Yeah my filter is likely reflecting some percent instead of transmitting it.

I measured 10mW with my own IR cut filter on my original Valkyrie 573nm, and 20mW without the filter. My IR cut filter isn't perfect so take it only as a rough estimate.

There's a guy I watched a video of the other day who tried overdriving a similar Nichia array:

It's really all dependent on the diode. DTR has a lot of tests on here where he pushes them far past what they were intended to do. But depending on the diode, you might kill it in 5 minutes or 5 years. It's a gamble.

Looks great! Can't wait to buy one soon!

Hey Mike! Glad to hear I have fellow active members here in Utah. I live in the suburbs of Salt Lake City.

I'm a computer geek and software engineering nerd from Utah. My username online has always been andrewProgrammer (since at least 2007), but you can call me Andrew for short. I came up with that name when I was young and first getting serious into writing software, mostly Flash games at the time...

I'm assuming the 405nm is multimode?

Mine just showed up :cool: Beautiful host and quality build. A very amazing color! My eyes are often drawn to the tiny amount of green in it unless I put it next to a shorter wavelength laser. Here's an image of #EAFF00 (~573nm, which is accurate to my eyes+monitor) vs #FFFF00 (~580nm, 50% red...

Definitely want to see a mint green 505nm in real life. There are so many wavelengths these days, they're reinvigorating the hobby.

These are amazing!!! And I love the host! I'll definitely be making this my next purchase.

I like the idea of that MXDL 3W host. Maybe I'll have to get back into doing some DIYs...

I wouldn't mind a side button if it had a shelf for the driver/button PCB or something to similar effect. But so many of these are just free-floating PCBs inside the tube and if the buttons don't break, then it's the diode pins that snap off... Even then, though, 1 of my 4 Laserglow Anser/Libra...

What I personally want more of are quality low-ish power (5mW to 50mW) pen-style lasers with tailcap buttons (the side buttons on pen-style hosts break too easily and feel cheap). My favorite example is the Z-Bolt BTE-4S (pictured below) but what I really want is that same style in a <50mW blue...

Count me in for a 57Xnm laser! Also, any plans to put the 561nm in your CNI-style host? I just bought your 593.5nm in the CNI-style and now I want more colors :)

Count me in for a GB, too. I'm still waiting on my two I ordered from Freeman just like everyone else, but I'm sure I'm going to want more so I can make some handhelds.

What kind of power supply will I need to run one of these? Just a couple 6V batteries or do I need a variable power supply? What kind of power supply are you guys all using for these? What a time to be alive. 490nm diodes and cheap 575nm DPSS all in this short amount of time. Haven't been...

Re: CLOSED: Taking payments ROUND 4!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! I came home from work, and I was excited to see that my lasers had been delivered. However, after further inspection, it seems that I was shipped Arshus's order by accident! His three HL's and gifts were contained in the...

Re: CLOSED: Taking payments ROUND 4!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! :paypal: Thanks!

Re: OPEN: Taking orders ROUND 4!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! Hey, offroadfreak8582, I hate to have to do this, but could you take the HL808 - 1000mW off my order? I just realized that I don't have the money to buy that laser (and the proper googles that I'd have to get to go with it)...
