Received my diodes yesterday in Canada. Thanks kiyoukan!!!!

Re: *445nm lasers* !diodes 38.50$! How about putting the diode in an anti-static bag, and sandwiching it between a couple of pieces of anti-static foam, wrapped in packing tape. Put this in the the bubble envelope, and you should be ok.

Re: *445nm lasers* !diodes 38.50$! There was an additional $0.57 that I paid that was not passed on to you. I don't care that this is the case, I just wanted to point out that gifts still have paypal fees.

Re: *445nm lasers* !diodes 38.50$! Just sent the extra $7 for my two diodes. Even sending as a gift triggers has a paypal fee.

Re: *445nm lasers* !arrays 550$ and diodes 35$! I for one, would not have a problem paying an additional amount to keep the GB going. It will still be much cheaper than getting the diodes from ebay.

Re: *445nm lasers* !arrays 550$ and diodes 35$! Payment sent. I noticed that on the first batch, that the total is actually 23, not 24.

Re: *445nm lasers* !arrays 550$ and diodes 35$! Another option might be pill bottles.

Re: *445nm lasers* !arrays 550$ and diodes 35$! I just did a quick search at DigiKey, the cheapest anti-static bags they have are $9.16/100, but they are large 3"x5". Which, still might be ok. Though there would be shipping to pay on this as well. You may find that you can buy them quite...

Re: *445nm lasers* !arrays 550$ and diodes 35$! You could probably even sandwich them between a couple of pieces of anti-static foam, wrapped in packing tape, and then put them in a bubble envelope. Anti-static bags might also be useful. Do you send out PMs for payment info?

Re: *445nm lasers* !arrays 550$ and diodes 35$! So true. I didn't think I would ever own a solid state blue other than 405nm, until this came along. Now I just need a better source of red and I can finish my RGB projector. Has anyone found some decent optics for these to keep the spot size...

Re: *445nm lasers* !arrays 550$ and diodes 35$! Put me down for 2 diodes. It's a shame I didn't see this before picking one up on ebay. Mike
