Questions about Laser Tubes
Posted: Tue Feb 24, 2015 9:39 pm
Hi All;
My build has progressed to the point that I am now looking into Laser Tubes and Power supplies.
The first question is concerning tube length. I have looked at the light Object 40 W tube and it is 830mm long. It appears that it will fit in the standard 2.x frame.
Does anyone have comments about whether there is any problem dimensionally with that tube?
My second question has to do with sourcing. The Light Object 40 W tube is $215 + about $90 shipping. There are several ebay sources that are lower cost. I'm wondering how iffy the E-bay sources are regarding damage, warranty, support etc.? I would appreciate any comments pro or con regarding sourcing of the tube.
My final question has to do with the Laser power supply. The LO supply is $235 + $30 shipping. There are a ton of supplies on Ebay in the 90 to 125 dollar range. Many with free shipping. It appears that the LO Power supply is just another run of the mill Chinese Supply. Am I missing something?
Thanks for any advice on the above.
Regards,
Dick
