Welcome back! Can't wait to hear more about new projects!!!

Is it too late to get in on this?

Here's my honest experience. I own 5 of his lasers, with 2 more on the way. The closest thing to a problem I've had is one time I had to wait a few extra weeks when my order never got scanned by USPS (and presumably they lost it) and he didn't have any more in stock. He messaged me back about it...

Sad to hear. Miss you, Hak.

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.
