I am also a big drinker of loose leaf tea, fun fact.
Still no PMs

Re: GB: 473nm diode murder fund
I like the idea, 1$/entry. Then we get someone like dave to draw a number and see who wins the diode
All we really need to know is the wavelength shifts when in a handheld heatsink saturated with heat, and the current we could run these at in handhelds.
Everyone cool with this idea?

Re: GB: 473nm diode murder fund
Buying numbers would be nice.
And people who already donated getting numbers depending on the amount they spent like Smeerworst (donated $40) may choose numbers 27-67 - so if the winning number is inside this range, he gets the diode.

Hah, if that were the case, I may scrounge to find $25-50. I couldn't pass up that opportunity.

Re: GB: 473nm diode murder fund
Id say the numbers would just go in order of the posts. It would be too much hassle to keep track of all the numbers different people have called.
PS id buy some tea

Re: GB: 473nm diode murder fund
This is probably the best idea. We shouldn't kill it if there are only a few of these that will ever be on the market. Now one more person will get to own and appreciate one of these unique diodes. Lazereer already has some info on these diodes anyway, and he has already kindly given me a lot of advice on operating them.
The fact that it is easy to manipulate the wavelength on these makes me very excited.
Adding the raffle option will get more people to participate, just make sure that nobody mentions a raffle in the PayPal payments!!
I'm already envisioning 20mW of 476nm in a LeadLight host :drool:
My build will look like this if I don't mess up...

Re: GB: 473nm diode murder fund
I agree on numbering based on order of donation like ben suggested. That would massively simplify it. Also, in case people alter their donated amounts the final numbers shouldn't be given until after all payments are received. That just seems like the easiest and most fair method right?

Re: GB: 473nm diode murder fund
Actually, to keep it less crazy should it be 5$/entry?
Since everyone donates in multiples of 5
Edit:
@Styro
I plan to set up a donation button with something along the lines of "473nm diode information donation"
Last time I got a whole bunch of gift payments for the PL520 killing PayPal locked me out of receiving gift payments for a while.

I updated the OP with the new terms.
Look good?

Re: GB: 473nm diode information / raffle
Yeah it looks good, I would change the first line though.
I can do the drawing because I have no entries in the raffle!

Re: GB: 473nm diode information / raffle
Damn this is getting exciting. Ill up my entry to $30.
Styro, I would make exactly the same pen with it!

Re: GB: 473nm diode information / raffle
I'm in with $10. Just make sure you don't give up overdriving it too early because of the raffle... If it survives even better but if it doesn't that should be fine as well
I also have serious doubts that this is a "one of a kind" deal.. There's always someone saying that when a new diode appears and within a year or two they get more available and cheaper. Not to mention it wouldn't be economical for Nichia to spend on R&D to make a few and give up manufacturing.

Re: GB: 473nm diode information / raffle
I like the new idea's
So when we get to $600, then we can send the money right ?
p.s. i buyed a very nice 473nm handheld today

Put me down for $30.
It's not $600 anymore.
