These are going into pico projectors first, not full sized ones. Current pico projectors using 638nm and 445nm only need about 60mW of 532nm, so they're probably only going to need about 75mW of 5XXnm when these diodes come out, if that.

He's using a lensed bar, in that the metal package houses an internal thermistor, TEC, and lens, so the output isn't true, other than the two lenses shown that's all he's using. Here's the 'raw' output of the same type of bar, albeit it at lower power: ljicXLWlhTQ

With the CCP package bars (the most common you probably see on eBay) are about the size of a quarter, the emitter package is quite small. Well less than half an inch, maybe a cm or so wide at most, even for the stronger ones.

It could be the batteries protection cell kicking in, but this sounds much more like the flexdrive's protection circuit than anything else.

I'm assuming this is using flexdrives. The flashing is the thermal protection for the driver(s) kicking in, it's perfectly normal. You can add a heatsink to the driver (I think DTR had a thread on doing this, the coin heatsink mod or whatever) and that should help. Hope this helps.

Not a problem.

Just a note, using a P7 for throw won't work too well. This is due to the fact that the P7 is a quad-die LED, and there are donuts in the beam up close, and at a distance it's more of a flood. It's a great LED for illumination (as is the MC-E) but for a good powerful single die, I'd go with an...

This has been bugging me, and I know this is clichéd, but think if everyone did that? There's a good chance you're going to get T-Boned by someone who is just going a tad over, or speeding up to make it through a yellow. I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but so be it. The laws are there...

High powered reds aren't lines so much as squares. I'll find a picture in a second. It does depend on the diode, but you get the gist of what I'm saying, right? Edit: This is an FAC'd but as of yet uncollimated 635nm diode. Edit2: This is MISTERWILLINGs picture, not mine.

You got it finished, nice. Any videos forthcoming from this one? :eg:

My Howitzer D-30 heats up my hand pretty well for being 3 MC-Es in a MOP reflector. XM-Ls are awesome, by the way.

I have to disagree. Have you ever used one? They're easy to operate and they keep people who don't have experience with Class IV lasers from picking it up and waving it around. It's not necessary, but it's certainly a nice feature to have. Just my two cents on the matter.

Looks like some kind of weird music player that plays music with the dinging tones of a bell. Or a funky looking old fire alarm.

Anchor?

Pardon my French but... HELL to the YES!

Knife blade polisher with sharpening stones? It vaguely resembles a knife sharpener I saw once, if you changed the color, had only two posts, a whetstone instead of the big thing at the back, no buttons, and the two posts were longer than that, right against each other at the base making a V and...
