Re: "CLOSED.!!!" GB: For The New 3.8mm Red Diodes 660nm (Taking Payments for Round 2) What he said. Carry on the good search and I hope you'll be successful.

Re: "CLOSED.!!!" GB: For The New 3.8mm Red Diodes 660nm (Taking Payments for Round 2) Yes, thanks for the update. I'm sure these little gems will be worth the wait.

I have several red 660nm lasers. I can see the beam faintly even with moderate artificial lighting if I look from behind the laser even on my smallest red (~220mW). Outdoors I can see very clear red beams - an advantage of living in nice humid South Florida. I am not familiar with the lasers...

Nice build, Ginge! Congrats. You're gonna love building lasers (even if your wallet won't! :na:). I have an old PHR-803T laser that's still going strong in a Jayrob pocket mini host. It outputs 95mW. It's driven at only 90mA, but I have a 405-G-1 lens on it.

I have that light. Using my eyeglasses as UV filters (UV400 coated) they do filter out much of the UV light, and much of the overall power so most of the light produced is UVA, since the eyeglass lenses are designed to block UVA. I tested the output using fluorescent materials. It's similar...

Nope, no glue. Still a great, stable laser though. I also have the matching red that came with it. Yes, I appreciate laser history, too.

I wonder if that very laser is the 6x Kryton Smooth in my care now. She's still going strong at ~215mW with a 405-G-1.

Thanks! Even the soldering job I did was uncharacteristically good. It doesn't look like I soldered it. :p BTW - Diode from DTR, 405-G-1 lens from Jayrob.

The Stainless Steel 18650 kit arrived today! It's the perfect home for my lonely 12x diode. Shipping was unbelievably fast after the short wait for the kit to be built (backlogs = good business). It was well worth the wait. Jayrob recommended the copper heatsink. It turned out to be a good...

Re: "CLOSED.!!!" GB: For The New 3.8mm Red Diodes 660nm (Sending PM's) Nah, this is lazereer - I expect this to run smoothly. :)

Re: "CLOSED.!!!" GB: For The New 3.8mm Red Diodes 660nm (Sending PM's) Put me in for two (2) of these red diodes. Thanks for re-opening this! :thanks:

Re: "CLOSED.!!!" GB: For The New 3.8mm Red Diodes 660nm (Sending PM's) Same here. Came home from work to find the group buy completed already. :(

I might look into a couple of these. Time to find the right-sized modules. I'm a big fan of the classics, so red's high on my list.

I discovered lasers roughly five years ago - and use them almost every day. I think it's up to the individual to see if he/she gets bored over time. I probably will be a laser freak for years to come. This entire forum is chock full of ideas for uses for one's lasers, so it's a good idea to...

Wow...another shop closure. :( I hope you're sticking around the forums for the hobbyist side.
