Awesome!!!
yes that’s me who is really sweating to pas 1 million cd throw barrier. this was more hard than predicted i have three months that work on this and finally its over.
thank you I was trying to make some funn with a movie :bigsmile:
thank you, in fact its around ~1,170,000 cd 
but this i an hobby which give me back a lot of pleasure. the last one was little bit difficult and maybe some times have passed the line of funn but when i start something i really like ti finish it. you can not believe it how many time i fail to go 1 million in measurements, 1 time driver was down one time focus was bad, one time it was thermal problems and so on. I was almost give up after two months of trying, when i thought to measure at a bigger distance when i finally got over 1 million. I was so happy that i make an photo of the lux meter and also wrote the exact numbers and date and hour somewhere lol. so measurements was an problem in it self too. message of all this ? just dont give up for what ever you like to do ! 
thank you Legolas and sry the name is not familiar to me but I am not too much in the classical music. I know only Tedi Papavrami but will ask my brother because he once was very good at playing cello when young. And i Just wanted to say no body is smarter than anyone really, there are only little differences but this are very small to make any difference. every person is talented at something and special only have to find it where. maybe we Albanias being poor generally are forced to work little bit more and that’s all I can think. I personally believe people are very similar around the world IMHO.
thanks
I am waiting for some bridge camera to find the opportunity to make some decent beam shots. photos at longer distances with a phone camera are very very hard. I am reading on internet for the last generation of mega zoom cameras with 50x or 60x zoom but I am still undecided if its is worth the trouble of purchasing one… this hobby of mine is becoming very expensive lately lol
Put that long throw beam in front part of video, deserve more attention. Simply awesome!
Great work! Cool video.
Congratulations on making an epic thrower! :party:
Yes…more pics of light and beamshots please. This light is worthy of it!
I like how you were putting it in peoples windows too 
Try some of this stuff- it’s what I used to use in cooling cpu/gpu components and it lasts forever. Doesn’t work on aluminum I found- which is basically all the pills out there xd But copper it really can’t be beat. Doesn’t degrade either over time.

Not sure about thier other products but I can say with confidence that stuff is the real deal when it comes to tim. I like the beam is perfect You just did a mustache ride on all of vinhs lights
w0w!
Well done , sir .
Congratulations .
Nice work on the output and creating a white laser light!
I didn’t see you using any light recycling. Your numbers could be quite a bit higher if you are not.
probably will do it or will upload a newer one but have to find time one of this days. thank you.
thank you, i just love throwers you know :bigsmile:
thank you, i will try to do it.
hahahah I am short of places to test the light for the moment, so for now I am forced to bother my neighbors
its interesting your suggestion about that specific tim, and I have searched a lot on this subject forced by my goal on the latest project and I have already bought PK1 to test. only Prolimatech seems to attract my interest, we will see.
I have used cool master tim with good result in my project, several bad no name tims that give worse results than without anything…. if i like what i see will upgrade definitely to what you suggest. but this subject its a little bit complex, a lot of factors to take in consideration…
about vinhs I have to say that from what I know vinh upgrade factory lights which is different from my project that is entirely projected and made from scratch. the time invested here is incomparable too, i have 6 months that work for this single light :weary: but thank you for your suggestion and good words
thank you
thank you
thank you very much DBS
well that is an interesting argument. and of course i have taken in consideration recycling tech, but i chose not to use it for several reasons. first of all its inappropriately expensive in my opinion, its complicated and difficult to implement in the right way, and i was after an more balanced beam between throw and lumen numbers and dimensions. I am under impression if i use one will lose lumen. yes i believe that including a collar will rise output throw in the end product, maybe i could hit ~1.5 Million cd… maybe next project will use one but as I said I am not to much fan of recycling tech for many different reasons . will try to touch this subject in more details when i review my light with more photos and schemes one of this days. thank you for the suggestion
YAY for aspherics!
Can you tell me more about how the pre-collimator lens work? So the first lens is an Aspherical, and the second is a planoconvex lens?
I have many aspherical lens, but many of them are bad quality. Where do you get yours?
Maybe you can go to a glasses store and get those lenses AR coated!
I will explain in detail how pre-collimator lens work, what it can do and not do, just gave me some time to prepare some diagrams and photos. Pre-collimator is an uf t20 lens and second lens an 100 mm diameter from fasttech.
I am in awe, that is an incredible build.
Gives the word, scratch build a whole new meaning…
You win greatest build of 2014 from where I sit.
Well done!
thank you very much for the nice words, but lets be fair here, Syri pure throw have almost double the time at disposition, the contest have been closed from a long time now and I still work and improve the light. So what you see here is different from what i was able to realize during the contest time.
first post updated, hope to have been able to share some light in likevvii questions.
What a great light! I love how it looked during the competition and now you have made it even better. Thank you for taking the time to make video and pictures and borrow cameras and all this. What a great build. TY :-D
I did not see this thread earlier.
This is factinating. So if you add some kind of wavien collar around that first precoolimator lenses you could gain 20 or more % of throw.
I dont recall seeing this thread either. Simply amazing, the whole show that is. A bit lost for words to be honest. All the best for the health. 
I would be happy with 500kcd(or a bit less) throw in 50mm aspherics. So If calculated right by your build precoolimator needs to be 2,631 times smaller than main lens?
What is degree of precoolimator lenses and distance in mm from emitter to that lens? and what is distance from precoolimator to main lens?
It could be done in smaller package and I pressume that 50mm main lenses in combination with right precoolimator will project even larger beam(lumen) than in your picture.
by my quick calculations with an 50 mm aspheric and everything else equal like in my setup u should have around ~320 kcd throw. by default u should benefit from a bigger spot also.
u don’t need to make precollimator smaller, i am pretty sure that even with my existing precollimator u could use an 50 mm lens. but to work well u should find one with a long focal length. in fact what you are asking is almost this (little bit smaller with less output)
in pure throw setup precollimator is very near the led maybe ~4mm. i don’t know exactly, have to take apart and find a way to measure.
one more photo of the light i made yesterday :
i have changed house lately and unfortunately now i am short of places to test throwers 
just have to put up in the sky
