Re: Holy @#$%... $120 488nm diode!!

Yeah I am planning on selling more stuff. You'll see a thread pretty soon...I need to ship a couple lasers out first though. Gonna dump my 5W c-mount red, some ehgemus hosts, random BW tek labby parts, and some more crap.

And to keep on topic...like others have said 488nm is beautiful. It would make the prettiest pointer IMO...I'll probably get a few and drop them into leadlights assuming these pan out. Unfortunately I can't find microboost drives anymore...so that limits my pen building!!

If this does work out, would you be willing to sell me one of those leadlight builds? As it stands I probably can't trust myself to make a pen build yet :p

Assuming this is legit and all, I would be down for one.

Also, if the seller said £75 for the price, the current conversion rate (1:1.3) would make it $98 USD.

However, as with all new diodes, there are no guarantees.

Remains to be seen what the price will be on the Proforma invoice they are sending DTR.

Hope for everyone's sake it is the low price.

Thanks Matt. I have no idea how I got $120 in the first place. :confused:

488 diode would definitely be worthy of a new build, Dave!

Its been a few years on my end

Awesome to see that the price is legit, if they're advertising it as that diode and giving the spec sheet, it probably is. Now to wait for the verification and for DTR to start selling.

The wait is gonna kill me :banghead:

ts funny how new WL and diodes bring people out of the woodwork. Ide love to see a beam in the fog of this color!! or even include it in a rgbb pj build

edit.. what is the range for bounce/pass dichro for blue?

This image H2Oxide posted actually is a reasonable representation of the colour - at least on my monitor.

My camera doesn't do it justice:

Will depend on the dichro - may be able to angle tune for best efficiency too. Might end up with another custom dichro GB if these are popular... :D
