Will do. Thought I already asked this but what is the current at which the NUBM0f runs at normally without being considered overdriven, and by how much are lifespan and duty cycle reduced by overdriving by say 1 amp, 2 amp etc.?

Yes, I do.

Ok. So I have decided to go with the NUBM0F. What will I need besides the diode? Let me know if I am missing anything: Module + Heatsink OR Module/Heatsink like the DTR copper ones. G8 Lens Driver Diver pill (not sure if this is the case for every build and host, the m140 build I had...

The NDB7Y75 is sounding REALLY nice but the price is quite high sadly, as with the NUBM0C and 0G, compared to the NUBM44-V2 and NUBM0F......why do I see no builds made with it? It seems like the perfect diode unless i'm missing something.....

Very info-rich response. Thank you sir. Few questions: 1. How does the NUBM0C compare to the NUBM0G? 2. How does the NUBM44-V2 compare to the NUBM0F? (These are less expensive and that may have to take priority for me over the bluer wavelength ones above)....and while we're at it to the...

@RedCowboy Gotcha. Any downsides to the 07 over the 7A75? Otherwise I will very likely go with it as the 465nm is just so pretty to me. Thanks for all the help thus far. I really appreciate it.

@RedCowboy Ah, I see. So it's not as simple as I had initially hoped. Pardon me, I had forgotten you'd mentioned the NDB7a75. This is seeming like the best choice for me but I see it rated at 3.5 w...how much would pushing it to 5 take off it's life? I see there's an NDB7y75 rated for 5w but...

Looking to understand this concept of divergence better. I see it expressed in different ways. Could somebody explain how I can understand how to read the divergence in the data sheets. These are clearly different units right? Also why does negative divergence seem to be declared for the...

Why NDB7875 over the more powerful NDB7A75? Is the divergence worse on the latter? If divergence is equal and the latter is more powerful, how would you compare an NDB7A75 with a g2 to a NUMB0E or 0F with a G-8 or 3E lens? Also, where do the g3 and g7 lenses stand in all this?

I would say it would be multi-use at this point as I need to repair my M140 pointer and its "carcass" is abroad at the moment. Are there any diodes of similar power outputs for similar prices with better divergence? How bad are we talking on these with a G-2 and how much better would the...

Are you implying there's no downside to the non-recanned diode? I read somewhere on this forum that the measured output with the ball lens was significantly lower compared to that of the recanned one (due to dispersion? absorption?) The ones with the ball lens are significantly less expensive...

These guys.

Ok, so I think I'd rather be better off using something more efficient as I seem to understand this is better for heat control. Please correct me if I am wrong. I also do care about having a good duty cycle on my laser. (All cooling will be passive in module/heatsink form) I have found the...

Hello all, don't recall if I have ever made an account on this forum, but if not this is my first post. 10-12 years ago I put together an m140 pointer using the SurvivalLaser host kit. I am now looking to make my next build. I really cannot afford to buy a nubm08 or 44, and would technically...
