Thanks for the offer Johan but I would really prefer the extra boot of the 826s, always assuming the price is reasonable. >:)

Any idea when the quad kits will be ready for shipping ? :confused:

Cheers :)

Not exactly sure but i can confirm that the manufacturing has started. They will be ready soon:)

Almost there guys!!! I have picked up the parts and i assembled one to show how it looks. I have to order some extra grubs so i think i can start with shipping. The topcover is an option but it sure makes a nice finish.*retardo

Excellent! This is the last piece I need holding up my build. :D:D:D

This is great news Johan! *DZ

Do the lenses glue into the barrels or is there an internal thread and retaining ring? :confused:

I am still in UK for ten days at least so if they are ready you can ship to my London address. :cool:

Thanks!

Cheers :)

I have a few extra in stock but not many. Very happy with the quality from the metalshop. With the topcover its really a complete module. And its great because its flexible in use. Normally you buy a module and its not re-useable so when there are new reds available with this kit you can just swap the boards. If 500mw reds are available then you can swap the boards and build a 2 watter*retardo

I think that its allot better then invest in a red module and then suddenly find out that a manufacturer use 24 640nm diodes in a projector that cost half of your quad module.

Just imagine when green diodes are available :rolleyes:

What is the beam exit height on these? It would be nice to get a mount of the proper thickness fabricated so I can get these modules integrated into my projector as quickly as possible.

The kit comes with a baseplate like this:
Because the module has diodemounts you can set in height you can do the stacking of the beams at the height you want. Of course that,s within limits. I will measure the minimum and maximum height for you;)

Well, I finally got mine together and worked out the details on construction. All I can say is VERY NICE! :cool: It's very easy to align but took some fiddling with the mirrors to get the beam height and profile correct. I was able to get the output beam about 2X2mm and the divergence is awesome with the Optima lenses.

As for the numbers.... I was able to get over 1W @ 500mA per diode running a FM3 with 5VDC @ 2A. Not Bad! I could crank it up to 600mA per diode but the FM3 requires about 6V and I really like to run my diodes conservative.

I accidentally hit my fiberglass sink for about 30 seconds at about 20 feet, This will give you a better idea of the beam profile from the hole it made... LOL!

Here is the finished module. It will run rock stable for hours around 1,015mW +/- 3mW.
