Would love to know the brand of diodes. Mine pop over 100mW.

This is still red correct? 650/660 or 671?

[JimBo]

Yep, its still red.
As the wavelength changes the colour does too.
650nm is a more orange and brighter per mW, ant the 671 is a much darker red and also visibly dimmer per mW.

Hey guys, i'm having a group buy over at the candlePowerForums you may want to check out. No need to tear apart a DVD burner to get a diode

[carmangary]

I'd like to be in on the deal but I dont want to have to set up an account over there. So, can you count me in from here?

[drlava]

sure, just PM me with the quantity up to 3 kits.

PM sent. 8)

the lenses are now out, only laser diodes left for now.

[buffo]

Crap...

Oh well. I'll try to be a little faster next time this opportunity comes around. Thanks for thinking of us though! (And let us know if you get more of the complete packages w/ lenses!)
