ML520G72 638nm 500mw Diode Group Buy list

[taggalucci]

the price will be 178 euros each + shipping which will be max 10 euros in Europe.

Given the price difference, I'd imagine that will make a few people go quiet

That's a max 24 Euro hike, probably more like 20... and if you're crazy enough to spend 164 Euros on a diode, you're probably crazy enough to spend 184 Speaking for myself of course.

So this is now truly sorted ...... come on "crazy" testers jump in !

Thanks for that offer Andy, but I think I personally will wait for the time being.

And yes it seems you are right Johan, NOT false hope after all, just a bit more
expensive,.................so I hereby extend my apologies ! Sorry !

Few of us would have known this interesting detail without your persistence.

Well done!

Cheers

Just a question, would the 250mw 637nm hl6388mg2 diode not be a better candidate?

Just a question, would the 250mw 637nm hl6388mg2 diode not be a better candidate?

I made some enquiries of RPMC. They said:

HL6388MG

1-24 $260.85/pc
25-99 $193.80/pc
100-499 $141.54/pc

Minimum Order Requirement: 6 pieces
Delivery: 8 weeks
Delivery Terms: FOB O’Fallon, MO 63366 USA
Payment Terms: Prepaid prior to shipment. We accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express and electronic transfer of funds.

If we got 100, that would equate to about $150 including shipping. Given the other one is twice the power for $210 I think it's a better bet. Although that doesn't take into account the optics. I think I just hit my usefulness threshold again since I don't know what sort of optics this one would need.

The datasheet says it all really, its half the power but only 80usd less. also I think the optics required will be similar tricky as the Mitsu so I would not get excited about it. Actually I just had another look, its got worse specs than the mitsu:

Typically
Mitsu 9x35 500mW
Opnext 11x40 250mW

Looking forward to getting a few diodes

[Hemlock Mike]

This GB on both PL and LPF is getting old. Any status for ordering diodes?
I still want one if there are enough orders.

Hi. andyf97.

PMed you.

[andyf97]

20 more diodes on the way on the 100 unit price, these will be offered on first come first served basis so if you want some to play with you better get sending the PM to me.

Shipped one already.
