The Warning or Danger label required on laser equipment will state a power level which is at or above the maximum the laser could ever produce.To give an example, 500 mW is the same as 1/2 watt.To know the power of a laser projector, do NOT rely solely on the Warning/Danger label, or the model name/number. Power, divergence and color Laser powerOpen or Close Laser power is measured in milliwatts or watts. For this reason, we cannot guarantee that any given laser projector will meet the claimed specifications. Note that ILDA does not monitor or certify how manufacturers measure laser power, divergence, etc. If the ILDA Member does not follow the recommendation, then the Ethics Committee and Board of Directors can take further action up to and including revoking the Membership. They will look at both sides, and will issue a recommendation to help solve the problem. If there is a problem, you can file an Ethics Complaint in order to have the Ethics Committee review the issue.

For sure it's going to be more expensive than buying (or building) laser pointers. So before you commit to spending $1200 to $1500, you really should decide if this is the right hobby for you. There are some decent low power RGB (and even RGV) projectors on E-bay that go for around $1000 that are good enough to get started with, but remember that even with one of those you still need a controller and some software. So it's better to find out just how interested you are NOW, before you spend any money.įrom a practical standpoint though, you'll never get a feel for what a decent RGB projector is like if you buy a hunk of junk off E-bay. What's worse is that once you're hooked, you'll constantly be spending more money to upgrade your equipment or to add new equipment. Because trust me when I say that to get into this hobby in a decent way is going to cost you some serious cash. It would be good to determine this fact before you spend any money.

Then you've got to think about optics, lasers, drivers, a case, and all the associated electronics. A *cheap* set of scanners is going to eat up nearly half your budget, and good scanners will cost more than your entire budget. ![]() Sorry to burst your bubble, but this is an expensive hobby, and there is no such thing as a free lunch.Įven if you built the thing yourself, you'd be hard pressed to pull off a true RGB projector for that price. If you find one on E-bay for that price you're probably going to end up with a piece of junk. $450 is pretty cheap for an RGB projector.
