Can't help but go for Blu, hell its my name after all. Plus I not that fond of yellow for some odd reason :thinking: Have you seen rog8811's or Jayrob's DIY $40 yellow build with a green/red mixed pointer?

I voted 473.

I think the color is prettier and more unique as well.

Not that true yellow lasers are common by any standard, but the color can be approached very well using red/green mixing, making it stand out much less.

I have not yet a laser at this wavelength (yellow) due to the excessive price, but I think it will be my next purchase since I really like this color :)

Wheres the alternative 488nm ? I love 488nm, 586-594nm are nice onee too.

488nm is not yet available in fully portable form (unless you make some kind of DIY transplant into a Herc-sized host or something... idk) so it's not an option. If it was then it would probably be my choice over the yellow (cyan = ultimate win)

Mixed yellow is not nearly as cool as pure yellow

word. this goes for basically all colors achieved by mixing lasers.

cmak,

Ya know, I didn't really see it coming either. I guess we yellow fans are just very vocal. :/
