    Default Increasing a gobo projectors LED wattage?

    OK I am in the market for a high powered gobo projector as my 15 watt one is not bright enough.

    I am looking at the ADJ LED Icon (60 watt) and lfs-75 (75 watt)(£350):

    My questions is, can i upgrade the inside of the light to house a 50 watt (or greater) lightsorce?
    I want to print my own gobs using my laser printer, so that needs to be taken into consideration.

    I assume more power management on board level is required and a fan needs to be installed?
    It would be a cost effective way to achieve the perfect solution as i love the light, its just not bright enough.

    I am also looking at bright standalone (no PC) projectors, but may do a separate post on that.

    late reply I know..
    been away from here for a bit.
    if you want to upgrade the led module you will need to increase the power supply and the cooling of the actual led, bigger heatsink and probably add a fan for helping it dissipate the removed heat. you will find that its a voltage thing not just a current supply issue as the more power needed is usually used by increasing the voltage, without knowing the package of the led already you might be able to use something readily available, also the optics might need looking at, if its a bigger physical led then it might not all focus under the present package fitted, how much modification you might need to do to the case aswell to move air around and fit a power supply,
    if you have time and don't mind playing then yeah I'm all for it but sometimes its better to get something already designed to do the job rather than try to make something else do it.
