I wonder why the blue 445s have the diode issues and the green 525s don’t so much. Just send Tinker an offer on one. They’re willing to work with you on price.

A couple clearer shots of the 4W green. Impressive especially when I think back to when I first sought to find the most powerful (50mW) 532 unit of the c2000 era. This is the first high-power handheld that strikes a bit of fear, and certainly respect, in me. Much like that of my Colt 45. In some...
