That work? Was also wondering about those double diode 445nm. I've sent you an email already and I just want to make sure I'm still in line for one of these. Thanks Rick!

That's such an insanely good price I am tempted to buy one even though I already have a DominatoR. Must Resist.

Dual cube 445nm's - really sick

Got my dual cube 'Borg' today. Nicely packaged and fast shipping. Rick has really done a nice job on this build. The combined beams are metered at 6.2W, so not lacking power.

Host has the typical low, med, high, and pulse capability. Not sure if the pulse will impact the drivers, but it works nicely to clear away spider webs in the carport. As is typical of the 445's the beam is an "I", Rick has oriented the two diodes so when combined, they come out as a ' + ". It takes all of 5 mins to get the focusing down for the two beams to line up. Because the beams are set so close together, the convergence of the + keeps them touching over a 12" to 16" focus distance, if you need to set a new distance, less than a minute to adjust.

Here's a shot of the build in the hallway on low and aiming at some white foam board. I thought the white would allow me enough time to set up to take a photo. Not the case, it burned through in less than 5 seconds at a distance of 14 feet. And one of the white foam board where you can almost see the + burn.

Nice build, thanks Rick for fun experimenting to come, very pleased with your product !
