hmm sounds like the same debacle as on the green one (advertised 200mW, actual output +-80mW? that laser dropped in price btw)

Grix · 07-11-2009, 04:01 PM

This would be worth it even if the output is 80mW, right?

scopeguy20 · 07-11-2009, 04:15 PM

To me the big drawback is it looks like it's not focusable. -Glenn

Grix · 07-11-2009, 04:22 PM

Isn't that a focusing ring at the end?

LarryDFW · 07-11-2009, 05:53 PM

ideas;

I bought an adjustable Green 50mw built in the same housing, to do some lens testing.
The power was over 50mw and lens construction was shown on this thread:

Greens Can Indeed Burn

The lens is not ideal for 405nm, but I will disassemble it,
to see what is required to fit a better lens into the housing.

Yes it's focusable

Are you sure? It looks like the focusable green... but it doesn't have numbers on the top like the focusable one does. I thought it definitely was at first glance, but now I'm not too sure.

yobresal · 07-12-2009, 05:35 PM

yeah I'm sure

lasersbee · 07-13-2009, 01:57 AM

Have a look at the label... The lasers beam logo is printed in Green....
the last number of the wavelength is "2" (that couls very well be 532) ...
and the box cover says "Green Laser Pointer"

I highly doubt it is a "200mW Blue-Violet Laser"... for $58.85..

Just so you guys know, I purchased the "200mW violet laser" from focalprice as a guinee pig. The specs said 532nm, the box said green laser pointer, the warning label said 532nm but when I turned it on it was indeed violet although only 80mW of violet, pot moddable to higher power but a pain to get back together again. If anyone would like this host let me know. I have one sitting here collecting dust.

But have you cranked the pot up, then?

me me me pick me

yobresal · 07-13-2009, 03:18 PM

Yes, I cranked the pot up and it doubled in power. I am using the diode and driver for another build. And John I will sell the host to you for $15 shipped. I will also include a couple of dummy boards with buttons and springs already attached.

john_lawson · 07-13-2009, 04:01 PM

i will have to pass -i spoke too soon sorry money issues again

yobresal · 07-13-2009, 05:12 PM

No problem. I am sure I can find a use for it.

Oh, great! So this means you could get around 180mW of power for 59 bucks.

Show us the "other build" when you finish it, please

!

yobresal · 07-13-2009, 07:37 PM

In all likely hood it will be another spirograph build. Should be my most powerful yet though. I will have to test how well it performs at these powers over time.

Great, I'm interested in those results

yobresal · 07-13-2009, 08:26 PM

Awesome. I will let you know how it turns out.

yobresal · 07-16-2009, 03:29 PM

Okay Niko, I am not sure when or where it happened but the diode died. I have had it in my desk drawer at work for a while and it was working, then I brought it home last night in my backpack on my motorcycle but I just through it in there loosely (connected to the circuit board still with tape over the window) I am guessing that is where it died. Anyhow I desoldered it from the circuit board, trimmed back the long pins on the diode and installed it into an aixiz module, soldered the circuit board back on and installed it in the spirograph. All that came out was a wimpy little 5mW light. Needless to say I was pretty bummed. I had a spare PHR lying around so I swapped the diodes out and now the spiro is up and working well at 125mW. At least I got a driver and a host out of the deal. Still havent found a use for the host though.We will see. If I had a drill I could easily make a nice violet/red/ or IR out of it. All the focusing assembly is already there. It would be a simply slide the module in and epoxy it is place kinda job.

ideas · 07-17-2009, 10:18 PM

I also purchased one, I liked the host on the green one so much, I wanted a matching set lol

60$ for a 80mW in a pretty host aint a bad deal

That sucks, man. Maybe it was a weird temperature change. At least you can replace it with a 6x or better.

Guess we'll have to wait 'till DX finally gets a winner like the Dilda but on bluray.

Darkarmyofone · 07-23-2009, 04:08 PM

You still got that host bro?

PM me

yobresal · 07-23-2009, 06:18 PM

I don't feel like reading this entire thread, are you still offering to sell that host?
