Re: FS: >70mW Blu-Rays, two models: $185
Every lens has a focal length.. It's still adjustable. Don't worry about it..
I have backup diodes on the way with express mail, so i WILL be able to select the ones that put out >80mW at a safe current of 98.5mA.
The glass lens will cost me between $20-$25 + shipping... I don't know exactly what yet.
Since i will have to order many at once, i want to make sure, the specs will be perfect first. If the specs are correct, it WILL put out more power, simply because it's a single element glass with 405nm AR coating. It could even be better than a Meredith lens!
I will definitely tell everyone what power boost to expect, BEFORE selling them. A boost of 10-15mW would be worth it.. Mine looks amazing now that i increased the power from 72 to 87mW! If any lenses should be left over in the end, i'm sure enough others will want them.
The driver i will send can be used for any diode. You need >6V (two Li-Ions) for a red and >8V (three Li-Ions or a 9V) for a Blu Ray..
I can include another driver with a lower dropout voltage, which would allow a Blu Ray to work off two Li-Ions... I think i have a spare one...
All you need to tell me are the current ranges. I'm guessing 350mA (adjustable) for the red and 87 or 98mA (not adjustable with a pot, but i could make it for several currents with a jumper) for the Blu Ray..
Rkcstr is making pot adjustable versions as we speak, and they are VERY cheap..
