Although I don't believe krisxone will be attending SELEM, his initial post was in reference to 3 watt RGB projectors from Able, Lightspace, and Goldenstar. So let's go with the 3 watt RGB. Unless anyone has other ideas.?.

They are decent lasers, and as mentioned by someone else above, compliant for use in the US. I have multiple units including the Series 2 and 3. Someone else said they wouldn't put these up on the truss multiple times a week, and I'd have to agree. I also can see a slight difference between one of the series 2 units and another... slightly less bright. I also had one of the bracket tightening arms sheer off... just cheap. I also don't know who does the quality control... you can see the obvious spelling errors on the variance stamp...
Just sloppy and considering that is screen printed onto every unit, I'd think they would be careful and scrutinize everything. They are NOT Kvant...far from it, but then again, they're not supposed to be. I think they wanted to create a budget line of lasers similar to the Kvant Clubmax line. Support is excellent and Pangolin is great to work with. It's not Pangolin but it sorta is since you buy from their people. They come shipped direct to you from China. Consider what you will use them for and buy accordingly. I only wanted an FDA certified product so I went with these for the smaller watt (<3w) small show units. For the price I paid, they are just fine, but for the bigger units I'll be going another direction. Hope this helps!
I can tell you 6215s while very nice are no where near saturns in performance. Those saturns with the digital drivers blew me away last year. I plan to switch mine out as soon as possible. Earlier in the thread someone showed a pic and said which scanner. They look like 6800 knockoffs. Expect 30k if your lucky. No way will those do 60k. I’ve seen iffy 40k on new 6800hp with turboamps.
Thought I'd also weigh in..
I think it would be interesting to see these units at SELEM. I've been curious about these Chinese projectors for a while and I think as long as the projector is open for anyone to play with and units are not being sold/promoted at the event it should be fine.
I am hoping to bring a Kvant Clubmax 3000 (Saturns) and would be happy to compare it. (though it's kind of pointless)
So were there any of these units at SELEM?
Yup. There were two and both were brand new. I want to say that one was a 5w and one was maybe 2w but I really don’t remember. Maybe Ryan can weigh in.
I didn’t look at them for too long but it seems like you get what you pay for. The galvos have a hard time displaying graphics cleanly and the color modulation was not ideal. One unit couldn’t display the brown on some tree trunks. Should be fine for lower speed graphics or beams though.
