Hello to everyone.
Since Laserglow staff has never answered to my multiple messages about Hercules mode hopping (and this is the first time that Laserglow ignore me), I try to ask to the LPF users some notices about this bad issue.
I have tested Hercules 550 under the following circumstances:
- Fresh charged Tenergy Premium 10.000 mAh (with Ansmann Energy 8 Plus);
- Original power supply;
- Room temperature: 23 °C;
- Smoke;
- Beam expander 10x.
I used beam expander because the issue shows much more evident.
Turning ON the laser, it shows the classical cold DPSS issues: instability, flickers, multiple TEM modes, and so on;
After one minute, and for the first 4 minutes, the beam goes solid and the DOT perfect rounded;
After 4 minutes the beam goes double: I can clearly see a first beam and a second small weak beam;
After 8 minutes (from the first ON) the beam become solid again and the DOT Tem00;
After 16 minutes (from the first ON) the beam splits again in two almost identical beams, very ugly to see.
From now and for the next 16 minutes the beam rest splitted, but as times passes, the beam goes unique.
Finally, after 32 minutes (from the first ON), and this time forever, the beam rest solid and TEM00.
The question is: is this normal?
It's not too nice to wait everytime 32 minutes to have a beautiful beam, especially if I
want to make a rapid show for my friends ...
The temperature is good and the batteries are the best availables on the net, freshly charged.
The issue shows also with the power supply, so cannot be a matter of wrong current/voltage.
All the lens are cleaned (I use a special little pump for the cameras), and all the contacts was cleaned and lubricated (I use a fantastic product called CRC 5-56).
If some kindly soul can explain me because this happen, I will be eternally grateful to him :thanks:
Richard.
