50mW 532nm Green Laser Diode Module with Driver Stage Light Heatsink | eBay
High Quality 200mW 532nm Green Laser Diode Module Green Beam Lab Stage Lighting | eBay
Look at these 2 ads.
Both use the same stock beam pic running into fog.
Both have a working current of about 1w input, now the driver is not 100% efficient, the 808 pump diode is not 100% probably not 50% efficient and typically it takes about 4-5x the pump diode power to get 532nm out of the crystal set.
Some crystals can be a little more efficient but not enough to put out more than is put in LOL, the 200mw claim is impossible based on his own PS reading and specs, the seller want's to show that the driver can regulate down from 4.3v in case you have a topped off li-ion battery but proving there is no way his product can meet the 200mw output.
Two 40-60mw modules one with a fake advertised output and 4 times the price.
If you think about a 1W dpss 532nm it will need at least a 4W 808 pump with efficient crystals, then there is the efficiency of the driver.
A single 18650 charged to 4.15v will do well if it's good quality to put out 4amps with very little drop into 1 ohm. " But not for long, just read the sustained discharge rate when you buy vs the max discharge rate. " I have only seen this with IMR/INR cells, even NCR's sag into 1 ohm and can't hold a 4a draw. Into a half ohm who knows, but wear your oven mits when you take it out.
A 1w 532 using only a single 18650 is asking a lot of that battery, it may do it but the battery is getting a workout, especially if it was designed before IMR/INR
Anyway I like beam quality, but a lot of these 532 have the lenses tuned to lighting a match and not infinity focus.
I'm ready to step up to the Direct single mode NDG 4216 and be done with the temperamental temperature problems and mode hopping, maybe a cyl corrected 7475 would be the better 1.25 w green HH, dpss as the power goes up gets tricky to keep happy. Yes I have a dozen surviving 532's but I have a box of about 100 dead ones. As for 5000hours LMAO Not Even Close! Not in HH in bench top yes.
In stage lighting/lightshow apps with TEC they do fine.
Just imagine the 808 pumping that 4w 532 Alaskan has for sale, it must be close to 20 watts.
