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

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

Subbed. I think i need this. Pretty sure. The suspense. I should just go ahead and get a host for this diode.
Sorry about the bump of false hope. :pop:
 





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

Any news yet Jordan? We are all biting our nails in suspense :p

:bowdown:
This is my ideal diode laser color at the moment, so I really want one. Honestly, it's the current holy grail of what's available in direct diode lasers that can be used in portable/handhelds.

Now, if only they could become available within the next few weeks.:whistle::yh:
 
Re: Holy @#$%... $120 488nm diode!!

Ditto your thoughts on that Rivem, and yep, every time someone posts to this thread I come looking for good news too.
 
Re: Holy @#$%... $120 488nm diode!!

We all want them enough that I'm surprised that someone hasn't just gone ahead and tried to buy one. Then again it's one of those I'll believe it when I see it kind of things and the reason why I'm not buying one yet too.
On another note just built an 08E yesterday but haven't finished with my custom focus knob yet for it or actually even tested output or taken comparison pics yet to see how different it is to a 450 and 462nm. Hopefully I'll get it done today and post. It's just in a simple black C mag so no special host.

They sent a message back this morning saying they would figure shipping and send me an invoice soon.
 
Re: Holy @#$%... $120 488nm diode!!

If they're talking shipping costs, it sounds like the price of these may be correct after all! :cool:

Awesome! Would it be possible to preorder from you once you get pricing worked out? I don't know if I'll have the time/remember to check when you get them in your store.
 
Re: Holy @#$%... $120 488nm diode!!

Yes I have a feeling you will have these very soon Jordan
Can I preorder and send you payment for 1 now!

I think your nano drivers will be perfect for this diode if they go that low, can't remember the ranges right now!

Old sears truck aquamarine or sky blue? These will be interesting to see, hopefully someone with a high end camera can get some good shots that show the color.

I've yet to see any picture that can truly capture the beauty that is 488nm.

I agree. It's not like 488nm is a rare wavelength since argon lasers have been fairly common for a while. Lots of pictures have been taken, and they don't look quite right compared to the real thing.
 
Re: Holy @#$%... $120 488nm diode!!

It's so hard to describe it, but I'd say it's like the color of a shallow sea. Definitely one of the most beautiful colors available.
 
Re: Holy @#$%... $120 488nm diode!!

HOLY %&%&^%&^!!!!

I've been out of the game too long. I just won a MG direct doubled 488nm head for $110 and still have yet to get a PSU for it, but by the looks of this thread that looks to be obsolete (for us WL collectors at least :P ) Now I'm broke as hell, but dammit I'll find a way to scrounge up some cash if it means I can buy a beautiful 488!!!!!

Yeah I'm aware my PM box is full...to those awaiting response (and to the couple I owe lasers to...) I will take care of that soon. Sorry...

This would be why:


Unlike red, green, blue, or even yellow lasers, cyan really goes far beyond what a monitor can accurately produce.

Nice to see you here again Styro. :D
Are you still planning to sell off more lasers?
