K. I'm not in a hurry but just wanted to make sure there was still one for me. I don't know how many others have s3en my testing on them but my last build was over 400mW and I chickened out testing mine any higher because I wanted to be able to build with it. For all I know it could hit class 4 although I would be shocked if it did.
The point is that it has great divergence and if you want a really great divergence strong blue this is a great choice and the price is good. If you originally wanted to see if you would get a low bin diode and you can't tell the difference or yours isn't you can crank up the output for a really nice beam and dot. My testing says they can output more than the PL and PLP450 and I own both of those too. If I was working I would buy one to see what they could take. When my next one comes I'll see what it looks like in comparison to my 200 and 400mW ones in color and if I can't really tell maybe I'll take the chance and push the test more and take the chance of blowing it. Seems like more and more diodes can take more abuse and not all of a sudden blow.
