Aixiz 200mw 650nm laser diode for $40?

[Greyfox]

Aixiz is currently advertising a 200mw red diode for $40US on their main page. Anyone tested this one yet, or have any feedback on it?


From the main page for Aixiz, scroll down to the diode listed for the Kip Kay project (second one listed)

Yeah - this has been discussed on a previous thread, I sell the same or better diodes for $17.50 Aixiz does not supply any data sheet or make or model of those diodes....so if you order, I think you will be rolling the dice :-/

Sounds about what I figured. I'm glad I just snapped up 2 from your GB order.

I like Aixiz for their modules, but I caught them with there pants down regarding the diode they claim is 200mw's.
