Hello,
I finally managed to have a first look at those neat devices and do some measurements, thanks David for sending a couple. Now the first thing was to kill the red diode of one device. I like to replace it, but it is totally unclear whether it is practically feasible, given the ultra-precise but hardly adjustable press-mount.
So the question is: did anybody succeed replacing the red diode without messing up beam collimation and centering?
An analogous question is about the PL530. As it turns out, they can vary quite a lot in power and spectral purity. On the other hand, the collimation optics of the white light engine is pretty good. However, the PL530 seems pretty tightly pressed into the holder, and it is unclear whether it makes sense to try to replace it with a better one.
So the question is: did anybody succeed with replacing the PL530 while maintaining the excellent collimation?
Thanks for tips!
Wolfgang
