Yeah, but probably at a loss
I understand. I sold my first $500 445nm diode for $50 :cryyy:
Peace,
dave
I just sold the 4 I had on ebay for 55 each :na:

I just bought one last night, w/o the driver and it totaled 59.00
you didnt use kendalls 10% code either..
unless wl has fixed the multi mode problem and really produced 1.5mm beam with 1.5mrad these lasers wont do much at any distance, My casio/nichia 445nm diode in an aixiz case with aixiz 445nm tuned glass lens can burn a nice 2mm hole at 6 inches, but at 20 feet the best dot I can get is 3/8 inch by 5/8 inch, totally useless for burning and about the size of 40 pupils, or 25mw in my eye and only 6.75mw if I reflected it back into my eye from 20 feet. So except for point blank abuse, accidental bouncebacks should be non critical, at least with the aixiz lens. Alas idiots will none the less blast each other at point blank and usher in new legislation destroying the freedom of our hobby.
regardless brightidea, I hope you wear some laser goggles rated to protect 445nm laser.
and @ Chris, I think you had purchased the diode pressed into an Aixiz module, not just the bare diode. If you want to email me with your coupon code I can refund 10% on your order as you didn't use the code on your order. some simple searchs on LPF or Google will enable you to find the coupon codes
thanks,

Ahah, thanks Kendall.
Yeah, i found it:crackup:, SILLY me.
Well for future orders i'll use it, your service and everything is top notch.
i wouldn't want you to go out of your way to do the 10% thing. It's cool. and plus, i'll be ordering there in the near future.

I wouldn't count on beam divergence to protect against the 445nm LD's at 40 feet. This wavelength is sucked up by hungry red emitters in the blood vessels. ;-)
