Hi lumenharold,
What a coincidence - I was just looking the other day at the CSM-360, just got the data sheet from a friend. It has a 16mm dome and impressive lumen output.
IRstuff,
If the design was impossible nobody will be shy and will say this upfront. One thing I learned through the years is never make sugestions or show my way of thinking as the designer for some reason gets "locked" in this direction and will not try to think of other options. I do offer or...
I am aware about the heat issues - as I mentioned, LED systems is what I do. I prepared a concept model of this searchlight working with an array of 36x1W Rebels. The heat is reasonable and the housing is still unfinished as I need to finalize the optics first. When finished cooling ribs will be...
You are right - At close distances the colors won't mix, there will be 3 clear RGB spots. At distance they might mix well. Anyway, balancing RGB will also be a task and will almost for sure need decreasing some intensity in a device where each lumen should be squeezed well.
I was just...
I think that at this distance (200 meters not feet) at such a narrow beam there won't be such a separation. Let's not forget that practically the beams are not 100% sharp.
Pointing all to the desired distance, say 200m makes sense. This is of course a very small adjustment but interesting idea...
Being new to this forum I hope I place the question in the right place.
I am currently involved in the design of a power LED searchlight. The requirement is 4 lux at 200 meters with a 5-6 deg. beam (+/- 2.5-3 deg.)
While LED and LED systems is what I do for the last 13 years, I never attempted...
