I am so not a fan of the low end modulation on lightspace projectors..
If I were you, I’d buy an RGB module from OPT lasers and drop in the box.

I think I heard a friend say that the red drivers had a part that was bad in them and that they were likely to fail, but no details. But there is a video on youtube of someone tearing down one that has a complete RGB block to replace the 4 reds (Sharp 180mw 638nm diodes he says.) In his case his is just 4 knife edged, where mine has 2 on one side, 2 on the other and a PBS cube. I guess there is a waveplate lens as well. The replacement of the diodes isn't beyond my ability, it just seems like a pain in the ass to get the array realigned, and will it look as good as it did originally? Changing out the drivers would be a pain in the ass.
I am wondering if Lightspace exited the market? I hit up the Walt guy and Tina and haven't heard anything back. Just tried facebook. I am just a hobbyist and don't have any events coming up. Was just going to see what they had to offer in terms of a drop in replacement.
Opt laser has really high powered modules crazy cheap but I don't think the beam profiles are the same as my Plutos from factory.
I have never been personally impressed with anything from Goldenstar, but I've mostly looked on from afar..... how bad are their fiber coupled modules? Do they have awesome beam profiles? Is the sharp beam modules... too sharp for graphics? Great for beams or? Anyone have experience with these things?

suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
