The "420nm" unit I bought from these guys turned out to be standard 405. But judging from the price to power ratio, and the beam size in the pictures, this one looks legitimate.

I bought one and I'll do a review. But it'll be a while because their shipping takes 2-3 weeks.

There are 515nm diodes. 30mW rated.

The PL515's

O-Like sells them for $125 last I checked.

Also, the diodes from Aixiz are the PL515's as well, already mounted in a module, with an SMD boost driver for running at 4.2V, for $85 or something like that.

You decide ;)

Oh, and here is the datasheet of an in progress 120mW rated 520nm 5.6mm diode :)

If we're getting over 100mW from the 50mW 520's, 250mW from these overdriven isn't too far fetched :evil:and with a lower Vf of 6V, this should be more efficient than the PL520.

150mW @ 400mA, with a maximum rated current of 480mA...
We might very well get these to 300mW!

OTOH it's multimode.. hope it's more like the 445nm than the 638nm multimodes.

seems that prices for the green diodes go down...

515nm 20mW diode based Laser Module 12x30mm, AixiZ


IMHO These are a bargain atm. sold a few at selem. each made 26mW -
its ready to use but suggest a bigger finned heat sink- order from the store not amazon or greedybay
quickly shipped from houston- and a real waranty too.

any host with 12mm long bore[30 mm] can be used- driver is embedded into a standard AixiZ MODULE W/ STOCK LENS AND CAN BE FOCUSED:beer::beer:
