mirror mounts

 

[dieselmarine]

Sick build...Great job!

That's amazing to say the least. Do I even need to mention the need for glasses here? Just kidding, I'm sure you know that already. Great job on the build, it looks great, although I'd like to see the finished case for that.
