look at the date...
and he wants 473nm..
Yes, Look at that date. And the thread perhaps
I found a 5 mW 473 back in july or so for under 300 dollars, and have been a lurker in the forums. Count on a review on this soon as well, I know I said that months ago and I'm sorry, things popped up. And also... What does survivallasers.com have anything to do with this blue yellow and other colored lasers topic?
On a different note, Dragonlasers is selling a 20 mW 473nm spartan for $300 now, making them the best buy IMO. Still it was nice last year finding the cheapest looking company selling viasho-hosted 473's, probably being overspec. (that'll be mentioned how I know over the review)
Click.
Also, sidetracking off 473. Does their 50 mW 589 orange/yellow spartan seem like a good deal? I'm really, really considering saving up for that, for one reason that will leave 488nm as the only (somewhat common) laser color I do not own (and some DPSS modules are on Ebay now too, and i doubt it'll cease indefinitely at this point), and Id like something bright that isnt green or dark blue, the S3 arctic even at a distance of 300 yards is eye searing at night.
EDIT: forgot to mention 594's, I know there's a slight difference, but they're close enough not to buy two of the same color that is costly.
