    Default Laserwave 250mW 473nm module, driver & PSU - doing <> 300mW - feeler?

    I have a LaserWave 250mW 473nm Blue analog/TTL module (driver & PSU included) doing approx 300mW, that I am thinking of selling and replacing with a 445nm module I am currently building.
    I want to know if anyone will be interested in this module prior to me removing it from my projector - if no one wants it, I could do with the cash to finely hone my 445 , then I will leave it in and mix it with the 445 - space in an issue though
    Specs here:
    http://www.laser-wave.com/en/2009/0121/article_18.html

    I am thinking of around £700'ish?

    Will trade for a nice red setup?

    Home built or module?

    WHY?

    honestly until this whole 445nm thing blows over its not worth selling it at the moment... I had a 250mW laserwave that I tried selling here and on ebay with no luck...

    I would like to trade your 250mW blue with 2000mW! of other blue diode power. (diode only)

    So you want to swap me my 250mW of 473 that cost me £1200 less than a year ago, that has done no more than 5 hours work in total, for one 455 diode

    I know it's not worth that much mate but it worth more than bloody £40

    Your weird

    As painful as it may sound there is a lot of truth in the last few comments. Taking the pee a lot maybe but personally, i wouldn't have it for even £300. I know how much it cost, but sadly that means nothing now. I'm just so glad i didn't buy a 473. The whites achieved with the 445's are just fantastic. So 445 for me!

    Keep it and mix it i say.

    The issue isn't whether or not the 473nm laser is worth good money, it's whether or not they still have applications here. Since it is a rather difficult to build DPSS laser it still has great value.. perhaps just not to many of us with the new 445nm business going on.

    Also, I have a gut feeling that if certain powers have their way these 445nm diodes will not always be quite so easily obtained. I sincerely hope that this never happens, but along with the obvious safety concerns these 445nm diodes are putting a damper on some folk's ability to successfully make money.

    If I had the extra cash in my pocket I would buy it from you; for the asking price. 250mW of 473 would go nice with 800 to 1000mW of 445; assuming you have the red and green to match. My goal is to see if I can get an AOM on a similar TTL blue to mix with a couple of 445s running half power; need to get a couple of 640s to go with a quad of 660.
    Love, peace, and grease,
