635nm 200mw & 500mw

[flecom]

I popped a $300 150 mw 636 nm diode a few weeks ago but WTF.. I'm a 52 year old 'kid' an aint nobody can say shit to me about it (except the wife, but she didnt know- heh-) I didnt puke about it either (although I felt a slight sense of remorse for a few minutes) Then it waz a ' learning experience' ..lol..

i work for the public school system $300 is like my yearly income! lol

Did you need 150 mw 636 nm especially?
It's much cheaper to just buy 20 speed DVD Writers for highpower red diodes (~200mW)

I wanted 635-636 nm diodes. They're a lot brighter (to the human eye spectrum wavelength sensitivity) than 658-660 nm.
