Hey everyone.
I recently damaged a couple of 445s, but they are *still working*, just damaged.
They both output a bit more than 200mW at 900mA or so, and above that I would not recommend driving because they degrade further. So these would be good for those low-power, pointer people who just like the color and don't want anything that is that strong.
The kicker? I will let these go for $10 + shipping each to wherever you are, and it comes installed with leads attached in an Aixiz module (but no lens/spring or back half). It's a pretty decent deal, considering it's cheaper than you could get one that is normal power, and these *still* work but are just damaged.
Why am I selling these? I only want one 445nm diode (I'm a rainbow collector ) and I want it to as high-powered as possible (for best beam-viewing), and I want to recoup some of my losses from those two diodes.
If you are curious, they died from a defective driver giving them a current spike of about 2-3A, I think.
Anyone interested? PM me or post here, I can give more information if you'd like.
EDIT: The price has been dropped to $20 + shipping, which is quite reasonable, isn't it?
EDIT 2: Price dropped now to $10 + shipping, due to rhd's fantastic reasoning skills. Of course, shipping should be really cheap in the US, probably around a buck, depending on where I am shipping it to. I really wouldn't want to ship out of the country because shipping would probably be higher than the actual product, so that's sort of out of the question.
