New review: Wicked Lasers PhosForce Laser-To-Flashlight Converter

[The_LED_Museum]

BTTT: Performed spectroscopy of the PhosForce when white light was shone into it from the "wrong" end to show the prescence of a dichroic filter.

Great review, as always! Thanks a lot.

Would love to see this on my 3.5W 445.

I think we need to take these apart and figure out how to make them ourselves for a fraction of the cost, and fit to our own lasers.

Very cool review, thanks.

^^^ @Tonny T ^^^

The "hack" that is described is not necesary at all; the dichroic filter that this man suggested has been spectrographically proven to already exist in the product.

 

[ricktrent4]

did you find out how to make one?

thanks Rick Trent

I have some strips of remote phosphor (used with royal blue LEDs) and shone my 445 at it. got a bright white light. Thinking of making a table lamp with it

ricktrent4 I totally agree! it could be revolutionary. Plus, us hobbiests can make the same stuff as large manufacturers and still be cheaper :wave::na:

You might could play around with just taking a premade LED flashlight and focusing the laser on the LED die, to a spot smaller than the LED, but not so power-dense that it fries the phosphor.

BTTT: Performed intensity measurements using my 2 Watt S3 Spyder Arctic G2 445nm Blue Laser w/SmartSwitch™ (Po= 2,500+mW) and added a new beam terminus photograph.
