Re: PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please
Yea the diodes tested the same as the NDG7475 so you can get them cheaper but you still have the ball lens can thing you have to remove leaving the diode susceptible to degradation and contaminants. This ball lens thing is a real pain in the rear. I think these ball lenses are more effective at deterring us from using their diodes than trying to make it hard to extract them by having them soldered into the mount.
check this out Nichia NUGM01T 520nm 8W High Power Multi LD Bank Green Laser Diode | eBay I may have to grab one..
