Looking for compatable laser housing?

[Skwoz821]

I am interested in buying "1.3W 520nm NDG7475 Laser Diode In Copper Module W/X-Drive & DTR-G-2 Glass Lens" from ebay.
Would you recommend buying this?
Secondly, will it work with the "C6 Host Assembly"?

I'd thought I'd get someone's opinion before spending $200.
Many Thanks!!

Skwoz, that C6 host is way to small to run a 1W+ 520.
You can but these greens run so hot you won't get more 20 than seconds of run time without putting the diode in danger.
I know your new but really take a look at member Lifetime17 hosts. Everyone will vouch for him.. He can mod a bigger flashlight with a heatsink and leave you 2 wires to just hook up to DTR's module assembly. Very nicely priced..
Or you can upgrade to SL SX4 option.

Thank you for the insight, I really appreciate it!

Copper would be the best material to use for a 1+ watt green direct diode host. But, those can be quite expensive so a large aluminum one could work well for you. I used an MS-SSW-II host for a 520nm 1100 mW build. They are no longer available, but it shows how well large aluminum heat sinks work with these diodes.

Hi,
Here is a 2X18350 back powder coated host with a NDG7475 diode for sale. And if you like you can have the option of a beam expander included .
