Never know when to future proof in case you're insane and buy a 2w 577 like me. I ended up buying the 556 model of these

You'd have to build it or buy from a member who will build it for you. Only aware of 3 options you'd fit in a handheld below 400nm, and they're all just the bare diode without any heatsinking or driver board.
395nm - GH0393AA2G
380nm - Gh0382aa2g
375nm - HL37013MG
Bump! I have 5 of the 502's left still.
I am also finished with the bins, and I have 2 of the more desirable 500.5nm diodes left. Asking $25/pc on those.
Didn't before but do now.
473/488/502/505/520. Camera can only do so well, so I threw on the colors as I see them at the top.
And 532/502 specirfically
And 502/505 as well to show even the camera picks up a difference:
IMO, 520 to 505 is as different as 505 to 502
Giving this a bump to keep it in the recent posts at the bottom of the home page - also open to offers, I have more than I'll ever use.
Also open to selling the remaining lucky bin I have @500nm for $25+shipping.
Howdy neighbor!
Around the holidays I got an ebay alert for a listing with this image. 7w 488? OPSL?? Sign me up!
After some talking with the seller, he also had a spare driver he was willing to sell me which is half the battle with these OPSL heads... and collimator... and high quality...
shipping is probably negligible at that point, but still that's a pretty big commitment for a small business. I'm in for two, if they are 12mm or smaller. Any bigger - something that wouldn't be pen sized - isn't that interesting to me.
30mW, your typical 505nm. There is a pot on the driver, though if you push them harder that will drive the wavelength up and defeat the purpose of these bins.
Spectro, all diodes are within +/-0.5nm
Edit: More info. These are adapted 1.8mm frame diodes press fit into some brass heatsink which is press fit into a drilled out 12mm module. The solder points from the diode to the driver are also epoxied over. As such, I cannot sell these as the bare...
Hi all, I had a project where I binned a bunch of 505s for low-wavelength diodes. IMO, 502nm is pretty significantly different from 505nm and starts to get some blue in it.
These will be complete with a 12mm module, acrylic lens, and driver with leads pre-soldered. Pretty much ready to drop in...
Ah yeah if that's the graph, then you're stuck with DIY or a more expensive lab unit. Ebay has some of the sharp 380s for under $300 which is the lowest they have ever been by a wide margin, so now is the best time there's ever been to get one.
The color really only is noticeable if it's...
Does 405nm not work for you?
Assuming you tried and it doesn't work, you're in for paying at least 30x more.
Yes still just diy, 375nm and 380nm bare diodes are still way too expensive (though they have gone down a fair bit since I made this thread). DIY is your only option right now...
They're sharp diodes - the new batches are just more efficient. Probably just a new iteration, it has been 6 years since these first became available after all
