565nm From LaserLandAustralia

[Encap]

It sounded to me like you are saying his statement of 40-50mw is misrepresentation.

Your general attitude towards this seller seemed off to me. Calling him a Pedler.

I have bought from him a number of times. His English is poor so I understand not much information and hard to communicate with. He does rely on his reputation which is as good as it gets on Ebay.

I used peddler in the sense of the dictionary definition: verb -to deal out, distribute, or dispense, especially in small quantities.
Maybe obscure small Australian seller reselling/pushing Chinese product on eBay or something like that may have been better but too many words to bother writing see Dictionary.com : http://www.dictionary.com/browse/peddle?s=t

Your review was good one--a good effort.

The thread got a bit wild with normal skepticism and questioning given all the circumstances.

The thread quickly became not about your observations nor you.

It became several things but mostly about a low/minimal cost claimed new laser product clearly mass produced, not made in Australia, + not about promoting any particular seller or reseller.

All I see is respect and support on the first few pages of this review.
How can you not expect at least some skepticism on a wavelength that has always been the destroyer of wallets and now all of a sudden its affordable with little information to it and offered by sellers almost no one here knows.
Of course there will be criticism, and it was good criticism.

We are thankful for your review, it was great, but if you wish to no longer post threads like this its your choice.

Agreed, yes--the review was a good contribution to LPF.

Well, Mine is scheduled for delivery on the 23rd. It is the Optlaser one. I don't think these have a "G2" lens in them, nor do I think putting a single element aspheric lens in one is a good idea. It is likely no more expensive than many of the other Chinese aspheres available for several years now. You can't go by what DTR sells his for as an idea of what these cost. Instead of $200, I paid $65 for mine in total. I think the diode and crystals are likely the same in both units, and if that is the case it is only a matter of optics and driver current that might make a difference in a power difference of 30 mW.

But, I don't know what the power of mine is yet, so I am getting way ahead of myself here.

Do you guys think a blackbuck 8 would work to power the module? Vf is a bit low for it, but would be nice to have analog modulation.

 

[paul1598419]

Not that familiar with that buck driver, but it should work. I have several adjustable buck drivers from Lazeerer and was thinking of using one of these. I have them in my stock from a few years ago as they are no longer available. It only needs to be able to supply up to 1200 mA at 1.5-2 volts Vf. Not very difficult do do.

The first few pages were ok. But then...

You really consider this good criticism....


ROLF stop it, please --has to be a joke--is so fetched and out of the realm of even daydreams in so many ways at the same time---give me a break---this thread is killing me --I can't take it anymore----almost can't breath from laughing so hard

The inmates have taken over the asylum again, it seems


I don't mind the scepticism. But this is straight out insulting. And being told I can't be trusted was hurtful.

I guess not, just take the good and ignore the bad. :tinfoil:

It depends which dictionary you use. To me in Australia the term peddler is insulting.

From a British dictionary it says


British Dictionary definitions for peddler

noun

1. a person who sells illegal drugs, esp narcotics


Pedler/Peddler seems have many different meanings. Eg. In France it's used to describe a Pimp.

 

[Alaskan]

USA is fairly benign meaning, to me just means someone who sells stuff, promotes it etc.

That is something we need to try and understand with a multicultural forum. Words can have completely different meanings in different countries.

BTW, unit is emitting green light below threshold, I’ll be tearing one apart now and let us all know what is inside.

Laser diode inside died at 2200mA at 1600mA laser can light matches and it’s fairly bright.

Oh man, did you kill one 565nm module already?!! :crackup:

I don’t think so, but threshold current increased a lot. :shhh:

You still don't seem to get that the posts by other members to this thread are not directly and/or only about or to you.
All LPF members are free to enjoy any thread and and contribute in whatever which way they see fit, goes almost without saying.

A. that post was not to nor personally about you---it was just my take at that moment of what I and most people would consider an extreme and pretty far fetched and crazy situation/bunch of circumstance. From the outside looking in the overall thread combined, the contrast of the two very unusual situations I mentioned in that post, made me laugh-- quite a bit actually. Still does actually, now that I looked at it again.

B. Not trusted about what? I don't understand your drift. Nobody said anywhere that you can't be trusted, not that I can find, the displayed obsessive hypersensitivity/emotional fragility for reasons unknown notwithstanding.

Correct. But some posts were directly at me.

You can't be serious. Of course that post was directed squarely at me. You were inferring my review was complete rubbish and only worth laughing at.

B. Not trusted about what? I don't understand. What you are going on about and why.

That was posted by another member, not you. Maybe you missed it. Another member said they won't believe my review until it comes from someone who can be trusted.

 

[Alaskan]

He’s correct, it’s about ME and don’t think otherwise!

Edit: Damn, I didn’t get my post in quick enough.

I wonder if it's just a standard 532 DPSS crystal but being pumped by a diff wavelength diode.

Or maybe the pump is being pushed hard and moving the output wavelength.
