Yes, been following this from the begining. I actually have a package of those micro/mini heatsinks and thermal epoxy for them. Just have'nt got around to doing it yet
When I run them, I only push them to just over 9vdc. There seems to be no diff in brightness going all the way to 12vdc. My LPM...
Well, I got one!
My replacement yellow module showed up today. OPT made good on their promise to ship me one of the 3, they say, remaining 575 modules as a warranty replacement for one of my 565nm's that dropped to 4-6 mw.
I powered it up and it is def 575nm. More pure yellow, without the green...
Very true. The one I got had the same rail mount as the one linked above. It did how ever come with a clamp style adapter to fit round barrels and then attach the rail mount to.
I have an oddball Czek air rifle with no rail at all. I used parts of the clamp mount with the rail mount on it with...
I have this laser sight from Amazon

I have it mounted on one of my .177 pellet rifles for unwanted rodents around my chicken and quail...
I got some word, probably not what you guys want to hear though.
I am getting a L1000 projector from OPT. While negotiating pricing and shipping with my contact, I again asked about the 575's. I got a reply yesterday about them saying they had only 3 units left! AND, these units were only 10mW...
Yes, I see that now. Looking farther into the ILDA standard and the connector pinout and controls, there is seperate inputs for both yellow, cyan and a 3rd/deep blue. I guess this would mean the mfg of the PJ or the control board would just have to add an output interface/connector for the other...
I have a couple of PJ's as well as a few rgb/rgv modules. I have a sweet spot for yellow. Getting any of the RGB units configured for good yellow can be a task without messing up the rest of the color mix, specifically white!
I have 2 565nm's in hand and 2 575nm's on order.
My question is...
This popped up on my reccomended list yesterday. Don't know if many have seen it, but it's a nicely done video about Pyro!

I asked the contact I have been using at Opt about the availability of these and my 575 order I placed in June. This was their reply:
"Hi Jeff
Yes, the diodel has finally been cultivated successfully, and I am planning to tell you this good news.
It is expected to be sent to you in next week...
He said he did not get them from Opt Lasers. He had another source. But would not say who. Their was a European name thrown around for a while on PL.
This was the EU "source".

Not a lot...
It seems odd, well maybe not for the Chinese, that if these are not available now, why are they still listed for sale?

Doesn't say currently out of stock or anything like that. Just 1000+ per day, 7-10 day lead time.
I consider...
Adding to Hakz' response, I messaged my contact yesterday about the status and this was the reponse:
The last development failed, we need more time to do it, i will tell u when we have any update,thx
Best regards

4.99/5mw in daylight, not so much unless directly in the eye. I raise chickens and quail on my property. In daylight, they only react to my higher power 80mw green or 1.7mw blue! Actually use a 10mw greeen to heard the chickens back into the coop in the low light evening hours. The quail just...
Just a heads up about the Oplaser 575's. I already have 2 565's and ordered 2 575's 1'st week of june. Been waiting like everyone else. I have been in contact with a different person at Opt, checking about once a week. I also inquired about the higher powered versions. This is the reply I got...
