510nm Green Laser Pointer For Pre-Order!

Just thought i would give you laserists here some good news, we are expecting our first shipment of 510nm green laser pointers in early august. I'm sure one of these would go nicely with your laser collections. We are now taking pre-orders via amazon for anyone interested, stock will be limited at first as you would expect: Amazon.com: Green Laser Pointer 50mW @ 510nm -PRE ORDER-: Home Improvement

Are you CNI?

This *is* good news. However, it's a bit pricy... then again, it's an exotic wavelength.

Is this legit?



TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

is it diode or dpss???


michael.

I am so tempted it's not even funny.

>>>>>>532nM, U jelly ?

^^ Second that Trevor.

This Guy i think is from CNI. He sold those Surplus 405nm laser from CNI a wail ago. I think he is legit.

Edit: He Is NOT From CNI.

You better not be trolling!!
:drool:
Where do yo guys get your diodes from?*nudge-nudge wink-wink*

you got some 589s by any chance, bud?

I'd jump on this, but I want to hear more. I'm not going to just put down $300 on a single line post.

Are these 510nm diodes? Are they CNI-built or recycled hosts? What's going on here?
Will you charge when you ship, or right away?

A pre-order for August in May? ... Have you guys actually seen these units?

Mind_ripper, you have my order if you can verify the legitimacy of this.

EDIT: It looks like, by the description, he will take the full payment now (in May) and then ship in August.
... This doesn't sound like a good idea. Please, Mind_Ripper, correct me if I'm wrong; but from what this looks like, it appears that you guys are financing an as-yet undeveloped future product with up-front funds from pre-orders.

If that's the case, I think we need to hear a few more details. Do you guys have prototype units that you've actually seen? Can we see metered beamshots? Spot shots? Wavelength comparison shots?

For essentially pre-funding this venture at-risk, (if it is indeed just a project that has no actual product yet) - what guarantees do we get? If this is a project, specifications and costs and build can change A WHOLE LOT between now and August.

Show us some images and measurements and comparisons, and tell us "you get this, for sure" and you'll likely have orders pouring in.

If there's a new wavelength. I will buy it. (I think there's visible verification of that.) - However, I've also been taken for a ride too many times in this scene. Please tell us more?

Mr. CNI,

If you are indeed CNI, where did CNI source the 515nm diode? We can learn more about your laser if we can learn about which manufacturer these were sources from.

Hey pepsi, what's your recipe?

He's not CNI. I don't know why anyone got that idea. CNI does not post in LPF looking for diodes to buy, as such:

He's a dealer in the UK. So far we don't know if he even has the diodes, just that he has a plan. Whether that plan is executable or not, we have yet to find out.

As far as sources go, that's rarely a secret. The 445s were Sanyo or Nichia, and that didn't make it any easier for hobbyists to get them. Similarly, these are going to be Kaai-Soraa, Sumitomo, Osram or Nichia. And no one manufacturer is likely to be vastly cheaper or more available than another. So really, diode manufacturer is not a "secret formula".

In any case, we *do* need some more details on this. If he wanted to, he could send a reputable LPF vet member (yobresal, daguin, DTR, etc.) one of these to review on a collateral (read: credit card pre-auth) basis, to do a quick overview. Or he could just post some more images... Which hopefully he'll do.

Nice job doing some research there. I'm just saying that he may be affiliated with CNI somehow. The use of "we" and the background of selling CNI lasers... Although I'm not saying that he IS. You could really argue either way unless OP came back and told us what's goin down.

Aryntha Thanks for that info. I dint Catch that thread.
