There all doing it! (636nm red diode)

good man, look forward to hearing

Want want want want!!

i just got a reply on the price of these diodes and £269.00 each
i can get 3 640nm 150mw diodes for that
think i will give it a miss till they come down a bit in price

[andy_con]

the 638nm diodes were cheaper

Are the prices for the 640 diodes still dropping?
Maybe in a bit, it will be time for a new group buy for those ...

Mmm lucky i dont use the arctos mounts in my big red to stack the beams

They don't have a pattent on the mounts, but on the method to stack the beams.

It looks like this method is similar as you are using: http://www.patent-de.com/pdf/DE102007045845A1.pdf

Mmm your right but all the big companies use the same method and personally i dont think there is another way. I think they allow it because they do bussiness with eachother.

RGB and Kvant both stack beams, use a cube to combine two sets of beams and use lens to combine those beams into one smaller beam.

but how do we know if they dont have some kind of agreement with arctos?

arctos patent is only pending so...

[mccarrot]

Just put your design in a box and don't show it. I doubt if Arctos or any other manufacturer will purchase a module from you only to see whats inside.

Or better put it in a projector

I just realised, could the 636 not be OPSL?
