How big is your laser projector and how much total power?

[laser_freak]

please give me the exact size

400mm wide , 300mm deep and 180 mm high according to MisterWilling

thats completely true..... they have a disonest way of doing things...
Strangly their marketing works perfectly because they sell alot of shitboxes en making a good living of it.
Even more sad is that their office is in Switzerland....
Almost all things out of swiz are extremely well engineered and precise.
(if it comes out of switzerland it must be good..... thats not the case with laserworld)

But lets not get offtopic anymore.

Hell yeah but it was originally a German company, and they moved their headquarters to Switzerland for, I guess, to claim the Swiss Made (which is most of time wrong), and for better taxations. Also they use only swiss laser modules (from Swisslas) in their high end projectors (and they are still over-advertised).
Incredible things is they just acquired RTi Laser Systems!!!!

wow you guys really pack alot of power in not to big cases.
I will have 2.2W on the end in my projector but everything will probaly barely fit if my calculations are correct

You should always let a few spare space into your projector, instead of trying to do the smallest possible, especially for an hobbyist which will always try to improve things and put new things inside. I suffered a few times from too small case

Yeah laserworld are chinese lost in another country:P

Actually after going to a lem i enjoy making lasers more then buying them anyways

I am building two 275 x 255 x 86mm satellites...

Output power will be 1-1.5W RGB

1,5-2w rgb 25cm x 30cm. And sits in a peli 1510 so you can carry it in the airplaine.

15 Watts. 24"X24"X12".

5W/640
3W/532
7W/445

Nice to see you've completed a template before we get started on the next one....LOL

What is the difference between WESTERN watts and CHINESE laserwave (bridge) watts?

Bridge watts are Western watts aren't they?

I've never heard any complaints about Laserwave powers, in fact all lasers supplied on here by them have always tested over power from memory.

Laserwave always used to be the lasers of choice for a long time on here it's just they seem to have fallen out of favour following the problems they had with 640, full power output - correct input resistance to the DAC ) and with alignment, probably all long solved.

I think kvant are the current favourite with most simply because its my understanding that they've improved their modulation characteristics beyond most other lasers and are good solid reliable laser modules to start with.

Thats why i asked the question.
I always considered LASERWAVE as one of the better chinese laser supplyers.
I have seen the problems with the 640 lasers.... but i must have missed the input resistance problems.

I can't imagine bridge not solving problem when he knows they are there.....so i cant understand why bridge should fall out of favour.
Kvant makes nice products and are getting bigger and better in a short time.... but they also have had their portion of problems with new products.

Maybe "most" guys here are evolving beyond what you can call a Hobby....and more a profession needing different products and supplyers (or think they need that)
