How come no one is talking about or selling the new LPC-826 diodes here?
WTF they are all over the other forums.

Info is info. Are we pre selecting products for review/introduction/testing now?? I dont get it. They are ~$17 now, unlike the S05s. I dont see why these should have been held back from the community.
So much for science, eh.
LOL! Always the troll
Its not that. I thought we discussed all new laser technology. I couldnt find one post here. Even if the info says they are garbage I think it should still be discussed so people are allowed to make up their own mind.
IIRC most LPCs didnt make the 300mW threshold. So I dont see why this info should be swept under the rug. Hell, its ironic that I am the one bringing it to light here. There is something wrong with that. :tinfoil:
Mainly because no one here has any in hand yet. The seller (XH) has made some abnormally (even for them) high claims for output (which, of course, are proving untrue). The idea was to not excite the members before we had some real data on the diodes. Remember the "S05" debacle?
Also, the early offers were for 200 pieces minimum!
So far these do not look significantly better than the long open can diodes that we are already getting. It may be nicer to have the long, stock pins available, but right now, they are more expensive than the sleds we are already getting. I'm already getting 300mW out of 500mA.
So far, they do not look worth the extra cost
Peace,

Dave you're taking it personal. I was speaking in general to the entire community. Sorry to confuse you, but at your age I'm sure it happens a lot. :beer: I dont think there is any conspiracy, just that no one cares anymore.
For me, I'd rather read new diode info than...
"I want a burning laser"
"What laser should I buy"
"What does mW mean"
"I want cheap, but powerful"
That craps been old for years now. Anything new would be a plus here, negative of not. I dont know why you are on the defensive about it. I would think it would be a good for the forum in general. But you obviously dont feel that way, so we will agree to disagree. No need to debate, or try to put someone down because they dont agree with you. Thats my job. :eg:
