Oh, I'm fine with thousands of hours Would aluminum be enough or should I pay Jayrob extra for copper? I wish I could do the same kind of thing and push more current through the PHR805T. Is that at all possible? It looks like I'd get about 300mW out of the LPC with 478mA. Would that beat the PHR805T?
Btw the lpc's are more forgiving than the phr's. If this is your first build, i would go for an lpc. You shouldnt push a phr much beyond 120mA. Happy lasing!
The people who make them do, bu they do not perform like these ones, the ones for red this company makes are crap. I would recommend getting them from somewhere else. Where are some cheap and good ones you ask? I dont know but if your willng to protect your eyes (you only get one pair) i would get some eaglewear glasses.
