Hey LPF,
I saw a post earlier titled 495nm Laser66 Pen Build. I’ve become quickly obsessed with the idea of either building or acquiring one of these. 495nm in a pen build sounds awesome.
I’m new to the forum and apologize if I’ve missed something clearly obvious that would’ve given me the info I needed without making a post.
I searched some websites for different diodes, and anything 495nm seems to be quite pricey. Like $300 pricey. But then the Sharp 488nm is super cheap. Is this accurate or am I looking at the wrong sites? Some of the info I’ve seen is pretty dated so I’m secretly hoping 495’s are a little more common in 2023.
Thanks all,
Seth
P.S. I’m also willing to purchase this build if someone has one.
