I am considering selling my high power 445nm laser.
It was fun for a while, but I am building something less powerful for casual use.

I am asking $255 shipped USPS priority with delivery confirmation to USA.
Price without hi-power lens will be $199. Offers may be considered.

This laser will peak over 1W if it is in cooler temperatures.
The diode is temperature sensitive. However, it should maintain >900mW for 2 mintues continuous use no problem. Cooler operating temperatures are ideal.
It is an A130 diode set ~1A (I set it at 1A and adjusted it for highest power and best stability, so I do not have an exact measure) with a MicroBoost driver. The components are contained and sealed inside the heatsink module, however, if lower power is desired, I can set it lower and seal it back up.
Total use on the diode is around 3 or 4 hours.
______________________________
Some specs:
Diode: A130 @ ~1A
Lens: LarryDFW Hi-Power 405nm
Output power: ~980mW
Host: Cree A10B; matte black enamel coated
Battery: 1X 18650
Heatsink: Solid brass machined by Flaminpyro
Recommended Duty cycle: 2 minutes on; 2 minutes off
Current draw from battery: ~2.4A
Note: I can make this laser water resistant. This would remove the ability to focus it, however. The window will reduce power ~8%, give or take a few. This laser will still burn when focused to infinity.
Also, I can take $56 off the asking price if you would rather me ship it with an Aixiz acrylic/no lens for someone who would rather use an Aixiz 445 glass. Power will be ~15% less with Aixiz acrylic. In this case, about 150mW less.

Keep in mind, I reserve the right to be picky about potential buyers.
