Those are some great looking modules. Good job.

On the topic of Dave's barrels I agree they are great quality. I have been using them with the G-2's that I have in my store and they work better than anything I have used yet.

Can't seem to attach pics via PM. Figured I'll post 'em here. This member wanted to run at 650ma. These didoes are seriously bright at that current.


Have enough parts for two more kits. I can now include the collimator lenses and barrels.

How much with all accessories?

Sounds like a fair deal. Right now I'm not going to jump the gun on these Mitsubishi diodes, also with the P73 on the horizon.

I'm also going to have a wait and see what the module manufacturers like O-Like and Aixyz will do with these diodes. I have a history of bare diodes disagreeing with me if I try to mount them and solder wires to them and to the driver.

most probably they will do the same thing they did with the 445s. a long fl lens, no corrective optics, no tec, just cheap modules
and they will sell, as people will not search any deeper

so, the quest for a projector friendly and cheap red is up to all of us

Well, don't forget that we won't be selling any ready to run modules here, right, because a lot of PL members are living in the USA and the FDA/CDRH prohibits it?

I'd be willing to spend more money for a quality module, but I prefer something that I can just drop into my projector and it works. At most requiring some alignment of the module itself, but I don't like fiddling around with expensive, ESD sensitive laser diodes and a soldering iron.

If anyone would want to sell populated diode blocks with lens and wires attached, I'm all for it. Adding corrective optics is something I can do, mounting tiny diodes into blocks is something I can't.

Hi
do you still have some complete kit available? (without the diode of course)
What will be the prince including the collimator?

Thanks

LS, any idea if these great modules that you're building would work with the new mitsu P73 diodes? That'd be great! Thanx

From the looks of the tests at LPF the emitters are the same size. So it should be a drop in replacement for the P71. Actually, they may have the same or lower aperture size (with greater output) because the raw diode divergence starts to go Up with P71 at >.5 amp. The only issue I see is the P73's are rated at a lower operating temp than the P71'3. But still higher than the 445 cazio. So, need some more testing in that department. I am really excited to get a few and try em out.

This is what i say to everyone.... Get scanners with 5mm mirrors. The performance drop is not that bad compared to the extra light you can put on them. Once I gave up on trying to fit high power diodes on 3mm mirrors my life got a lot easier. And my shows got a lot brighter! I can tell you this from experience... the dual set-up I have here (running at ~750mW) walks all over the 1.5W 6 banger 658 module it replaced in my projector. I mean stomps it, and not for just beams but graphics as well.
