now imagine that the poor guy that found this diodes(me) didnt buy the last one that was still available because didnt had the money,and now you offering 300 for it :cryyy:

It was just an offer buddy I knew he wouldn't take it, there have been many new diodes pop up that I first stumbled upon and posted here, if u wanted it so bad and you were the first to spot them then u could have asked a friend to buy the second one for you or borrowed some money, I'm not sure who posted the thread but ebay is there for everyone. And we'll I missed out also sir!

Well to be fair, I am not offering the diode; I plan to build something with it.

I have some good news for you Zach, I couldn't post this pic in PM but this is a vape lion battery and it will fit perfectly in your host similar to a 18650 but thinner! I'm not sure the number of the bat I'll try find out.

It's a 16650!

Re: new Sharp 495nm diode

The number is a 17650; I have one ordered already :)

Thanks though

Re: new Sharp 495nm diode

Oh. Well at least it shouldn't be too late to cancel. Width on those is 0.3mm less wide but the host is a very tight fit as is so probably a good idea...

Re: new Sharp 495nm diode

I haven't had time, and still don't currently, to search through the rest of this thread, but if anyone hasn't already pointed it out, the same seller has the 488nm diode for sale as well. $900, but at least it seems to be more easily accessible than before.

Re: new Sharp 495nm diode

With sharp suddenly coming out with the 480nm and the 505nm diodes out of nowhere, it isn't too far fetched for me to believe something in the middle of that came out too. I only bought one so worst case I lose 78 bucks. If it isn't real, I'll see about doing an RMA.

Re: new Sharp 495nm diode

CNI received my diode today, we will find out if it's real in a day or two.

Anyone else think the original listing might be a mistake? If it's too good to be true, it might just be that exactly. Let's not have one of these situations again: http://laserpointerforums.com/f40/holy-100-488nm-diode-98220.html

...Where instead you end up with a batch of 425nm diodes :eek:
If it wasn't an error listing, that sure is one hell of a deal.

Man, I remember that. What a fiasco! Hope this doesn't turn out that way.

@ Dr.Laser
I hope to have a total for shipping to the three places you need these diodes sometime today. They should go out by Wednesday at the latest.

Re: new Sharp 495nm diode

My 495 just departed a new York USA facility... meaning I should have the diode this weekend! Hopefully I can throw it into a c6 or something for the time being.

If cni doesn't test dr lasers by the time I have mine, at the very least I can give visual confirmation if its between 488 and 502nm.

495 should be a very nice wavelength, luck you! :wave:

Re: new Sharp 495nm diode

I'll be looking forward to that 495nm build in the next week or so, Zach. I would love to see a direct diode laser at that WL. I wonder how it will look in person as it won't look the same on my monitor, I'm sure.

Re: new Sharp 495nm diode

Hopefully I can get pictures/reviews of everything up this weekend. This diode should be at my door Friday. I'm very much so looking forward to what this will look like.

And paul - someday I'll send this one out your way to measure. Maybe when I get the 488 built I'll send everything a week or so after. 2 months ish is my guess, 488 is getting something pretty big.
