Laserglow "RIGEL-6" 593.5nm Pen (LPF 5th anniv. Ed.)

Who sells a 593.4 higher than 5mW these days?

i know a source. incoming PM.

Nobody, really. Almost nobody sells 593.5 period.
I tried to buy one from a member and it ended up either being confiscated by AU customs or being an outright scam.

i bet it got past AU custom but not The U.S due to some FDA requirement.

Could you PM me that source too? Thanks

And the U.S. customs aren't that strict, I haven't heard of them seizing any lasers recently.

Cni distributor is one of many way.

won't tell names in the public....

...that group buy feels like a lifetime ago. I've still got my Lyra here somewhere. Glad this has found a good home!

Thanks Trevor, and glad to see you around again!
I missed out on the 5yr. anniversiary GB, and it looks like there isn't going to be a 10yr. GB, so this one is kind of special to me. :yh:

Does the 532 effect to color of the dot?

how does it look vs 589? is it more amberish?

 

[BowtieGuy]

No, the 532nm is not seen under normal circumstances; I only saw it when shining the beam through a diffraction grating.
IIRC, some owners have reported seeing the 532 upon start up, or when the battery is getting low, I have not seen this yet.
To me, the color is more amber than 589nm; the 10th photo in my post, with the dot shining on the case, looks to me, to be an accurate representation of how I see the color.
Side by side with 589nm is usually hard to get a good comparison, since most 589's have much higher output.

 

[10fenny]

wow to me thats crazy that you can see 532 with difraction. but then again I dont know much about 593... I have played with my 589 with grating a lot and.. im assuming obvisously.. never seen that. You need to frame it with a pinhole to hit the pushbutton...

 

[RedCowboy]

Great looking wavelength, I would love to see it at several watts. :beer:

 

[BowtieGuy]

Thanks Red, I'd also love to see several watts, heck, I'd settle for several hundred milliwatts!
TBH, I'd just be happy to see 100mW or so, just to be able to get some nice comparisons with our 589nm units.

 

[Sta]

Hey BowTie... I know you really love this laser, but would you be able to sell it to me... for science?

I am probably willing to pay you more than you paid for it.

 

[BowtieGuy]

Hi Sta, sorry, no science projects for this guy, at least for a while.
