Sorry to say but outside of these diodes, and the diodes I'm working with for a member on PL, there won't be anymore for this price.

These were from a VERY small pool of diodes. I know of all 3 sources, and when they're gone, they're gone.

If you want one, I'd get it now, or else you will be SOL.

What about that cool single-diode carrying case? :san:

Finished editing the video! It's uploading to YouTube now..

It's unfortunate that there will not be anymore of these. These really are incredible and the color is the best! Too bad DPSS 473nm has to be in sucy bulky hosts because this is my favorite color.

I used a drop of hot glue to hold the lens in place, and then I pressed the cap over it.

Ah, and the hot glue doesn't release any vapors? That's what I was worried about. Epoxy worked for me though so never got around to trying hot glue.

It's never been a problem for me! Just make sure the hot glue "strings" don't touch your lens.

I wish they had a shutter in the front of the hot glue guns so I wouldn't have strings all over the place... :p

I guess I'll be SOL then. No extra cash at the moment. Maybe the next best thing would be to win the lottery then pay Nichia to make another batch at higher power. :whistle:

HAHA! When I win the Lotto I will have some SICK diodes made specifically for us. 476nm, 488nm, 505nm, 589nm, and 612nm, yup. We would be rocking a full rainbow of 1W TO-18 diodes for sure. You guys can hold me to that when I win BTW :wave:
