Most powerful green handheld?

[GR3EN]

520 is definitely my favorite by far. My 1.3w is my baby. You won't be disappointed and definitely post some pics.

I think it's kinda dishonest to say a diode laser's power is it's peak, which only lasts for the first second or so. for example, all the powers of the lasers listed in my sig are what the meter says after about 20 seconds, I think it's a better representation of it's actual power

Try to beat my record with that 520:

Then you´ll see the difference when it comes to divergence

I was talking about the balloons, thats why i said divergence...

1.83w 520nm

The reading maxed on your TEC LPM after about 1min on, which means it must have peaked over 1.9W. AFAIK that's impossible with these diodes, specially considering how you're burning stuff at point blank range (which fucks up your lens very quickly).

The only reasonable conclusion is that your LPM is not properly calibrated...

(no offense meant, just stating the facts)

UPDATE: The seller (who is reputable) say's it peaked at 1.75W but settled at 1.63W after a minute. He tested it on 4 different calibrated ophir heads so I will go with his readings. My LPM is a radiant x4 with a damaged thermopile so it isn't exactly the best... The laser is very bright but honestly a bit dissapointing, I think there is a brightness limit where you can't really see the difference in power anymore, it only seems about as bright as the 3.5W 445nm that I used to have indoors however outdoors it surpasses the 445nm easily. The beam is visible in bright daylight but just barely and only if you look at it just right. I would like to sell it/trade it for a Laser glow Aries or Hercules but I'm not going to bother posting in the BST board right now, however if you have an offer feel free to let me know :beer:.

That laser does not look like 1.5W of 532nm, it's not nearly bright enough. Either your LPM is off or it's mostly IR.

:tired: Had that discussion too many times before.
You can search for my build, it is without IR and my Ophir LPM is on :na:

I don't own the video. That wasn't mine anyway.

It's toutan video. Maybe there something imprecise with his LPM or it just a very very efficient diode. Who knows
