My 1W 445 Module build using 4x Anamorphic prisms

Yeah jim rip out the mrs vanity mirror and use that
lol, I did, It stops hurting after a while

@ every one else you realy need to set up your beams
at least 20m beacause that's where the beam starts to
get ugly again, just my opinion though after two days solid
testing

Thanks for the tip badger!!!

I placed my test setup in the hall and pointed it al the way through the kitchen right at the back of the wall of the toilet. The distance is 13.5 meter.

The first picture is showing the distance. The second showing the beam size hitting an aluminium plate in my toilet. This was done with one set of prism pairs (3th picture)
Beam size 4mm after the prisms and 14mm when hitting the aluminium plate. 4th picture dual setup with two sets of prisms behind eachother and the beamsize in the 5th picture.

This is the same setup only with two prism pairs. First picture is the setup with two prism pairs and the second showing the beamsize at 13.5 meters.

i did a lot of testing with two prism pairs...




but, eventually just settled on a single pair. the beam was acceptable and the losses were lower.

Great to see al the new setups. This is my last test:

This time without a prism pair but different lens then the test before.

First picture without a prism pair. Second with one prism pair. 3th picture with two prism pairs and the last with the round dot the lens is slightly out of focus. Sorry for hyjacking the tread smogthemog. But its for a good cause i gues. To get everyone the best beamproperties

Kev - I have Jordan coming around for the switch on - that way i can finish off the stupid tw#t and do everyone a favour.

Can I bring a gun too Jim and have a pop - pleeeeeeease

Looking good edison, thanks for posting the photos. Check the order of the 2nd and third of the last set.

Excellent work Edison, and NO you are not hijacking the thread - it's really good to compare results between all of us

I have made a right angled bracket arrangement now but am awaiting the setting of the epoxy resin for the 2x prisms. I have no further time tonight to go any further with it so will have to show some beam tests tomorrow night

Pics below of the bracket in position and then the 2x vertical FA prisms in situe, waiting for the glue to harden.

I guess it is my Aixis 405 lens in front of the diode causing this but if I remove all the prisms and just shine the beam onto my shed 5 meters away the stripe is horizontal. If i then project the stripe onto something 100mm or so away the stripe is vertical!
It changes from vertical to a horizontal plane at around 2M away from the lens????
This means my SA correction is done with my first set of 2x 'laid down' prisms and the FA correction is done with the last 2x prisms on the L bracket.

EDISON - I SEE NO LASORB ON THAT 445!!!


Rob - Yes you can mate

Hey Swamidog,

What current you running your 445 at in this setup? Does the diode holder get hot at all or are you TE cooling it?

Cheers
