Hello everyone, my name is Paul and i live in Melbourne AUS. I have just finished my first build, adding a 445 to my collection. Its set at 900ma - dont know the output since i dont have a meter yet but i'm guessing its close to 900mw?? thanks to jayrob for supplying this great little host

http://laserpointerforums.com/f64/fs-solarforce-l2p-kit-18650-host-massive-heatsink-53746.html

(so easy to put together even for a beginner like myself, took about 10 minutes) and thanks to daguin for supplying the LD. here are some pics of my toys...

the 900mw (approx??) 445 and a 450mw greenie from ebay, using some smoke to get better beam shots in daylight. sorry about the poor quality photos, i had to try take them without exposing my eyes to the reflection, i have no safety goggles for the 445 yet...

Also can someone please explain why in a few photos and most videos of the 445 it appears blue, but in most photos and to the naked eye it looks purple?

Oh and i'm not sure if you can tell from the photos but i have the clear glass cover that came with the original host installed to prevent dust going into the lens, i'm guessing this might drop the output a few mw? is there any other problems that could arise using this?

Hey welcome!

It all depends on the camera, some cameras pick 445nm as purple or blue or both. This is also the case with eyes. I see 445nm as blue, while my brother sees it as purple-ish blue. Also cameras pick up 405nm better than the human eye.

Hi limewire161, i live on the other side of town, in Burwood.
If you happen to see a green or blue lasing the night sky around Melbourne, likely it will be me.
Harassing the stars is about all i can do with these lasers, until i get a good set of goggles...
