Best place to buy laser diodes in europe?

[viliuks]

I'm looking to buy some laser diodes in europe. Something from 300mw to 500mw. Could anyone post some good places to buy some laser diodes, that are not expensive or overpriced?

I tried searching on google, plus on ebay I only seem to find 808nm laser diodes, and they take almost a month to ship.

That is not possible unless you some very restricted search.

Here on ebay are 3,154 laser diode listings laser diode | eBay

If you want diodes for handheld or portable lasers you can have a look at DTR's excellent web site----he also offers on ebay. Aim sure he would ship to Europe. See https://sites.google.com/site/dtrlpf/

What is it you actully want that for reasons unknown you can't seem to find?

You may be able to buy from OdicForce but I agree you should try DTR.

Well I don't want to spend a fortune on a diode because I don't have the funds to buy a really expensive diode. And indeed I looked at dtr's shop before, but It costs a lot for me. :yabbem:

DTRs item are 1st quality that he harvests himself--individually tested by DTR and guaranteed --- worth the little bit extra

Not sure anywhere is going to be much less expensive---the market is what it is worldwide. I would guess medium power 650nm red would be the least expensive.

There is a guy in Bulgaria sells 1W 450nm blue for $19 buy it now but has auctions going from $10 to $---maybe bid on one and get it for a low price. See: 1W 1000mW 445nm Blue Laser Diode to 18 5 6mm | eBay Maybe one of these used but working diodes http://www.ebay.com/itm/1W-Blue-Laser-Diode-TO-18-5-6mm-445nm-N-/221795310087?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33a407da07

Only other choice would be search AliExpress : Shop laser diode online - Buy laser diode for unbeatable low prices on AliExpress.com you can refine the seach as to color and power you want.

What is it you actually want at end of day--you can probably buy a complete hand held laser for the same price as a bare diode on AliExpress. Gearbest who offers LPF members special discounts on a lot of products has a whole page of blue, green, violet, and red Laser 301s for sale at currently $7.22 --is a give away price-- they all say less the 5mW but that is just for Customs purposes ---email them to find out the actual power if interested see http://www.gearbest.com/laser-301-_gear/

Several people here bought the 301's units--they were beyond great for the price. See reviews here http://laserpointerforums.com/f52/gearbest-laser-301-high-power-405nm-blue-light-zoomable-laser-pen-92098.html

See this thread --guy got a nice 1400mW 450 blue for $47 http://laserpointerforums.com/f52/cheap-aliexpress-445nm-10000mw-93899.html

Also have a look in the LPF Buy, Sell, Trade sections--always some bargains there.

Something for nothing is unfortunately "out -of -stock" and "backordered" everywhere
