Spectro-ing the new Nichia 1.4W "462nm-470nm" NDB7675

[IWIRE]

I fired up my diode today in a temporary lab housing just to finally see it ... and ... WOW!!!!!

SpecTACULAR!!!

I do not have a multimode ~445 to compare to, just my SM ~450, but WOW. It made the SM look PURPLE! I am buying an M140 RIGHT NOW just to have the two side-by-side. This is remarkable. I cannot wait to place this is a permanent host

Honestly reminded me of 473. Just wish I had a 473 to compare it to ... That will change Tuesday

That's cool ! Glad you got it fired up !
It still amazes me the way it makes a 445 look purple.
Another member explained it to me but I still find it amazing.

I already have two of these diodes, though one's hitting 472nm at the current I'm gonna run it at. 1.8W+ 472nm sounds like a good idea. Other's gonna be run low in a smaller host.

Might consider picking up a 445 again to compare properly.
