    Yeah, it's plenty of blue, I was just looking for a less purple/violet shade of blue .. more like 460nm-ish.

    I see three options:

    Cheap way: Mix in some 532

    Medium prized way: Get some 450-452nm binned diodes instead

    Expensive way: Mix in some 473

    Cheap way; Done.
    Medium way; I wish I knew where ??
    Expensive way.. I have a 473 80mw .. just too big for my current build and it's down on power (I believe a common problem w 473s) .. plus not enough power, and you're right, way too expensive for higher powers,
    .. and another way .. gas ion .. got 2.. way too big and power hungry
    Thx for the input Thomas !
    Cheers!

    I agree with the cheep way. The medium way: I have energized upwards of 40 of these and in all of those there have been zero dead ( at first ), a few funky/distorted far field patterns that I put in a " when you want to poop balloons drawer", but no visually distinct color variations. The monochromator spread of the ones I have measured has been within 5 nm.
