Hey Everyone! I've come to the conclusion, I'm a wavelength guy definitely, not a burn everything the light touches guy :p

Anyway, I have a build of mine I've had for a while.

A 445 nm laser.

It's about 900 mW, from what I've measured using my homemade LPM. (I've gotten it calibrated so yes it's accurate). It's using an E-drive set to about 800 mA, if I remember right, and using a 3-element aixiz lens.

I'm thinking it's a slightly high efficiency diode, just barely. It's an A-140 diode too, by the way, pressed into a 5.6 mm copper module. Runs off of a 18500 battery (which I'll include).

It's also a side switchy so I don't know if that may attract anyone to it. It DOES have some slight wear on it, nothing ridiculous though.

I'm looking to get about $80 for it... It's a great laser, and has basically infinite duty cycle due to the chunky heatsink it's using, and the copper module.

Alternatively I'll be interested in trades too.


Thanks for perusing. :)

Is this still available?, if so does it come with batteries and carrying case

Yes, sorry for taking so long to respond. It comes with a battery, but no carrying case. It's pretty small so it could fit potentially in a pocket if you so please.

Would I be able to extract it to put it into another host? Or is it snug fit in there?

Out of curiosity, why would you want to extract anything from it? It's a working laser...

Well, it's set in the heatsink via a set screw, so it's just a matter of unscrewing that and desoldering leads and stuff... So, no, it's not hard to take apart at all.

Well, are you interested in it, or were you just curious? :p

Yet Another price drop; I looked around and realized that my initial pricing was rather high, so hopefully $80 is fair. Shipping's gonna cost $5.15 for a small flat rate box in the USA.
