Hi all,
I知 looking for thoughts and comments on the PF-115 laser scanner from PF-lighting. I知 hoping to use this scanner as an entry level platform so I can upgrade as wanted / needed. I致e seen that others have had good luck with the PF-114 so I知 thinking I may get similar results with its big brother. All the spec痴 and the picture below came via email from the company.
PF115 1W RGB
Red 650nm 500mW
Green 532nm 200mW
Blue 450nm 300mW
Analog or TTL modulation
25Kpps scanners
Price: $650
Shipping to Canada via DHL: $150
My comments and questions:
I have found no posts about people metering their PF lasers so I知 not sure how this company stacks up. I知 assuming laser modules are probably under spec.
I was quoted the choice of analog or TTL at the same price. I thought analog modules usually cost more?
I was also quoted that the galvos are 25k. Most people have reported 10-15k galvos in their PF scanners so I知 assuming nothing has changed. I知 more interested in beams then graphics so I may be able to live with crappy scanners. This is also a reason for going with the PF-115 over the 114.
In the picture it looks like a 472mn blue module so I think this might be a previous version/model. It looks like the case leaves lots of room for upgrading.
Correct me if I知 wrong but in the picture I also noticed that the scanner drivers, dmx controller and idla breakout board (correct term???) are all integrated. If I want to replace the old scanners and remove their drivers I would have to replace the other parts as well?
Anyways, I hope to hear your comments on this scanner. Please let me know why you think its good beam for the buck or a waste of time and money.
Cheers,
Plan
