So I put the 150mW blu-ray Diode from LSP to the test.:angel:

Lens: 405nm G-1 glass
Heatsink: 1-1/4" x 3" alumimun
PS: 18V 3A bench
Meter: Knimrod DIY Thermopile calibrated

Here is the results:evil:

300 LEDed:banghead:

I was planning to push it to 300mA.:cryyy:

Well that's certainly a bummer, the SF-AW laser I have performs better than that :(

Judging from the price, I'd think these diodes would be roughly equivalent to 6X rather than 8X. I would have been surprised to see this running at 300mA.

If I remember correctly the 8X are 250mW pulsed and 12X are 320 and 350mW pulsed. The 12X are from Nichia and Sanyo respectively.

thats what I was gonna say...
thats why I was going to throw out the thought that its "safe" current levels seem to line up somewhere between the 4X and the 6X.

Hmm... my SF-AW210 does 260mw @ 230ma thru an LSP Lens. So using the awesome 405 lens the 'Nichia 150cw' performs about like my AW210 with the inferior LSP lens. Time to get a 405 G1 lens so I can touch the 300mw range... hahaha
