FS Binned 490nm Diodes

Hi guys!

I'm going to be selling off the extra ~490nm diodes I have coming from Paul. A few people have come to me already about these diodes, and I have marked them down as reserved on the diodes they wanted...

Of the unspoken diodes from the first 20, 9 remain (and 5 more will be added once the results are in):

#...WL....mA
1 - 488.2 80
2 - 489.3 120
3 - 489.5 110
4 - 489.9 90
5 - 490.0 100
6 - 490.0 95
7 - 490.2 100
8 - 490.3 120
9 - 490.7 80
A - TBA*
B - TBA
C - TBA
D - TBA
E - TBA


And there is one in limbo until the new results come out:
487.6 @110mA (**OR lowest WL from the new 5)

I'll add in the results from the newest 5 as I get them. I have my doubts they'll be lower in wavelength than the first 20, but we will have to wait and see.



Now... I will do my best to honor requests for wavelength as these are being sold as binned diodes. But just remember two things:
-This is first come first serve.
-I can't guarantee anything on the 5 unmeasured diodes until they are measured. That includes whether or not they die during testing unexpectedly. It has happened with the 480's, so I feel it's necessary to say, no matter how small a chance it may be.

Asking:
$90 + shipping on diode #1 (488.2), or any of the new diodes that show up <= 489nm
OR
$60 + shipping on the rest (>489nm)
*unless we have already agreed on a price prior. I'll be sending those of you a PM after I submit this thread. Just some motivation to check out the discord chats!

US shipping - 2-day priority flat rate from USPS, +$7.25
International - Varies by country, I can give you an estimate asap and an exact answer on Saturday (April 14th). Typically I see anything from $10 - $30, depending on location, insurance, & tracking.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To those buying from the USA, good news! Paul and I have worked out a way that he will ship them straight to you, so there won't be as much of a wait as having them go back to me and having me package them.

However -- internationally, I'll be sending them out once I get them back from Paul. (I get an employee discount... cheaper shipping... + more importantly I don't want to ask Paul to go through the customs forms hassle)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For anyone interested in a color comparison... I will be building mine as soon as they arrive and do a comparison between these wavelengths:

520nm
502nm
495nm
492nm
488nm (argon)
487nm
485nm
480nm
472nm
450nm

As my camera is very capable of telling the subtle difference between them. Stay tuned!

Guess I should go and order some new batteries...
