Sold: 1 Watt 638nm EDC laser Shadow GF1

[Blord]

This laser is for sale now. It is a small laser, only one 18350 li-ion rechargeable battery is enough to operate.
This host was originally an EDC (Every Day Carry) flashlight and I think it can be EDC laser too.
Included is a longer battery holder for the 18650 battery. So this laser has two different battery holder. A very handy feature, you have a longer runtime with 18650 and EDC with the 18350 cell.
The laserdiode is the Mitsubishi 500mW diode. The dot is quite nasty. It isn't like a small round dot but a long bar with wings sticking out from the end.
Just a reminder for those who are not familiar with this diode.
The driver has three modes with an electronic switch. Press and hold two seconds and the laser turns on. Press the button again for the modes. The outputs are :

Full ---> 1070mW
Med ---> 350mW
Low ---> 65mW

Press and hold again for turning it off. You can't accidentally turn on the laser by just pressing the button. You must also hold it. A neat safety feature.
The lens is the 650-G-2 lens.
There are no batteries included, just the two different laser barrels. A lens cap is provided for the protection of the laser.

The price is $280
Registered shipping worldwide is $20

PM if you want one or have any questions.
Thanks for watching ! :yh:

***the person must be 18 years or older and know the laser safety rules***

Another beautiful piece of art...would buy it for 250$ max (incl. postage), that's what I could afford atm...guess someone lucky will get it for 300$ (incl. postage) anyways...

good luck with the sale, Mr. Blord

Oops, I didn't respond to that question. In full mode the laser gets warm after 1 min but I didn't see any flickering or troubles with the laser.
I would say :
Full ---> 1070mW, 60sec on cold start and then 30s on/off
Med ---> 350mW, couple minutes on, actually it didn't got hot
Low ---> 65mW, unlimited on

You can make an offer but your current offer is too low.

That's definitely a nifty looking and sized host for a laser like that.

I understand where are you coming from, Blord. Although not related to this specific host and its functionality, which is without a doubt an unique item on its own:drool:, wouldn't you consider building up a host with even a single and fully focusable beam feature rated at cca. 1W, which you could value at around 200$ (incl. postage)?

I realize you must be pretty much busy yourself in the whole process of creating powerful laser pointer, surely it must be more than a hobby to you:bowdown:, BUT in case you build such a pointer, count me in


There's always a space for negotiation, right?

This laser has a single beam and it is focusable.
You mean single mode red laser. The highest power single mode 638nm laser I have build is around 200mW and not 1Watt. The brightness of these lasers blows the 660nm out of the water. Easily twice/triple as bright as a 300mW LPC826.

Sorry, Blord, I haven't made myself clear enough. What I really meant here, is there a possibility to convince you to get down to 250$ (incl. postage, forget about 200$, it really is too low) with basically similar specs as the build you're selling now. Something like one of your previous builds:
