Solarforce L2E Build w/M462 (Pic Heavy)

Think about the triple barrel head sticking out of a gooseneck style build...and...........With a (((( THUMB SWITCH )))) Yes.

Do you still have that older (or any other) M462 build(s) that you can compare the color with?

I finally got a chance to do a side by side with my other M462 build today.
The colors look real similar to me, I don't think the wavelength is too much different between the two.

Top - Current L2E build
Bottom - T2 build

I also did a LPM re-check today verify that the unusually high readings would repeat. I obtained pretty much the same readings as last week, here's a couple pics of the readings with the G-2 & G-3 lenses.

Nice beams, I will always love the blues. :)

I also like the G3, I use it with the 3X beam expander for a quick way to extend the useful working range, they also make a sharper focused spot than the 3E as seen through laser safety glasses especially at night when there's no bright sunlight to drown out the 3E spherical aberrations.
 
I think the wavelength shift needs to be great at these wavelengths before you will notice a change in color. In fact, it is likely that 20nm is not enough to see a change here. That has been my experience, anyway.

What ???
I can see the difference between 445nm and 455nm very clearly and between 445nm and 465nm it's night and day.
 
I wonder if what you are seeing is different power levels and not a change in color. There is a slight difference between my 445nm and 465nm lasers at the same power, but it isn't great.

No it's not a total output issue because a NUBM44 doing 7w compared to a NUBM07 doing 4w and the 07 looks much brighter, that is it's a much lighter color blue.
 
My 465nm 1.8 watt laser is brighter than my 2.2 watt 445nm laser, but the color is close to the same....at least to my eyes and my camera.
 
Awesome unique build. That is stunning with 1.8A hitting over 2.5W. Can't think of one I have noted myself or seen reported/posted about that had that kind of efficiency.

I got lucky with finding these and am pretty sure they were never out there for any of the resellers in the market as my stock was grabbed off a company I do some bushiness with using them in a product they produced.

Never got any official details for obvious reasons but it is clearly a Osram diode as far as I could tell identical construction and beam specs to the PLTB450B so might have been the high wavelength bin of that production.

Anyway been a while without some available to grab so loosing faith I will see anymore which is a bummer as had quite a few customers that used them exclusively for their light show projectors.:(
 
So the M462 was an Osram diode, very interesting and I can see why projector makers would like it. :)
 
If you ever decide to have another sale on Amazon, Jordan, I would like to get at least one more from you. I have yet to use the one I have, but I should have purchased more than just the one. ;)
 
Thanks Jordan! :)

I agree with Paul, if you should happen to come across any more of these M462's, I'd be in for a few. 🤞
 
I noticed DTR has some 7875 and 7A75 diodes up for sale, if you want some you better get them while they last.
 
Thanks Red, I might have to pick up a couple of those 7875's before they are gone, and maybe a 7A75 too.
I hadn't realized that the 7875's were discontinued.
 
Well....Gotta consider my options !!! Maybe a NUBM07.....WITH the can left on....and a G2....downbeam….to be able to focus to infinity !!!

Is that the way we do this ???? Can on + G2 to focus ???. I would strongly prefer to NOT have to throw a set of C-Lenses in the mix !!!

Next problem....finding a Boost driver...to feed the 07 with ONE (1) 18650 !!!

Why always the most difficult path !!! Is this SOOooooo much to ask !!! Small, Tight and 465nm !!!...….

ANY thoughts are MOST welcome ....Sorry for the Hijack BTG !!!!!! I will start a different thread....BUT....YOU are responsible for lighting THIS fuse....your build is the inspiration !!!
