Quad Laser Module Kit by Edison (USA Version)

[gashead]

Crikey Nige!Whacha doin to em!!? :eek. All good fun though...

Do believe I was so excited I rushed ahead without thinking or setting aside some time.

Stripped the thread on the lens holder by not removing the mirror mount whilst at the same time being bugged by a 2 and a 1/2 yr old to get her a "drinkawater".

I'm getting there tho, it's all a learning curve and good fun - probably the most worrying thing is the state of my "lab" (Actually a bedroom with desks in it) there is not much space on either desk because I have various laser componants strewen across the room, and it get's worse.. I just bought more from Ebay.

I think I need to go to rehab, but I say no no no.

So let me get that straight then, what you say is it doesn't matter if i use 4 x 1Watt it will be the same brightness as a 1 x 1Watt..

No, only a quarter of the 4 x 1W would be a similar brightness to 1 x 1W!

He said a 4 x 1Watt beam is the same as 1 x 4watt beam with the same beam size !

Yeah, more or less.

Interestingly, I believe that if it were achievable, a 1W beam in a 2mm x 1mm would be perceivably brighter than a 4mm x 1mm because the energy concentration per square mm would be higher.

With a quad you will have four times the brightness of the same (4mmx4mm) sized 1watt beam

Have a look at this picture of my RGB and Dave's RGB. He has 3 x 1W knife-edged ||| and I have about 1W single. You can see the intensity difference clearly.

A picture speaks a thousand words. Thank you. That really clears things up

No wucking forries mate Glad to be of assistance. Having Dave's spanking 3W 445nm shitting all over my sub-1W blue combo was educational. I think I'll be bumping up the FlexMod's power to get the full 1W of 445nm + the 300-450mW of 473nm to feel a bit better

don't start a "my laser is bigger than yours" with dave mate. it'll probably end up in tears (but sure you know this better than me)



I have been tempted many times to build a quad 445, but then i think "whot the fook you'll do with it then?" and i back off.
i can build one, but this doesn't mean i need one. and i don't want to set my curtains on fire (assuming that i'll have curtains some time in the future)

Ha ha! You're right, tho a bit of healthy competition never hurt anyone! Not that I feel I'm in competition. Dave and Adrian have a good thing going and I have a lot of respect for their work.

I had the luxury of starting my laser "career" with a 4W Argon, so every laser since is just dying to live up to that! I ran club nights in London and have a crew ready to launch a new night on the Melbourne scene. A few "big" lasers won't hurt

What's the ETA on these for those of us in the US?

Hey Robin,
Edison says they will be shipping soon. I believe he is waiting on some hardware to come in. Sorry for the delay.
Thanks!
