13W RGB ???

[losttribelasers]

Building two 13 plus Watt rgbs and wanted to get some views on the lasers i am thinking of using. Here is my possible parts list
3.2W 640 Red (not sure if i want this or the 635/660 kavant, or even using the 635 kavant)
6W 445 Blue (kavant or have my friend make one for me)
4W Vishio 532 Green
6215HP scanners (or DT40 pro Wides)
LT1000 projector case
Would like any advice. This will be my first RGB'S from scratch so i am looking at some late nights. Nothing is set in stone yet. I need two outdoor rigs for some upcoming shows.

DT40 wides are killer scanners but I don't think the beams from the kvant red and blue will fit on the 3mm mirrors.

Hi LTL -

Welcome to PL..

I need two outdoor rigs for some upcoming shows.

Where are you located? (US or Europa or.. ?) Will somewhat influence what recommends are made... and there will be one other factor...

cheers..

I would guess the LT case means its US. the DT scanners can use a bigger mirror if needed. I believe kvant no longer supply 640 reds and now use the 637 diodes instead. Your powers won't give a great white balance ( not enough red ) but should be great for aerial beams. Might be worth getting some advice about the >2w vaisho heads as a few people seem to have problems recently.

Heh, thanks, Nort, but I'd like to hear from the Op on that, for 'other' reasons... ..besides, you can live in Antarctica, and order an LT from OSLS, so..
...and I can think of at least one PL'er that owns an LT, yet lives in Brazil, so ownage / purchase-plans don't automatically = geo location...

..Señor LTL?

cheers..

Sorry I wa just working on the assumption that you may likely choose an alternative if you didn't 'have' to use something like the LT. Tuppence says the OP is in the US.

yea the beams are going to be 4-5mm thats why i was leaning toward the ct6215HP's

I want the power for the aerial beams, these are mainly going to be just used outdoors.
