100 Power vs Full Power

[palmercr]

I don’t know other than rated life is for rated max power and going over that reduces it fast.

So it seems like i’ve asked a good question? hahahahahahahah.

Seems obvious to me that having the same settings for Proofgrade on both a basic and pro model not only saves developing two sets of setting matrices, but also allows forum members to repeat what others have done, even though they may have a different model.

I’m really glad they did it this way. It will avoid a lot of confusion, frustration, and emails to support.

Could just have been a power scale in Watts. That would allow interchange between basic and pro.

Thanks for the help everyone! And sorry it wasn’t clear @newbies_234 - you can read more about Precision and Full Power in this article we posted earlier this year.

Full can be a sacrifice as you are using the laser to its full potential in theory, that can shorten tube life.

This is incorrect. The laser is designed to operate in Full Power Mode. There is no known reduction in tube life for doing so.
