I'd definitely be interested! I just bought one of your 561s on eBay.

Nichia's NDG4216 (515nm) is a 5.6mm, not 3.8. ;) (Edit: GREAT list, by the way!)

I have that artifact on both myself. I assumed it was something idiosyncratic to the diodes. (I'll have to turn the end cap and see 😉) I think the 492 may be a bit lower because its so miniscule a difference I can only tell when they're moving. I tested both on my CHEAP lpm and both were right...

It's such a subtle difference plus these diodes are identical and I'm sure they're the same ones Paul's run spectral analysis on. It seems anywhere between 487 and 495 I think.

I have a 445 running at about 1.25W but definitely need a 520. 🍻

I want a 473 labby but the costs have only gone up on those. Did you post photos of that 477? I'd be very interested in obtaining one of those. :)

Check it. 488-60, 492-100, 505-50 and 638-200(I think 650-250 though).

Witch's Tit... 😆 I forgot about that one. Duluth = Witch's Tit. Duluth is probably somewhere between Witch's Tit, Mn and Brass Monkey's balls, Mn.

I love your posts. They're some of the best. I've looked at some of your stuff regarding those 487-495 diodes. I love them. I'll be watching for your 465 post for sure. Meanwhile, check out my next post. I got some nice Sanwu beam shot video and put it on YouTube. :) Edit: Here it is -

I definitely want a 465 myself. Very pretty.

Its been a long time and I wasn't on long. I've made some purchases recently because the industry has become so exciting over the past few years! I've lurked a bit ever since because I have nothing of value to contribute but I may be asking some questions! You guys are the best brains to pick...

I figured as much myself. :yh: I really like the appearance myself. It's possible it may have a built in modulation capability, but I doubt it - I never get lucky. I'll post some pics and such anyhow!

I just found this on fleabay tonight... Helium Neon laser | eBay It was almost too cheap so I was apprehensive. There's no model # given but the minimum cost on i-fiberoptics.com is $350.00! So, seeing the good feedback for the seller coupled with the fact that they seem to sell miscellany, I...

LOL :yh: Did you not find the pot on that?

I get a similar "whine" out of a AA battery box I have which lends me to think it's the switch on that.
