Pluto II Beam Issue

[norty303]

I think you've hit the nail on the head there Adam.

The only graphics work i do tends to be abstract style stuff for the psychedelic scene, so anything close to fluoro is a positive bonus.

"Paint me a mind altering backdrop and make it look natural!" said nobody in the psy-trance scene, ever....

Adam, thanks for those comparison shots,
just what i was looking for... i see what you mean, there really is NO big difference in brightness..
i suppose i'll order my next RGB with whatever is cheaper, and not worry so much about 532vs520 module.

thanks!!
Carlos

I got 2 x the 2.8 Watt Pluto II from Lightspace during the recent sale also. The green seem to have "dirty" beams too, also wonder is it possible make 480mw with 2pcs 637nm Laser Diode....

Depends whether there are 2 on top of 2 via a pbs.. A power meter would soon tell the truth...

I have many Lightspace 637nm 480mw and 680mw diode, all have 4 beam

that green looks like a scanner color blanking timing setting and not a defect in the laser source.

Yesss!!
Try picking off the individual green beam, before the scanner mirrors to confirm??

I got Dichroic filter from Dave and swap the green to blue, there is only mirror and scanner in front the green, here is other photo

Their 480 is 4*120mw red diodes. The 680 is 4*170mw diodes. Omar confirmed for me.

And that does look like blanking issue with the green.

...looks like a scanner color blanking timing setting..

Most-astute comment, Mr C, but if it were 'blanking-shift' only, then 'Sir Bungy' would not have been able to fix his (quite similar-looking..) issues with his lens-change experiments in Post#12.. and it would not-just appear with the green / blue, only.. It'd be across all colors.. ..Looks like lens-trash to me, too..

Just an outsider-observation from a non-owner..
