Re: SHOWDOWN!  473 versus 405!!

that is MIGHTY interesting sir!

What did that pen run you? im guessing 3-400?

Its beautiful though! i'd totaly buy it!

Dark

When I bought that laser, LG wanted $700 and some odd dollars for the Aquarius-5, which is what mine is (it's worth noting that on a new battery, it can peak as high as 17mw, which makes it brighter than a 5mw greenie), but mine "only" cost $545 because of a group buy discount (and because it's one of only four in existence with "Aquarius" engraved).

I'm kinda shocked at how cheap these things have gotten actually lol

Cool side-to-side review

Did you buy the LLBR or did you DIY it? The LED indicator looks really cool.

I bought it, it was Dr Lava's proof of concept for the flexdrive in a pen. When I bought it, I just asked for the bluray diode in.

my 473 25 mw rpl (50 peak) is like 10x brighter than my 130mw (130) peak lol bluray

I don't know about the wuality (guessing beam divergence isn't good) but on the thread about yagoon (the manufacurer that makes the dilda) they have a 5mw to 50mw of 473nm lasers (they look big)

I have no clue about 473 or 405 but I thought some of you may be interested

I love the pulsed look

Re: SHOWDOWN! *473 versus 405!!

how did you get those dashed lines?
awesome pics btw.

The laser driver is pulsed instead of constant wave.

473 looks soo much nicer than 405... think the judges would agree
