Expensive blue was yesterday :)

[andy_con]

it appeared that they were approx 150mw from what the guy said on laserfreak. but then i read it again, and i don't really know.

we bought a bunch of the ebay ones god damnit.

great for £30 im well happy with 150mw of 445

Hmmm... Not sure I quite get this.

Are there 24 blue diodes in each one of those projectors then? if so, what is the power of each individual diode? Are they polarised, can two be combined with a PBS? what is the divergence likely to be?

I may be in on this if someone could build a working piece of kit for me (for a fee of course )

Cheers

yes 24 diodes in each projector.

yes polarised and yes to cube.

beam wont be amazing but it also wont be bad. it wont be like a fat 635nm module or anything

Well... let's get some ordered and find out!
Even if it turns out to be "only" 100-150mW - fantastic!
Best case: 500mW! MEGA

Okay so if 10 lumens is 200mw in the pico projector.

2000 lumens is 40 watts in this thing.

now i think they are 500mw.

[danielbriggs]

Also being multimode, that would lean towards being >>150mW? e.g. 500mW

These must be the ebay diodes..

I feel your pain aij...

[andy_con]

only one way to find out.

[ElektroFreak]

Would a group buy be for UK/Europe only? If you guys are willing to work with US folks I'd be in for a few..

Let's get that to that 20 limit so I can order asap!

If one pin is cut off on the ebay-diodes (the unused chassis pin) then they are exactly the same as these diodes from the casio projector.
