Another Another Lighting Idea!!

perfect.

Those are extremely expensive, aren't they? If not, it's a great idea.

you are right Dj Madness ,blue laser diodes are very expensive ..red is the less $ but look at green already ..it's like almost doubel the price of a red laser but the green still has all the same featers as the red but it's the diode that expensive at less i think thats why.

A Huh, that's interesting...why would blue be some much more expensive? ALso...what exactly does the diode look like? I am not very familiar...sorry. Is there a way to create like a diode wheel that can change the color (kinda like a color wheel in an intell)? Is that possible? I am still curious about the price thing with the blue. Anyone have any info...Support?

i know that some laser's are made with gas's .i'm not to sure about that but i know that a blue laser is argon gas and i think that might be why it is more expensive i laser diode looks like this... but there are many size and types http://www.laser2000.co.uk/images/pm.jpg

this is what a red green blue laser looks like(one model)

hope this helps you

Okay, cool. But i am still puzzled about the price thing??

yeah, sorry that all my knowledge i have on laser's bud. but ya i would like to know why 2!????

The reason green are more than reds and blue is more than green is because the gas in it is not very common. The rarer the gas is the more expensive it is. They may have to mix a combination of gases too to make the colors. I believe there are some lasers out that mix the main laser colors to make different colors. Correct me if i'm wrong.

This will give you an idea what a diode looks like:

Most lasers use gas, while others use something easier, cheaper, and its not as bright. Neon gas gives you the red's oranges, and dark yellows, while Argon gas gives you greens, blue's and purples, as well as white. These two gasses are known as "rare" and are mainly used in Neon signs. It takes glass electrodes, wires and a glass tube to use one of these rare gasses to make a laser. Its also harder to make a very concedtrated beam (a laser), with gas.

Well, I just got a catalog (you can guess which one) and it has another company's Stinger line, which has been added to substantially. Just to give you a pricing idea, I'm going to type the approximate prices of the different colors:

Red: about $400
Green: about $800
Gold: about $1,200
Multicolor (red, green, and gold): about $1,800
BLUE: ABOUT $3,300!

So there you have it. If ADJ made different colored lasers, they would probably be cheaper, but still, that's the price range.

I know ADJ doesn't like prices or other companies, but I typed the price ranges and never mentioned any company. I just intended this as reference, so I hope it's ok.

Just got the same catalog in the mail today. Wow!!!! Thats a price jump! But you never know...anything could happen!

BLUE AND GOLD ARE AWESOME o

i can't guess which catalog. ADJ doesnt make a gold laser. which catamalog!?!?!?!?

Yep...and I said they're not by ADJ.
