    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 ?

    Cheers

    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.

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

    This is great news Johan!

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

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

    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

    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

    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! 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.





    Enjoy!

    Dammit man; I got four 826 diodes here that need a home just like that... but...
