FS: >80mW 473nm handheld

[BIGGUN]

OK. So when I buy my 1W 473 for $215, or my 700mW 473 for $185

Who wants to LPM and spectrum test it?

LOL!

Ehh?:undecided:

I am thinking about buying one of these. I believe that the technology to build a 1W 473 inexpensively isn't there. So I think they are off on their estimate of power or of the spectrum......or of both My guess is that they are 445's but I'd have no way to know.

If I do get one I'll post it up in another thread.

"Ehh?" is right. Why would you need to spectrum test a DPSS laser?

And for that matter, where are you supposedly getting 1W of 473nm from?!? ZRaffel found us 80mW of 473nm for $400, and we're all feeling like that's a pretty darn good price. It's a pretty far leap to suggest that you can get 700mW for $185. I got 250mW for around $250 in a labby, but that's about the best I've seen.

EDIT: You added this after I posted:

Ya... no shite. But where did you get the notion of "1W of 473nm" from ?!?

I think it's safe to assume he was joking....

 

[ZRaffleticket]

Maybe he was getting the prices on their 1W 450nm?

It doesn't seem like he was joking, from post #67:

[InfinitusEquitas]

Hmm, maybe not.

Of course he's not getting 1W of 473 for anywhere near that much... most likely just some mislabeled 445s.

Sad if he's not joking:undecided:

 

[BIGGUN]

I said I expect them to be mislabled....and probably even to be 445's in my last post. I was hoping that maybe they were mislabled 70mW or 100mW instead of mislabled 445's.


Here is the link.

473nm 700mW Powerful Blue Laser Pointer [5859] - US$183.60 : Wholesale Source: LED Flashlight, Promotional Gift, Li-on Battery

It MUST be 473 because "The high power laser used the newest optics and microelectronics technology". OK. Now I'm joking.

 

[InfinitusEquitas]

Yeah, I figured you had to be joking.

At best that laser will be ~500-800mW of 445nm.

For the price you're so much better off buying here on the forum though.
