    Well I got my sample unit today to do testing and post results but it has met with an unfortunate end.

    I had it and a P73 set up and pointed at a wall 25 feet away and while adjusting them to be perfectly parralel for a side by side spot size comparison I shorted the leads and LEDed the diode.

    But I did get a general idea on how it compares and the line size with a G-2 is about 4/5 that of the P73 with a G-2. Something like this.




    I will get another and finish the testing but at least I have seen it is slightly better than the P73. Just wish I could have got some power readings before it went. Sadly these are all the photos I got before killing the diode.






    Also I got a shot of the dye. Excuse the crazy decanning as I did not have a lot of time.

    Dont feel bad man, you give so much to these hobbies no one can fault you for slip up. Thanks for taking one for the team, again. Looking forward to your next test.

    Did you use a Dremel, LOL? What happened to the knife and drill?

    DTR,
    Did they send you a lot of them or did you just get the one?

    Just got the one so I could get some testing info up here. The main release of them should come late this month early next month.

    When God said “Let there be light” he surely must have meant perfectly coherent light.

    Any news on rough price of these yet? And do you have the revised pricing of the 1W 520nm diodes that somebody reported a day or so ago?

    You are using Bonetti's defense against me, ah?

    I thought it fitting, considering the rocky terrain.

    I know a rough price in small quantities (Oclaro) and I can get a hold of a few if testing will be delayed otherwise.

    Hi!
    I just bought a Stack from them, they are better than the Mitsu P73 diodes for sure.
    On single qty I can offer them for about 89€ / each excl. VAT , the price surely will drop if there is a larger qty needed.
    Is there a interest for more pcs. ?
    Just drop me an pm.
    Bests,
    Phil

    Hehe, yep, looks like they're finally here, a few people have them on the way.



    Lets see if we can get a proper test this time before someone pops it, eh?
