yeah man! Finally got a 561nm, not sure what the heck happened in china, but these new easily obtainable wavelengths are the bees knees

what power source are you using for each diode? If amperage is fine, it may be the voltage. How is everything hooked up?

awesome work Trinh! thanks for sharing your build. I have had a pair of 6x sitting here for over a year... i'll get to them someday :P

thanks jordan! picking one up soon. love a handsome little diode i can throw an lm317 on. Just got a bunch of leadlight pens too. purrrrfect

That little guy is awesome. And here I thought my 490nm AAA build was a PITA. Well done!

Welcome vpierceiii! Sounds like you're in the right place. CA native here as well

Thanks for the update! I was actually telling someone about this a little while ago. Four more years!

Re: 485nm PLT5-488 Half-Review (to be continued tomorrow) That thing is a slam dunk! Can't wait to see more pics, especially next to your other wavelengths. My monitors really crap out at this part of the spectrum. I tried shining my "480" at the ceiling and using the reflection behind my comp...

Re: new Sharp 495nm diode drool! that is one hunk of a laser beam. I need to see that in person! It looks like a full on scifi movie prop

You are a braver man than I! Well done!

Re: new Sharp 495nm diode Holy smokes. Good thing I just got a new job. Subbing hard. As always I will remain cautiously optimistic to avoid weeks crying in the dark :P

Sweet build Z! I'm super jelly of that host. Built mine into a hammond box with a doorbell for the fire button :P I love this diode. I'm gonna get some pics of my build up soon. And Paul... What in the huh?! USPS has it out for you man. Best of luck.

Im loving the color of this "480" diode, but just like in badboybilly's pic, I'm getting a nuts amount of back reflection(i can't think of the term we use for the little square :P long week). I'm using one of those full spectrum G lenses. Anyone have better luck taming this beast with a...

i recognize a couple of these :D the mini 445 looks awesome with that knurled focus knob.

Owwwwie! Happy to see new wavelengths popping up and bridging that 470-515 gap. Thanks for taking the bullet on these guys. Looking forward to more data. :gh:
