Ok yep ill do that. If you know of any other modules Im happy to have a look but Im hoping not to break my budget of $40-50 (35 for the host and battery charger etc) yes I have a DMM and I have some experience with soldering. Any other suggestions for design or better options would be...

I know that its not as visible but I still like having different colors. 405 isn't blue, it is more violet your right, sorry.

Ok ill give it ago but, will they last long or will they burn out after a few months or so? Edit I was also thinking of getting a blue module aswell and see which is my favourite for this build and the other for another build later on, but I don't know how good the blue 405nm modules are like...
