wow thats a big swing between lpms.....
What kind of duty cycle does this laser require and what is the life expectency of the diode if it is running 600mA?
Since I'm buying Pheonix's CNI tri-colour, I want to get this sale moving a bit - so I've dropped the price by $20.
Also, while I appreciate the vote of confidence from everyone in this thread, I should probably be clear about my position on the realistic life of this diode, and what I would guarantee.
More specifically, I have no idea what that realistic life expectation would be. Some have suggested that at 600mA we should be fine for a while, but this IS pushing the diode right on the edge of it's capabilities. So to be as explicit about this as possible, the only warranty life-wise I'd offer is that I'll replace the diode at cost, if it dies within the first 6 months.
The diode could last 5 years, or 5 days - and I really don't know of any way to predict which is more likely. This is probably an irresponsible current to be selling a laser set at.
So, with the good (high power) comes the bad (higher risk of death). I don't have any secret for working around this basic reality, so anyone potentially interested in this laser should be aware of this from the get-go, and should understand what my position would be if this diode meets an early demise.
First off this is a beautiful laser and im surprised it is not sold yet. I love how honest you are as a seller and good luck selling this awsome laser. By the way I got really excited when I read your post. I thought you said you are bringing it down to $20 :crackup:, I really need to get to sleep.. Good luck!
Just to put it out there, I made an offer on this laser. It is still acquirable if anyone wants it but if no one takes this up by this weekend I will be purchasing it.
Also just to clarify, what is your stance if, say, the laser only lasts <30 mins after arrival?
