How much were they going for? Were these around 480nm or 488?
I'm still trying to find a nice 473-480nm pointer to replace the pointer that got stolen with my bag recently. Finding a diode would be half the battle.
I may just end up buying a sanwu, although I prefer pointers with a momentary...
I've had no luck with the search. If anyone gets a line on one of these diodes or a pointer with one inside, please let me know. Just shoot me a PM. If you are willing to build one, we can talk, too.
I didn't think there were any more diodes around for sale. Wasn't there talk of Sharp possibly releasing more of these pretty soon? Seems like I read that somewhere around here.
Looks cool, Rich. First, I want to replace the one that got stolen with my bag. That was a great build. It will be missed. I bet the thief has no clue what they got. I really like the 473-480nm range.
That 495nm one looks great. Has a momentary switch? (Yes!) We'll talk.
Different fog juices produce different results but I can say from experience that anything other than water-based hazers can trigger allergies. I've had some very rough experiences with oil based hazers. Of course, the oil based ones seem to produce the best effect with lighting and lasers...
I'm looking to build a laser as close to 473nm as possible with as much power as I can.
What lens/module/driver combo would you suggest? What hosts do you have available to accommodate the combo? I should mention, I'm new at this, so be gentle. :)
