Yes. Very stable there.

Great to know. It’s going to Burning Man. Running each diode at 1.3w. They are spaced ~1/8” apart. Given the dusty environment I’m gonna just go with no glass at all given your feedback here. Will just stay on top of the weather if I see some rain rolling through.

The title says it all. I have 196 diode‘s packed together in a single array that I’m building an enclosure for. Wondering if a standard pane of glass will present any problems. I should add that the glass is ‘optically clear‘ low iron glass. It doesn’t however have any anti reflective coating...

Re: First Post - Looking to create the brightest possible 4" X 4" thick beam using di Thanks and YES, we most certainly are! Picking up some of the units today. If anyone stands out that's experimented with these today/tonight its goin down for some hopeful test runs in only a gutted state...

Re: First Post - Looking to create the brightest possible 4" X 4" thick beam using di Thanks. Edited it out..still stuck in your quoted txt now tho haha. They are all projectors from my old business partner. He had 8. He's down to 5 broken ones that just got dropped over all his shows and 1...

Re: First Post - Looking to create the brightest possible 4" X 4" thick beam using di Back again! Had a great year last year. It all worked out except our laser projectors/programming left much to be desired...an escalating feeling over the years as we watch other crews pushing the envelope...

Re: First Post - Looking to create the brightest possible 4" X 4" thick beam using di Id say the current setup is about 1/3 the brightness I would prefer. That is incredible that Green lasers are 3.5x brighter. I had no idea. This definitely makes me think my design here is overkill but I...

Re: First Post - Looking to create the brightest possible 4" X 4" thick beam using di First off thanks again for the warm welcome and all the advice right out of the gate. To everyone suggesting to build a knife edge setup this all looks awesome from what im reading up on but im afraid for now...

Re: First Post - Looking to create the brightest possible 4" X 4" thick beam using di This is all awesome!! Thanks a million, for some reason I was not getting notified of all these responses! What a great start. Still at the office grinding away but gonna get back to this ASAP after some...

I see you build lasers. Sent you a PM

First Post - Looking to create the brightest possible 4" X 4" thick beam using diodes Excited to be here and hopefully, with some help, I can pull off awesome DIY laser array for many to enjoy. I am very much a newbie in this arena just to throw that out there. Just to quickly introduce...
