Hi guys! I'll be starting off the year with a much needed review.
Over the past year I've been rebuilding my collection, and there was a point where I thought a 450nm should be next on the bucket list. I'm a bit tired of the superpowered diodes we have access to, so I wanted something more manageable... so after some consideration between a few diodes, I ultimately chose the PLT5 450B driven by the nano drive at 275mA
Then came the matter of the host... well, it was an easy pick to ask Rich (Lifetime17) for one of his creations
Gotta say I am very happy with it! The build quality is solid, and the sink looks pretty good. I also really like the focus adapter... I really wish I had some more...
Onto the actual laser, it's outputting about 300mW using a 3-element lens.
link to the full album here, I update these periodically
Review isn't too fancy or written out, but I'd like to end with a big thank you to Rich (Lifetime17) for the fantastic host! It's a pleasure ordering from you and I'll surely come to you for more in the future.
:thanks: for looking!
