Whats your groove?

[Livinloud]

THATS what im talking about!

Did a quick LPM test on mine and i was stunned....... 2.65W with what i was told was a 3 element lens :drool: Im going to test that with what i know is a G2 and a 9mm lens to see if it really is a 3 element or if I got a nice bonus with my purchase (advertised as a 2W w/ 3 element)

i bought one of moh's gitd grooves before his sell off. at first i had a microboost installed set at about 750mA. i had problems with the driver overheating even at this current. my output was over a watt tho telling me i had scored a pretty good diode. i was digging through my laser stuff and found an x-drive a few days ago. it was putting out 1.6A so i decided to put it into my groove. it's doing 2.15W now with a 3 element lens and i'm happy. here's a couple of my pics. i'm photographic challenged if you can't tell.

i had a smooth 2 years ago and killed 2 12x 405 diodes trying to build into it. figured it was telling me something. so i auctioned it off here and donated the proceeds to the forum. daguin wound up with it.

Nice diode. Mine is doing 2.6W with god knows what Dave put in it. 3 element lens too!!!! I want to throw the G2 or 9mm lens on it but i just had surgery and cant get the dang adapter off the lens with my surgery arm so ill just have to wait.....could be 6 more weeks since i need to go back under

Is that blue and green GITD on the tube or weird reflections?

 

[Tmack]

I think offroadfreak did do a multiple color GITD on that one

 

[grainde]

^^^ Blue and Cyan (or Aqua - same colour, diff name.). :beer:

Hey gismo! Awesome pics! Yeah that was one with both blue and cyan GITD. And a nice 3W beam offcourse :beer:

In real life the cyan looks bluish instead of green. I also have actual green GITD which is super bright!

Greetings,,

As stated by others above, blue and cyan they were, indeed. The way the DSLR captured the mirror reflected groove line gives an impression of about 500nm usage.

Another through-the-glass GITD Kryton look (taken weeks and weeks back when product reviewed).
