How much were they going for? Were these around 480nm or 488?
I'm still trying to find a nice 473-480nm pointer to replace the pointer that got stolen with my bag recently. Finding a diode would be half the battle.
I may just end up buying a sanwu, although I prefer pointers with a momentary...
I've had no luck with the search. If anyone gets a line on one of these diodes or a pointer with one inside, please let me know. Just shoot me a PM. If you are willing to build one, we can talk, too.
I didn't think there were any more diodes around for sale. Wasn't there talk of Sharp possibly releasing more of these pretty soon? Seems like I read that somewhere around here.
Looks cool, Rich. First, I want to replace the one that got stolen with my bag. That was a great build. It will be missed. I bet the thief has no clue what they got. I really like the 473-480nm range.
That 495nm one looks great. Has a momentary switch? (Yes!) We'll talk.
