12x BR DIODES

Has anyone contemplated the beauty of one of these 12x br diodes in a Kryton Groove? Im thinking that it would be a beautiful combination, but Iv already got a blue ray on the way from tech_junkie and a groove with an a140 diode on the way. Guess I should wait for the super high powered blue ray lol

I am not understanding exactly what you are saying ILIKELASERS...

When you say blue ray, are you talking about a 405nm diode, like from a PHR, GGW, or the 8x, 10x, or 12x, bluray sleds? The Bluray diodes are actually violetish in color. Or are you meaning the a140 diode because it is not called Blue ray, just a 445nm (blue) diode.

I have definately contemplated having a 12x 405nm diode in a kryton groove, and I will once the Kryton GB is all done!!! And IIRC, at least a few members like Daguin, jayrob, Hemlock_Mike and I think kenom have had 12x diodes in Grooves or still do.

The highest power bluray (405nm) diodes now are the 12x diode from a Pioneer BDR-205 sled and the 12x diode from a Lite-On SF-BW512L Sled. Some people are thinking these might be the same, just different manufactures. And the highest power achieved so far with this type of diode, if only for a few seconds was 998mW, but usually you can get a handheld to be around 600-650mW stable. I can't remember the persons name, (I'll get back to you on that) who got to 998mW with power supply, but it popped right after. No higher power has yet been achieved with 12x 405nm diodes.

Haha sorry I wasnt clear. i have a 405nm build on the way from Tech_junkie and A groove with an A140 445nm diode pre-pressed on the way here. I was contemplating putting one of the 405nm diodes in another kryton groove. I was calling the 405nm's blue-rays despite the fact that they are violet lol Hard habit to break I guess. An I believe it was Hemlock_Mike that achieve those power readings.

I was thinking about the kryton for a high powered 405nm because the krytons are said to have amazing heat-sinking. Guess i will find out when mine gets here.

"All 12x Owners" datasheet has been updated with the entrance of quantile and Morgan!

Concerning Morgan, he asked me to add in the "12x Diodes Bench Tested" datesheet the plots relevant to his two BDR-S06J diodes......
I know that Daguin has confirmed they are 10x (and I can shot a .45 bullet in my legs before saying that I don't trust him! :banghead;

BTW, it's interesting to notice that the two plotted curves fall in the range (and follow the slopes) of those relevant to the 12x.
In any case I'm ready to follow Dave suggestion about them.....:tinfoil:

Dave is probably right that it is the same diode as in the 10X drive but this would not be the first time a company has sold the same thing only limiting it so as to give a reason to sell it cheaper. In all reality it is a 12X diode since it is capable of it. Unless there is a reason to think this is not the sled is out of the S06J.

You can add me to the list-
SF-BW512L
Microboost
556mA
Mohrenberg Polished Host
405-G-1
Output best guess 730mW's until I get meter in hand

Hey FrancoRob, I may be misunderstanding here but I wasn't asking the graph for the, "Other Sled", to be added as a 12x diode. I only offered the data as interest for comparison. I see them posted as the BDR-S06J (10x?) and I think this is only sensible. (There was a bench tested SF-BW512L on the graph too though )

I am only calling it the, "Other Sled", because I personally am not certain just what it is but if it outputs like it does, I don't care what it's called. I am aware of sales tactics from suppliers but I have conflicting information here. I fully take on board Dave's experience and cannot deny it looks identical to the LG 10x sled but it wasn't sold as such so I middle the ground and call it the, "Other Sled". The important thing here is that there is another option and these diodes shouldn't be written off just yet as inferior. If anything those two graphs add weight to the argument they are diodes of similar spec. I see this as a similar situation to the GGW-H20L and SF-AW210 sleds. Similar diodes, similar outputs but one is generally cheaper.

As I said, I may have misunderstood but it seemed there for a minute that you may have thought I was trying to force an agenda. I assure you this wasn't the case.

I should have some more bench tests of these soon so I'll beam them over. Good to have all this stuff in one place.

Sorry for the delay in answering, but these days are so busy...

CD520: I'll add you for sure, can you pls confirm the 730mW is a "tested value"?

Morgan: maybe I have misunderstood you, but your message was:

"Hey FrancoRob,

I didn't see the data from my bench test in the list so just sending you a link to the figures in the, "12x BR diodes", thread. Here it is -

12x BR DIODES

Also, I was sent what was claimed to be a BDR-S06J 12x sled......."

The 12x BR DIODES addressed me to the data I plotted, I didn't find other data relevant to the SF-BW512L.

That said, I didn't see any warning "Wanted dead or alive" about you (and nor about me too, fiuuuuh :crackup and I have not understood your message as trying "to force the agenda": this Forum is open to enthusiast laser members, and I have found your data interesting for the similarity of the plotted curve, so I simply added the plots with what was to be intended a due clarification (always ready to modify my work according to Senjor Members advice...:bowdown.....:yh:

what is the best 18650 battery charger?

A lot of people say that the Pila IBC is the best charger for 18650 cells. I've never used one before, though, so I can't really comment on it.

After metering the 12x I find 680mW's.

Does v5 flex stand for flexdrive?

Here's another one to add:

Host - SolarForce L2
Diode - 12x from Lite-on sled
Driver - Microboost @ 550mA
Lens - 405-G-1
Power - 756mW
Run time - ~30 minutes

I do no more than 30 seconds on with at least 10-15 seconds off. Heat does not appear to be an issue especially with the large Jayrob SolarForce heatsink.

Happy new Year to all LPF members.
(p.s.: sorry for the delay, but I had the "smart" idea to upgrade excel 2003 with excel 2007....)
