My laser projector plate is getting seriously hot, leaving it on standby for an hour ends up with a dangerously hot optical plate.
My cooling isn't great and I don't have a heatsink on the underside of the optical plate but I suspect that turning off the 5W 532nm Laserwave TEC will result in a much less heat being pushed into the plate. My 6W 445nm module produces only a little heat only when it's on. I am just worried about the laser wave modules coping with ambient-ish temperature. Light output loss is fine, I don't mind a 10% loss in brightness if it means everything can be passively cooled safely.
Thoughts?
