Interesting, I doubt it will be long before Nichia does a multi-mode version of this..

Have you considered getting pricing direct from Nichia? They are good with samples btw, we recently got a 1w 445nm diode on the house!!

[steve-o]

Dave- what kind of potential did you give 'em 1.8B?hehe..
1Watt 445???OMG-- got any pics of the final product in action??

Steve- Q1 ?: 1st quarter? he//, I gotta 488nm argon 500:1 polarization- can i get into that racket?

What you need to think about is what can you come up with as a marketable device that will be popular enough to bing the prices down. Make something that will help apply women's makeup or somehthing...

Yah! and it will also remove wrinkle lines, tighten up the skin, give the skin a new tone, remove unwanted facial hair.. I think we're are on to something here..

If I had to guess, I would say these will drop in price in the not-so-distant future, due to the upcoming 'laser tv' era
