Merged 445nm Pictures and Video Thread

Nice! Also for those of you waiting for your glass lens DO NOT USE a plastic one in the mean time. I just ruined a diode because of my inpatients. Well it wasn't completely ruined but it became very hazy and the spot looked like hell. I try to decan the diode and clean the die but I managed to kill it. The diode is not replaced and the new one is doing 1300mW so I am happy but take warning. PLASTIC LENSES WILL RUIN YOUR DIODE.

Styropyro also killed his with an acrylic lens from the back reflection :(
 
Its a lie for my case. I did a max of 1090mA on mine for 3 mins multiple times a day, acylic lens which wasn't even clean, and it didn't melt. My diode is clear and fine...

well thank goodness, I'm gonna stop using mine though.
 
Hope y'all like videos. :D lol Before you ask. Yes, my lasers turn green in the dark :crackup: The green in the video comparing them is 25mw. The last one is my favorite.

How bright are these compared to green lasers? Say... How much mw of green is needed to match the brightness of 600mw of 445nm?

read just about any thread in here and you will find your answer. I didn't answer your question, because reading = knowledge = safety

edit: ossumguywill was nice enough to tell you.
 
lol, I would have told him the same thing a while ago but all these threads are getting SO long I don't think anyone should be expected to crawl through the thousands of posts to find a simple (non-safety related) answer.
 
This should give you an idea... Left to right. 790mw 445, 450mw 405, 20mw 532, 200mw 655, and 530mw 445.
Need a high power green :(.

I just assumed because these things are relatively new, someone would tell me if I asked.
