Hey guys,
It's been far too long. Summer's are always crazy but is happily coming to an end. I make about half my yearly income between June and Sept so its always like this. I'm very much looking forward to fall when things slow down and I can get back to my hobby's such as builds. I have a bunch of diodes and hosts to keep me busy this winter. Anyways, just wanted to say hello and am happy I can be around more. Its surprising how much I'm going to have to re-learn I realized this evening as I was going through my parts and hosts.
Cheers boys.
Jeff

Welcome back You missed the 561nm pen GB

Thanks,
That's okay. I still have a 561 pgl which I love but a pen would have been fun too. Im not allowing myself to buy anymore lasers until I get the thousands of dollars in Diodes built. The only wl I see myself buying in the future is a dpss 473 from Jet Lasers. I have had such incredible customer service from JL this past summer. I am a loyal customer for life. Gray is awesome. Best customer care I could ever imagine.

Welcome back and it's great you have a lot of builds to look forward too.
Wow, you have a couple 473nm LC? I haven't seen that wavelength myself. If I go with a pushed 465nm I could probably get there as DTR's testing looks like you even hit about 470nm at 4.5A. So tempted.

Thanks mates !


Welcome back

Do you have a 473nm now?
I have two 473's and I absolutely love that WL
Not yet LC but will this winter I rekon. I want the above mentioned DPSS 473 from Jet Lasers but I also bought a binned 461nm diode and special driver that will push it to between 470-478. I bought them from DTR and he has had great luck with his. I was lucky to swoop that up when he posted it for sale. I'm really not a fan of 450 and below in fact will probably be selling one of mine soon a sci-fi. Just not visible enough of a wl for me. And I am a sucker for DPSS. I have 589, 532, 561 DPSS and they are my faves. Would love a 593 someday as well. But them are pricey!!!

Hey buddy great to hear from you! If I am not mistaken didn't DTR hit 478 with one of his binned 461 diodes and that special driver he made? Anyways I have one I bought last winter. I have a bunch of incredible diodes to build and some host's but I can't decide what to build into where, lol! Good problem to have. Like I said I have a lot of brushing up to do before I tackle the builds again. Its crazy how fast you forget things.
