Sharp GH04955A2G/ The New 495nm diodes

[paul1598419]

@Paul,
Failed as in the diode is LeD? :O

No, no. Failed as in host sections still have too much paint on threads on battery tube section. I have repaied all and took photos, so thread coming very soon.

I think I'll have mine made tonight. He offered to help if I helped him out with some ethernet cabling. By the time we were finished it was already 11pm and we didn't want to work with small electronics that late.

In the meantime, I'm looking forward to your thread Paul!

Thanks. About to load it in a few minutes.

Hi,
Here's brass 495nm / 1-14500 host i just built .

Very nice host and great color rendition. My thread has been submitted. Hope it pops up soon. Thank you, Rich. :yh:

Looking good, Rich!
I really like that last pic with the beam and it's reflection on the granite; nice!

Hi,Thanks guys ,Paul finally completed his 495 build and it came out awesome a truly great job. The Granite reflects the beam in the daylight , took most of the day to machine the host let alone the electronics . But well worth the wait.

Got mine up and running!

I'll post tomorrow. Way too late here tonight...

Good for you, Zach. Can't wait to see what yours looks like. :yh:

HI Z,
Yes don't forget want to see your rendition of the 495.

Built a couple 495nm units yesterday. Haven't put them on a meter yet but the leadlight is set around 80mA and the Palide host (1x 14500) is set to 225mA. Interesting color for sure! I'm ready for the next wavelength now.

Nice! You should have something else new coming in the mail today or tomorrow as well

Sweet, what drivers are you using?

Hi ,
DTR nano drivers set to 275ma for the 495,505 and the 480 BM diodes

Not sure what he's using for 225mA, maybe blitz?

I know the 80mA leadlight is using the micro flex

Those are nice, styropyro. What lens are you using, and do you see a rectangular artifact in the dot of the beam's profile? It is an unusual color.
