It has been written somewhere already, but basically Pango stuff splits the power equaly so when you do more effect at once, they have the same intensity.
Try to create 6-8 100% powered beams into exactly the same spot and you should get 100% of your total laser power there...just don't terminate the beam on your wife...or do... well that's your choice

Oki.. yea i can understand that it wants to split the power equaly. But if i dont want this, i think it should be an option for it. i mean isnt that what the power-bars are ment to be?

About creating moore beams and add them to one beam effect, yea that is a good idea, unless you have like 20 BeamMirrors placed at about 10-50meters away in the venue. it will get really time consuming to put just one beam with full power to one mirror.

Thnx anyway for you answer,

I also wonder if we, most of us, are making our beams "correctly" as from what I understand we all do it differently. I was speaking to DZ one day and we realized we make beams totally different. He makes a point and then goes to a properties menu/box and raises the number of points to 200 or so for that "point". I make a circle and shrink it until it looks like a bright point... I am wondering if there is a "best" way to make a full power beam. I also realize we, you and I, are talking two different systems, QM and FB, but I am thinking we all could be making our beams differently and all getting different "powers of beams" base on our "production methods".

I think the correct way to do beams SHOULD be in the "Beam Settings" and not to use the "Abstract Editor" becouse if you make a circle it will still be a cirlce when you minimize it. although i have tested this and it works, but its really hard to move it around, and 50-100meters away you can see the tiny circle as a big circle :P

Thnx for you answer.

I have looked around the forum here and found a post from Pangolin that worries me alitlebit.

" If the answer is "LivePRO", then there is another easy solution. The newest version of LivePRO has been changed such that more power is afforded to single beams (lots of power was already seen if more than one beam was output -- it was only in the case of a single beam where power was supposedly lower). "

He is saying the same as Pelosh. but i cant think this is correct.
Ok if you anly using beams out in the air with no pinpoint location, but as i said. Try pinpointing all them beams to a single beammirror 50meters away and call your Wife becouse you are going to be late for supper the next day. :P J/K..

Dont take this the wrong way now Pangolin Dudes. I love your software its so much better then any other, but i know there are some pango dudes here so i thought that bringing this up would help not just me but others who have the same problem.

PS: excuse my english.. mixing some words up, been along time since talking english.

they have found something with the fb3 that’s a bit excessive in causing the lower beam powers and are working on it....
one question I have about your laser is where did you get it and your saying yours goes up to 7.00A in order to get full power? Just wondering because mine won’t go past 6.5A for 1.7W though mine is the 1.5W version.... are you using the VD-IIIA Driver?

Hi rfourt,

The frame you are using at the beginning of the video is a Pangolin test frame that consists of 980 points. I see that you have green and blue tied together as O and P were visible on the wall, since O is generally green and P is generally blue, we'll need to add those points together. T is generally red in color. If you take the white visible points, 461, and add them to the green visible points, 35, and the blue visible points, 61, you get a total of 557 visible pionts, out of 980 being scanned. Which amounts to about 56.8%. 56.8% of 7amps is ~3.9amp. So it appears to be outputting what's expected.
