No thanks, not really interested in any of those things unfortunately  Smiley Maybe if there's something I'd really like, but I find trading in general kind of a hassle

got those backordered parts yet?

Unfortunately not, I have no idea what's going on with these ridiculous shipping times. I'm just hoping it will arrive before bitcoin friday.

Some news: I've been told that China Post is experiencing major congestion right now, which would explain why it takes so long to restock lasers. Several shipments lately have used 5-6 weeks from Asia to me. I'm sorry, but I can't do anything other than saying that I'm trying my best to keep lasers stocked.

Also, as written on our twitter: BitLasers will be participating in Bitcoin Friday, a bitcoin community-wide sale on November 9th. If you are considering buying a laser, this would be the time. Smiley The details of the sale will be revealed later.

I'm interested in picking up a "Bitbrew." When do you expect these to be back in stock?

They should've been in stock weeks ago.. Two shipments of parts left China Sep. 13th and Sep 20th respectively and none of them have arrived yet. So it's hard to say, they could be in stock tomorrow, or the shipments could somehow be lost in the mail system entirely..

UPDATE: It seems the parts have finally entered my country, they should be in stock in a few days.

New laser in catalog, one of the most powerful red lasers in the world, a 900mW 635nm beast!

http://bitlasers.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=23&products_id=51

However, this laser is custom order only. Estimate one week longer delivery.

I got my 1.8W the other day. Great laser, and while I don't have a meter to test the output power it will light a sheet of white printer paper up in 20 seconds and burn a hole through a black cardboard box in 10 seconds from close range.

+1 to Grix's service, too. There was some confusion with my address (he sent it to the right address but in the US instead of Canada), and as soon as he realized it he sent out a new laser, along with a couple batteries to compensate for the delay and my not being able to run it (I'm using 18650s instead of CR123As). Both packages actually arrived at about the same time, but great service by Grix.

Thanks for the positive review! I try my best to make every customer happy, even when mistakes happen Smiley


1300mW lasers are now in stock, and the 1800mW model should be in stock within 2-5 days! When the 1800mW gets back in stock, it will be in a new body with better cooling capacity, yet the price will decrease $20, to $239! Some technical trouble, might be a while before the new model is in stock. A current-style 1800mW is on the way, though.

And remember, if you buy something from bitbrew.net and use the discount coupon, you can save even more (even counting the cost of the delicious coffee)!

A lot of news:

We've entered a cross promotion with Bitbrew.net: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitbrewbitlasers-mutual-promotion-104688
The 1300mW blue laser has been renamed for the occasion Cheesy . The next two will have a free copper heatsink upgrade.

Other news include four new products:

  • 50mW Green Laser
  • 50mW Violet Laser
  • Flash Paper
  • Smoke Cartidges

Many lasers and items are now in stock after a long delay in restocking.

In the near future we will release a new kickass laser: A very powerful 635nm Orange-Red laser, around 7-800mW! The price will be in the neighborhood of $199.
And lastly, the 1800mW Blue lasers will get a redesign soon, with better cooling AND lower cost!

We are bees, and we hate you.
Have you done any builds with Nichia diodes?

Nah, I haven't. Their diodes are kind of expensive and they don't really fill any role that other diodes can do just as good. The exception are the exotic wavelengths, but they are hundreds of dollars for a single diode for now..  Sad

Though there are one diode that I would like to build something with once, the Nichia NDB7875 (at least the laser community thinks that's what it is), should be able to produce at least ~2200 mW of blue, but again, it's expensive. The whole laser would probably be over $300, I don't know if there is any interest for that..

I was only curious because I recently did a build with what I assume is that same diode you mentioned. It's spot is very long and flat when focused, but from a distance, and I was simply curious if you had tested them yourself. I feel that the spot should be at least a little more round, but maybe I'm just expecting too much from something that burns everything it touches.  Grin

Haven't run it through an LPM, but at 1.8A, it should be putting out close to +/- 2w. Good fun.

I love my laser, and if anyone besides Grix reads this, go buy one from him right now. You will not regret it.

Cheers.

Another bump!

We have more lasers incoming, including the 1800mW beast, and some cheaper lasers such as a 50mW green and violet. Both will probably be priced at around $45.

And as always, if you want a kind of laser that is not listed or that is out of stock, you can contact us for a custom order at [email protected] .

The green 100mW is now in stock! We are also expecting to stock different green lasers sometime in the future, for example 50mW and 170mW!

Here's the laser in question: http://bitlasers.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=49&osCsid=v6247blp6o87jfvsod173k0su3

It has a very bright beam considering the power, it's the perfect choice for things like stargazing and long distance pointing or signaling.
