GB 3.8mm 50mW 445nm diodes Taking payments.

[Deleted member 16589]

OK so some of y'all may have seen my last thread about the low power 445nm diodes.
Well after discussing it with Kevin it has turned into a group buy.

He has 36 available They are Nichia Engineering sample 50mW 445nm diode with a max rating of 200mW

Edit:
Price is now $25 a diode

The spec sheet is located here Photonlexicon
Please note you need a PL account to access it if you don't have an account let me know ill email it to you.

My pay-pal is ( No longer available )

Taking payments.

lazerman121---------------1-------of coarse I've payed :crackup:
busman2------------------2-------Paid
ChaosLord-----------------2-------Paid
IsaacT--------------------1-------Paid
crazyspaz ----------------1-------Paid

Shipping for those outside the US is $14

for US buyers $5

prices rounded up the extra will be donated to the forum

Put me down as interested. If I do end up getting that job I can start building my own lasers and using this diode will be my first DIY pen(considering it's easy to build, you pros tell me)

Put me down for 2. I've been wanting a low powered 445-450nm to campare to 473nm. This looks just right!

Re: Group buy 50mW 445nm diodes

OK will do Just as an Edit these are 3.8mm

Sounds interesting. Wonder what they can do. Even though they are multimode reports say they produce a nice tight spot.
SELLING Any interest in Nichia NDB7242E 445nm 50+mW laser diodes?

Thanks for the info Yea I think these are the leftovers from that thread On PL

I would be interested but need it pressed into axis type module with acrylic lens. If this is possible put me down for one.

I don't have any 3.6mm modules why cant you press the diode in its not that hard.

Bump. I really thought these would be a hit. Everyone keeps talking about wanting good beam specs well these diodes have it.

Update Im going close the group buy and start taking payments on July first.

Any idea how they compare to a PL450? I really like mine and they are a low power single mode.

I am really not sure other than they have a tight beam.

Can we wait until we have 10 units? I don't see the price for under 10.

You can put me down for 1 if we can get to 10. Maybe even two but I need to consult my finances. Aka my lack thereof.

Re: Group buy 3.8mm 50mW 445nm diodes

I will be in for two maybe 3 if you can get them to OZ?

under 10 units is $30
But I'm working on an earlier price drop.

Ill ship to you if your willing to pay the shipping.

Edit: and take the risk are bare diodes allowed across the border.

Re: Group buy 3.8mm 50mW 445nm diodes

Yes I will pay for shipping and yes Bare Diodes, modules etc are permitted.
