IMO...These are Dilda hosts that the company Susie deals with modifies/manufactures..

Would like to know where those 405nm diodes they use come from... :-? :-? :-?

That's nice - the host is good enough to fit other diodes into obviously.

I wonder why the blu ray is so expensive though, 80 mW sounds like a basic 803 diode taking it fairly easy. One problem is that it is difficult to feed those off 6 volts (7.2 works fine with my drivers), they must have rigged some kind of switching power supply... still, that doesnt explain $150.

Business is about profit. The people on this forum sell for a different reason than profit alone.

I was gonna post that but I thought everybody already knew about it. If its got something better then the 803T then its well worth the price.

I've seen this question asked before on a thread when those 120mW 405's came out at first she said I believe that she was going to ask the mani. Never seen a follow up thou.

Obviously, but the red and infrared pointers seem relatively cheap.

On the red, there is competition all over explaining the lower price, but the infrareds are hardly sold anywhere else but no more expensive. Only the blu ray costs considerably more, perhaps its just a novelty thing, though they are getting more common every day.

Now lets cram a green module in there :)

I'm looking to pick up my first high powered(ie not $6.00 model from the local 7-11) laser and heard from reading in here the Dildas were the descent thing for cheap power that aren't garbage. Do you guys think this one here you had linked "650 nm 200 mW " would be a good one for me to start out with? I'll have them ship the batteries and charger separate for the extra $4.00 bucks :)

Thanks for any advice you people here have for me and in the meantime I'll keep looking around this forum.

Yeah... the 200mW Red laser from O-like ( the Dilda) is a good starter burner...
but get some eye protection... 200mW of Red Laser can damage your eyes... :cool:

Thanks guys. I ordered it and I'll let you know how I like it once it comes in a couple of weeks. :D

I'm sure you'll enjoy it... its a huge upgrade from any lowcost zero-power laser you used before. Now go buy some matches to ignite when it arrives ;)
