    my new laser tube has arrived and i am confused.

    123.JPGok you all heard my drama of my 80 watt Trotec pumping 45 watts. I call Trotec and they offer to replace it if I pay for the service call. My new tube just arrived and I get a little concerned as the box says 60 watt tube. What!! I open the box and the tube has this sticker on it. What exactly does this mean????

    I'm not sure why you are confused... The original 80 watt turned out to be 45 and the replacement 80 watt that may be - 80 watts, 60 watts, or 180 watts. Perfectly clear to me.

    It would make sense if the space between the "1" and the "8" was a little bigger.

    ok I spoke to Iridion the tube manufacturer and they say the tube (that is marked 180W) is "Maximum 110 watts"
    When I asked about my old tube (the 80 that is only giving 45) they said it was "Minimum 60 Actual 90"
    Now can you see why it is confusing??? LOL Geesh!
