Nice to see new faces lining up for the GB.
PL has way more heatsinking than the HL so if you are interested in long run times it's the way to go. From what I've seen from the last GB and my personal experience, don't assume the PL will have more output vs. the HL for the same mw rating. What you get is what you get (either one is likely to be way overspec though);)

If you want some serious 405nm output >500mw for cheap, buy the $100 one from Lazerer. Wouldn't run it even as long as it's rated duty cycle though or it be dead real quick. Ultra crappy heatsinking and there are a ton of those units in the laser graveyard. Haven't broken mine yet as I wouldn't run it past 10 seconds. Actually thinking of taking it apart and putting the module in a different unit. You will immediately know just how crappy the unit is by how little it weighs. I've got pen lasers that weigh more!:crackup:

Please add a HL650- 300mW to my order and some difraction caps.
Also any chance one could get the 520 in the PL host like in the last group buy (obviously paying extra)

I wanted to get one from Lazerer but the my-laser-died reviews made me think twice. Kinda inclined to get a HL, all else equal I tend to prefer smaller hosts. The quoted 5 to 10min duty cycle is good enough for me :p

Offroad,
I ended up get a lower powered pen laser from Sky. Would you please take me off the list.
Thanks again!

Re: OPEN: Taking orders ROUND 3!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy!

Hey offroad, I just finished reading through 62 pages of the last GB and TBH I'm kinda afraid to participate. I know none of that was your fault, but still feels risky... Do you know if everyone got their replacements in the end?


You mentioned we get the same gifts from last time, am I right to think the gifts are these?
a extra gift for 100+ USD orders:a flash red pointer 635nm-20mW(great red than 650nm).
a extra gift for 300+ USD orders:a flash green pointer(50mW).
a extra gift for 500+ USD orders:a 460nm 80mW pointer.
If that's correct would this depend on the price of the lasers or the total cost with shipping?

Do we also get both diffraction caps for each HL laser for free?


Also have a couple questions about the lasers, specifically HL515-30, HL520-50 and HL405-500.
-What kind of tail caps do they come with?
-In case they come with the safety interlock cap, do we also get that small "dead plug"?
-Do they have any kind of delay to turn on?

Sorry for the amount of questions :p

Hey!

Everybody that made a video and shipped the laser back got taken care for! Some people did not get a replacement because they did not ship it back..

That is correct! I was actually looking for that post and i will add in in the op now.

The gifts depend on the total ammount of the order exl. shipping

I will need to check if that is the case this time also

I believe that lasers that use two cells normally don't come with a keyed tailcap. If you do want a keyed tailcap please mention it. I will put a note in the order. If you have for example an HL532 whih uses 1x 16340 then you also get the flat plug. Most lasers don't have special safety delay. (as far as i know).

If you still want to participate let me know :tinfoil:

greetings,

EDIT: PL520 is still available upon request only kevin did not mention the price :/

Re: OPEN: Taking orders ROUND 3!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy!

Thanks, glad everything ended well :)

By keyed cap you mean one with the "audio plug" interlock or an actual key?

Would you mind asking Kevin about:
-Free diffraction caps
-What tail cap comes with HL515-30, HL520-50 and HL405-500 - not very important but I'd like to be sure of what I'm buying
-If HL515-30, HL520-50 or HL405-500 has a turn on delay - this one is very important, I really dislike those delays

Like you said on the other GB, we can never assume anything when dealing with Chinese companies :p


Edit: one more question!
Some people reported misaligned lasers last time, if I happen to get one misaligned enough to hit the metal aperture borders (not the sticker) causing splash do I get a replacement?

Re: OPEN: Taking orders ROUND 3!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy!

my HL532 has the "audio plug" tailcap and it has maybe a 1 second delay if that. its not instant like my other lasers but its not 5 second delay either

EDIT: sorry the plug is only slightly visible under the pen laser on the far left

Re: OPEN: Taking orders ROUND 3!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy!

Hey man! I got a small stock a while ago. Then i could of ordered them at a discount then. But for now this is no diode groupbuy :( sorry about that. But what diode are you interested in anyway?

Greetings,,

Was interested in a 5W 808nm C-Mount. No worries though, I'll just get it without the discount later on.

Sure i will ask but i am pretty sure all three of the lasers you mentioned do not have audio plug style safety!

Well if the beam is hitting the wall a tiny bit it should not cause splash. But if it that bad that there is awfull splash you get a replacement.

Want me to remove the entire order? Also what awesomeness did you buy instead? :)

Re: OPEN: Taking orders ROUND 3!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy!

Nothing really Awesome, I got 2 HeNe lasers, and 3 new hosts that make the cost of the lasers I was going to get in this GB. I know I might regreat not getting in the GB but if I buy one more laser now before I get to sell some, It would be just irresponsable...
So yes, I would need you to remove me compleately from the GB, again I apologyze, but better now than later....
