Rick has this spot on..
and these are ~NOW >$100 less and that may be due to an upgraded version to LK PD3 iirc..the PD2 is 500mW plus-- ttl of course-DMX-and ILDA (both in and out) true 20K scanners generic-These have been EXTENSIVELY tested and reviewed and there is a ton of info/pics/vids already posted here and at LPF- just do a search- you cant really appreciate the EFX wheel in still pics or even a vid. Out of 30 some LKPD2s we have very FEW problems- and almost all arrived working a perfect as possible and in about 3 days delivery to CONUS(after the $$ clears the LK bank--NO POOPPAL) we all got upgraded to DHL Express free/-- more than 25 were gotten by forum members- Linna told us she will spend around 12 hours of intensive testing pre-ship and only those working as perfectly as possibly were sent. WE were sent contact info of a place in Brooklyn NY to ship for warranty work..NOT back to China.
Linna is quick to respond to Emails and has great English skillz.. ALSO very FEW have sold their LKPD2s and when they do.. they still bring a good price.. Two (new) got sold at Greedbay for @ $ 650 each.. these now come with upgraded red @ IIRC 638nm-the blue is 450nm and the green ATM is still 532 DPSS
I wish we could have gotten LK to follow suit with Able and the Plutos and get FULLY compliant w/ the FDA...hard to put a $ value on that=
Since there are so many already in the hands of forum members - most should be able in time to see on in person... great kit for 'at home' displays== there are many functions build into the EFX wheel - two different Diffraction gratings(very wide angles) and Lumias (both a little lame in comparison to what we have seen)- and a 3-D pair that REALLY impresssed many here--
WHAT the LK PD2 does NOThave are any lame animations== No dancing santas or snowmen- or elephants- Happy New Year 2009 etc-- NO animations make the LK PD2 stand out from the rest with the built-in stuff giving the 'appearance' of NO repetition-- I timed one and it went >6 minutes before starting over-- Hard to notice by us and impossible for an audience. there are two built=in AUTO shows quite different and they step thru all the EFX. Not wonderful compared to what some can do-- BUT IMO OK for viewing at first- and saving the best for later in the evening. Like an opening act= at a concert-- these are excellent to do on a scrim or rear projected=or on a wall or corner or two walls AND the ceiling==
