1) Safe current for phr is 100-115ma... you can push it a bit more if you really want to (proper heat sinking is required, pushing it will also cause the diode to degrade ober time and shorten the lifespan of the diode!). Safe current for LOC (I assume you are using a LOC) is around 400-420ma (correct me if I'm wrong)

2) Yes darklasers sells the 50mw module! not sure if in stock! check it out or talk to Darkarmyofone

Hope that helped! -Adrian

^ Yes the currents you stated are correct from what i know of.

However when you go about building one of these lasers you may end up having to throttle back one or two of them in order to get the correct color balance. When i made my "white" laser the green and the red had to be turned down a little so they didn't wash out the violet

I listed all of my settings and power measurements in the thread...

As well as diodes and lenses used. (which green module too)

I made a high power one, and a low power one. You can see the specs (with a link to the lower power one as well) here:
