Holy @#$%... $100 488nm diode!!

If you're lucky, it's possible to come across some 3.7v 14250s (1/2 AA) on eBay. While a bit pricey, they're the perfect battery profile for pens if you can't find yourself a boost driver. Not sure how much of a beating they can take though, probably under ~3W if I were to guess.

These guys sell Saft 14250s at very good prices $3.79 per. Everyone else wants 2X to 4X that price it seems.

Sta's right, and I found it out the hard way after finding a couple at my local electronics store. Went home and read the label on the battery, "Do not recharge." You need to be careful of that "3.6v" mark; it got me as well but that's actually non-rechargeable lithium. Rechargeable 3.7v lipo 14250s are pretty expensive for what you get, and that's if you're able to catch a pair on eBay or some Chinese site :o

I can only find them on AliExpress

Those are primary cells. They are not rechargeable, that is why they are cheaper.

Yes, something in that size being better than nothing.

Lighthound used to sell AW 14250 but have been out of business for 2 years or so.

Looks like 10 pieces of rechargable 14250 from Aliexpress for $20 is a way to go---nobody in USA offers them any more -- at least not that I can find.

DTR/ J - Coming back from the dead (which I'm not) on this one, is it too late to get in on this one? I'd be in for two, -- Lazerman emailed me about this and I'm doing this from my phone so hope I'm not gonna get a reprimand... but must have diode 488.

Hey, wavelengths is my drug. I still run through and test all my lasers every few months - never lost interest, just been busy.. Really wouldn't mind being around more.

Re: Holy @#$%... $120 488nm diode!!

The 480-500nm range has always been my sweet spot for beauty. I hope hope hope these pan out so that I can build something and experience it in person. How many are you ordering, DTR? Is it going to be something that a general person such as myself could obtain one?
 
Re: Holy @#$%... $120 488nm diode!!

If the miracle happens and these will show up, count me in!! :bowdown:
 
Re: Holy @#$%... $120 488nm diode!!

Jordan, any updates? Have they sent them out yet?
 
Re: Holy @#$%... $120 488nm diode!!

Sorry for the double post, but... anything yet?
 
Re: Holy @#$%... $120 488nm diode!!

I have had no communication with them since they told me two weeks lead time.

Oh, okay. Still hoping that these are real.
Were they actually £75 each? How many did you purchase?
