Amazing.
$75 + 19,99 shipping.
Nice deal for the seller.

for a little more than double you can get a way better laser at 1W.

Nice deal for the seller.

nice deal for the seller indeed.

That laser is broken and doesn't have a driver, and replacing the driver doesn't mean
you'll have a working DPSS blue. For all we know the crystals could be out of alignment
or the pump could be toast, i would stay away from this one.

Unless of course you just want the parts...

Some people care more about the wavelength than the power

Sorry but 473nm is much more cooler and much more exotic than 445nm.


You don"t get it, its not all about the power.

I would stay far away from this. The seller is Potatorage on the forum, who has a really bad history here.

Any 473 module beats a crappy 445 multimode diode anyday anywhere.:banghead:

better color
better dot
better beam

less stability though...:san:
