ok thanks for clearing that up (about that being the last LEM, not you being divorced if more LEM's were to come hahahaa)... Well. I just asked for days off... think it'll be ok.

10 watts of Blue in Surfleet
Just had a thought JIM , and im NOT trying to lay this at your feet , its got to be a group responsibilty .......... with the advent of blues , theres likely to be some REALLY powerful multi watt units kicking about.
Now i work generally very safely but at last meet i didnt worry or concern myself about my own beams as there was beams everywhere , TBH I was more concerned about sticking wires down to floor....
Realistically we would need Wembley to ALL be able to work safely and prevent our beams from entering anyone elses paths or walking path in and out of venue path ,so it may be a problem that cant be resolved. I also know for me part of the enjoyment IS walking through all the beams , seeing so many laser and effects and colours but we are getting to stage when there COULD in OCT but if not DEFO next year , there will be DUAL and QUAD if not OCTO blues in use producing 8-10 watts of blue ....... Personally Im not concerned too much about a watt of anything but 10 watts sounds worrying ?? mmmmmm ....
Thinking it through ,the venue is TIGHT and its only fair everyone gets to use their projectors , it also not fair on Jim to have to act like the laser police and inspect laser for power outputs etc and i think there would be mixed reactions about maybe limiting certain output power laser to certain times etc. Restricitng certain power projectors to certain heights for beams could work but requires somone to Police it , which is difficult.
One solution to put forward is simple rule ...No Safety Glasses No Entry !
Anybody else concerned about the advent of Blues or am i being nervy over nothing

In the beginning there was none. Then came the light - #1 UKLEM - 2007

I see what you are getting at, and might have got the wrong end of the stick BUT:
What's wrong with common sense?
If it becomes a requirement to wear safety goggles at a LEM - I ain't goin...
Not just 'cos everyone would look like this:
But I believe if that point is reached, something is fundamentally wrong, whatever it is.
I guess I'll leave 30W of green in the garage then...
Also: In my avatar, I'm stood a foot away from 72W of 445nm, and my eye still works

'elf 'n safety is usually the death of all fun.
As these are private events with no members of the public invited then it's incumbant on each attendee to be responsible for his own equipment and safety.
And so far (at the UKLEM's at least) the guys have been responsible and known the risks.
Introduce a "No Glasses No Entry" rule and that'll be the first of a long list.
And what happens if someone was to take their glasses off inside?
Would everyone be legally obliged to pelt him with rocks until he puts 'em back on (for reasons of safety of course).

Everyone who attends these events knows the risks - and if they don't then they dam well should!
There will be the same disclaimer waived at this event that was waived at the other events - if you attend, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Common sense prevails here and if you haven't got any then PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND!
The ONLY rule I would like to keep in enforcement is the NO cables accross the main hall area but that speaks for it's self - common sense and all!

Agree totally...we are all adults, WE know the risks its up to individuals to self govern...
and any way it works for the Banking industry....OOOOPs!
Any way if a 5watt+ RGB is showering you with multi coloured beams and you dont like it...
....just tell the owner to point it MY WAY

Are you going to ask them for a copy of the approval in writing so the local plod can be advised?

I would love to come but I think it would just depress the hell out of me and I would come home feeling like my stuff is no good because I aint got want I want in life yet...but I don't know I'll have to see when the time comes how I feel....I have felt it too many times before so I know what I'm like....it does sound like it will be quite a blast though and a chance to learn allot so I have allot of mixed feelings about things like this.(

With like 7 weeks to go, who is attending the next UKLEM ?
Already looking forward and seeing some of your blues.
Didn't have much time to experiment, my 2 diodes are still in the bag.....
I did just order 2 Flexmods from Dr. Lava...
But i am very very afraid i haven't got anything new to show (well.... except my 3D laser animations and ofcourse some stroopwafels.
Is Soforene attending also ? Would love to bring him again some " old ladies drink" a.k.a. Advocaat.
I didn't fail !

I think that must be enough to bring him "back to the darkside", no I mean "lightside"...
Or did he say he couldn't make it 'cos of some Bikerz Meet?!
Oh, and you can put all yer stuff in ya trailer!!
