best 50-100mw 473nm for the price?

[ndrew2505]

im looking into getting a 473nm labby from o-like and was wondering if there were any better deals? :anyone:

 

[Cyparagon]

What is the pricing on those? They don't seem to be listed on the site.

I doubt you'll find a better price than those modules.. the last i heard they are about the cheapest 473nm modules you'll find.

Before I buy one, I'd at least compare their prices with Scopeguy's CNI GB pricing. You never know, he might be cheaper yet.

no analog modulation on that o-like labby though.

 

[Cyparagon]

I would have recommended laser wave, but this olike may be the way to go provided you don't need analog. I haven't been keeping up - they do meet rated power, right?

I think I remember reading a review on LPF that said they come close but dont meet it.

susie said they usually do ~70mw. i dont need anything but TTL for right now anyway. just trying to finish my scanner.. the violet just doest white balance quite right...

 

[Cyparagon]

Well, a 50mW blue from laser wave will likely do 70mW, they have TTL/Analog capabilities, and they come with a warranty, but are $600+shipping. Does Olike offer warranties?

i got into contact with lasever in my search and they may have the best deal right now. im waiting to hear back on whether the units are TTL and/or analog but for 350$+shipping its not a bad deal for the price for a 50mw 473...

 

[ndrew2505]

lasever 50mw 473nm is analog and TTL and comes with a 12 month warranty for 400$us shipped. ill test out the unit when i get it and let you guys know how it does.

 

[bryce007]

that's a pretty good price. I'll watch for your review.

I've been running Lasever in my current projector for nearly 4 years now. They had problems with the blue lasers back then, however, after sending my blue back 2 times back in 2007, I've not had any problems. I recently ordered another 150mW blue, it seems to settle around 180mW and peaks at 205mW. It was $600 shipped and only took 3 business days to arrive.

They have pretty good modulation characteristics and are fairly stable.

i like the 50mw module alot. its my first blue and im pretty impressed. it does ~75mw but its kind of like your 10mw when it starts up. it mode hop for a few seconds then the beam straightens out. i didnt notice any flickering in mine like you said you had though.

actually I fixed the flickering it turned out the outlet I was using for it was bad fortunately I fixed it. thank for mentioning that I need to go fix that in review

also what is "TTL/Analog capabilities"

 

[ndrew2505]

also what is "TTL/Analog capabilities"

ttl is 5v on/off for blanking and analog is 5v fade on/off. with ttl you can get 7 colors. with analogue you can theoretically get like 16.9 million colors.
