How do you people manage to get chineese projectors that are the same power/scanner speed advertised?
In my experience you should be happy if its halft the advertised power. Maybe sometimes if your lucky you get the advertised power but thats just cause its leeking IR. Put an external IR-filter in front and its down maybe 2/3.
One 150mw green I got measures 5mw after a few hundred hours.
One 60mw is holding steady at about 35mw.
One RGB 600mw is measuring about half the advertised power on all lasers. (Only this one from CDS, but they seem to be all the same crap.)
Buying individual chineese parts, seems ok though... :-)
