Revolution Series 800 RGY

Take a look of these two pics, please...
You can see a pair of red cylinder-size diodes and a green unit.
Reds are labeled: "650nm; max output <200mw" (dimensions: 50mm x 15mm diameter)
Green is .... unknown. Its dimensions are around 100x64x50 mm

That's what inside my laser device named "Revolution Series 800 RGY" is.

I think:
1) reds can give out no more than 100-120mw each
2) green can give out no more than 200mw (looking at its dimensions).

Now... can these laser units give out 800mw of max. output (yellow, 700mw guaranted!!!) as the seller declare on his web shop?>:)
Surelly NOT!...at the best would be 400mw yellow...:mad::mad::mad:

I don't want to slander anyone.... but I really think I've been swindled...:(:(:(

I am too much angry.

i would not say anything more till you got it checked with a meter

Hi Steve,
it is fright to saw the pictures inside of the large quantity sell unit all over the world, marked with " made in *%^&$".
from the sizes, we analyse this doide is the 120mW CW series unit, pulse can up to 210mW unit, some one always over current it for higher power. yes, just like "Keeprex" said, if you had chance test it and tell us the true power, that will help us know more the lasers.here, many people here had power meter and would like help you, at least "Rob" would like do it for you,only question is he is in UK.
I can see nothing about the green, test power will show us the truth.waiting for that.
thanks for share our pictures. don't angry, steve, at least, we know more truth and not spend more monry on this unit later.
Best regards!

Man that sucks..!!
Test the lasers with a powermeter.

You do know that the 2 reds where positioned/rotated for correct polarisation?
You removed them from the brackets so you need to find out the polarisation when you place them back inside the brackets.

i you don't do that you get even less red outof the projector.

sucks is an understatement :(

what was 'RGBlaser's' insides like? did he have the same/similar set up here? he was getting over 600mW from his one

best always to check first - but if its under then tell laserworld you will be sending a letter from your solictor with courst action for breaking european laws

see what happens!

Hallo Guys!

@ Bridge: I know my great Friend... I need power meter...:o.... Anyway... I want to say that I never seen before, in all my life, red units of this kind to give out more than 100-120 mw each. I also know that a pulsing laser can give out a lot of power more than this... but for few micro/milli seconds only!:rolleyes:
Fortunatelly I am waiting for a REAL 250 mw @635nm from a great and famous Factory from the far China (Yours) :p:p:p:D:D:D. But this is another case...

@ Anthony: Yes Mate... I know about polarisation.... I thought I set both diodes best I can. Please take a look at the single red ray in the following pics: it comes from my RS 800RGY device (watch out: red ray is a *steady ray*, others are *on movement* rays).

@ Majorlee now: You said right Mate.... the seller sold me the device for a very super-specialial prize (a huge discount) and he told me that the total guaranteed output power would have been at least 700mw. But this don't means that I have to receive a *underpowered* device because I had a big price's discount!. I paid for 800mW....I have (maybe) 400-450mw):mad:
Where the remains 200-250 mW are gone?>:)

I repeat: I well know I need a power meter for to obtain a real value of output power... yep... absolutelly!
But I repeat also: I am sure these red units are 200-220 mw total and green could be max 200 mw.
I can put my right hand on the fire about this.


Bridge told the only great truth inside this sad story.... I haven't to spend no more a cent for this device. Device will remain as it is now.

Thanks everybody for advices and supports.
Really I found an extraordinary gang of Mates here on PL!!!!!!!:):):)

Thanks a lot, one more time.
Steve

another quick question...

did u get it off ebay or from their shop?

Directly from their shop, price directly agreed with the *Boss*...
I tell you more: when shipped, package still had original factory labels from China (and Hong-Kong Airport transit-path labels also...:D).
I bought other four devices from the same shop. They work fine and I am fully satisfied of them. RS-800 hasn't been a good purchase....:o

and his name was???

just been looking at the there product list

the 800RS RGY is susposed to have a 500mW Red @ 650nm DPSS not 2 x 150mW

the green goes out at 300mW 532nm DPSS

do u mind revealing how much u paid? - i kinda gotta hunch on what they have done here after what your story says :mad:

time to get nasty i think, since u also bought from them direct

after my encounter i was strictly told never to buy from ebay again, i had to buy direct in the future - i really didnt think they would try it on with direct purchases but then again nothing suprises me about that certain *boss* - feel sorry for his staff as they seem a really nice bunch


PS - i got a PM from a local laserist warning me about saying bad things about Laserworld on the laserfreaks forum; that they often send letters from lawyers and the name Laserworld has now been [CENSORED] on the forum to stop this happening to members - poor show indeed :(

Hi Steve,
the red laser on the way to Rob. :).
I like your pictures, :). the tree lasers.
Best regards!

Hey...
Brake up!

I know about the story... lawyers... blà, blà, blà...and so on...
I'm very sorry for this.
I well know the Seller and he don't deserve this, absolutely.

I want to short cut and I say this only:
1) Device shipped to me *as seller received from factory*. We both agreed about this shipping path.
Seller is NOT guilt for what components have been installated inside projector. If the case, the only guilty COULD be the factory. I repeat: If the case.
2) Seller is a very good friend of mine and he yet is.
3) When I bought device it was one of first models coming out from factory. At that time RS-800 RGY was a "new model of a new series", in fact it has inside a 50Kpps scan kit instead than 45kpps (as following models of RS series have). Now RS-800 model has different laser heads inside. At that time it had inside these laser diodes. My device is something like a kind of *prototype* of RS series.
4) Price I paid is OK. I have to thank the Seller for the special and friendly price he offered me. Since from the first day when I received the device I've seen what inside projector was and I thought everything was OK. Device always worked fine and yet is working fine.

My original question was: what about this kind of red lasers? What about this *unknown* green unit?
Can they give out total power of 800mw?

Yes, is true.. I said also: I don't think... I think I've been swindled...
But I NEVER accused anybody, I NEVER thought to do this and I will NEVER do!
My God... Maybe I should have made clear better what I meant with *swindled*. I meant: "between me and me" "inside my mind", "I think myself".
Verb to think is different than verb to declare. I can think to be Superman, but this don't means that I really am Superman or I declare to be Superman!:eek:

I hope to have been clean this time.

Anyway...
Please stop with this discussion. Please delete the word *swindled* from the text.
I apologize with everybody.
I am happy to have RS-800RGY. Seller is a good friend of mine. All of you must to know that I bought other four units from the same Seller and this means he is a good seller and his products too.

STOP.
I think we are going out topic.
This post finish here.

All the best.
Steve Milani

The inside is very different to mine which was put together well with "proper" laser components. I thought Majorlee was unlucky but I'm starting to wonder if in fact its actually me that was lucky given there seem to be a few more unhappy customers appearing.

I seemed to get a very good projector cheap dichros and lasers apart (albeit the lasers exceed spec). It looks as if others have got something totally different.

Must admit though Steve, yours does look a bit like a prototype as I've never seen those type of lasers fitted for a laser of those power levels before.

Here's a peak inside mine:

You said right Mate! You really understood me *on fly*:D
I agree, absolutely!
My RS-800 was (is) a prototype!

Greets!:)

Have you done a power test Steve, because even as a prototype it should be making what they claimed.

I'm sorry Mate... I didn't 'cause I haven't any meter:(:(:(
Maybe over Christmas (if I will save some money) I will buy a power meter.
I have to found first a cheap model of meter... I don't want to spend a lot of money for it.... (Better to spend money for to buy a new blue unit for my projector's upgrade...);););)

All the best
