dunno if it includes shipping or not. here it is. promotion valid 'till 1/17

I'd buy it to sell the diodes, if brazil shipping to USA would not be $20 :(


Just my 0.02
:beer:
 





Am I missing something also?! What would be the point in buying it to harvest and sell the diodes? A 445nm 1W can be bought for aprox 50USD.

Promotion code or not you still would pay 14 times the price of a single harvested 445nm 1W diode. Makes no sence at all.
 
Let do the math : $764.99 divided by 24 diodes is $31,86 each diode. If you sell them for $50 a piece you need to sell 16 diodes for recuperation of the price of the projector.
The remaining 8 diodes are FREE !!

The new complete 445nm lasers are selling for around $150, you can see the massive profits on these lasers. Money makes the world turn :D

... 24 diodes per projector.



edit: the promotion has ended
 
Makes a lot more sence then :-) I was not aware that it contained that many diodes. Awesome.
 
1W blue is not that much when you are going to project 6m away in a 3x3m surface ;) the promotion ended, thats sad.

(btw fix your signature, it isn't "mv", laser power is "mW"... :beer:)

Just in case You don't know it yet, but harvesting from the projector is where most of the diodes We buy come from. So if no body Buys a projector to remove the diodes there wouldn't be any to buy.

Hope this clears it up for You.

I was aware of this, but thx for specifying. What I in my ignorance missed was the number of diodes in a single projector :-)
 
... it is "mW" on your sig, not "mw"
hahah. there is no problem about the number of diodes in a proj.. we are all here to learn ;)
 
Lately I've been getting mine from buy.com, where they are about $768 with free 'econony' shipping. They say it takes 7 to 10 business days, but it's actually quite quick for me. I ordered Monday afternoon and they're scheduled to arrive by FexEx tomorrow (Wednesday).

Actually the last few have been XJ-A140Vs. I don't know what the difference is. I've harvested several now and they appear identical, but I did notice that the laser array is labeled LSC-25 instead of LSA-25 like the earlier ones.

I'm seeing a price of $789.99...... So maybe they just lowered the price recently?
