    Default 25 Watts White Light to DT Mirror

    So, I had a show this weekend and had a broken scanner mirror on one of my Eye Magic Scanners. Luckily I had spare scanner mirrors from a pair of DT Scanners.

    Ummmm......

    the reflectivity was not so great!

    I remember reading somewhere DT mirrors start burning around 8-10 watts.

    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    If it does that to mirrors, what does it do to non reflective surfaces, e.g., your wall?? Talk about a fire hazard!
