Hi all,
It's already a year ago since I visited LPF.
But I was suprised to see the existence of the 445nm Handhelds (which is completely new for me)
My first thought was... I must have one.
First of all, a 1000mW handheld sounds very nice (especially for the relatively low price)
And second, the wavelength fits perfectly with my other 3 lasers (132mw 405, 98mw 532 and 200mw 650)
But reading all the info is a little confusing.
I like to have the highest power possible (but stable and reliable) so it must be at least 1W.
For burning I think it needs to be focussable (because of the large beam diameter)
But the focussable 445nm lasers (like the Arctic and Rayfoss are actually 700mW)
I think the build and output of the DL Spartan seems the best for me but unfortunately it cannot be focussed.
Building it myself is no option either.
What should I do?
Are there accessories I can use to make the Spartan focussable without the need to dismantle it?
Or maybe someone who has a focussable 445nm 1W+ for sale?
And finally, will my Nova OD6 goggles give enough protection for burning experiments with this Class4 laser?
Thanks.
