Bump, 3 sold, anyone from here test it?

Around 10 years for me, I'm still a little green

Yeah this is awesome, it will be nice to move away from lithium and the slave labor to mine it. Cobalt too hopefully someday.

Mine look just like yours, without the cardboard.

You know I have to say, you could be our resident cooling guy! We got @RedCowboy for optics, @Shmackitup for all our diode, module, and driver needs, @paul1598419 for a slew of electronic information, @Lifetime17 for all our host and heatsink needs, and you to be our resident TEC expert!

Following! For more comedy!

Must be flat tops, get a small circle magnet those work great for this instance.

I'm not sure about that mount for the lens, but I would try a blue AR coated 3 element lens for the best beam divergence. You need to somehow mount it so it can be screwed in and out to get close to the diode. Not sure if that len mount will work for that or not.

Do you have a breadboard to plug everything into and test different resistors with a test load and dmm? I would just answer you but I don't know for sure what the value of the resistor would have to be

What exactly are you looking for? An old one to work on and reverse engineer to learn? Or something cheaper for financial reasons? What wavelength, and/or power amount?

Good find, @RedCowboy !! Now time for you to knife edge these into a large lens, and create a large green vortex somewhere in America.

And I would also be more willing if signatures showed up on mobile to everyone for site supporters. Almost a pay for advertising for some of us. Could this be achieved as well?

That's too cool!

Very cool! Definitely need to test some optics

They probably blow the misaligned diode and blame the user for going over the duty cycle. :ROFLMAO:

I'm going to drop some prices on my Ebay page, as limited as my stock is. Barnett Unlimited sometimes does. Not too too many US sellers unfortunately. God Bless the USA!

Ugh, now we have to buy cars to R&D. This hobby is getting more expensive! :ROFLMAO:

I would try a G8. Can't promise it will work but a good place to start.

Nothing like deminishing returns on those. They lost value quick with the newer 520s.
