Hi. I got some 6x sleds, or so they say they are, and I ran a few tests but I'm not sure if it's really a 6x burner or not. The sled looks almost exactly the same as others say the sled should look, and even looks like the h10n sled but without the yellow-brown digital serial number sticker.
The diode is extracted and in an aixiz module and tested without a lens. At 135ma it was drawing about 5.5 volts. The beam also seemed to change, a kink I guess, at around 140ma. I thought I read somewhere here that a real 6x burner does not have a visible kink? So I purchased a GGW-H20L 6x burner drive and extracted the sled & diode.
The 6x drive when ran at 135ma was drawing about 4.7 volts. There was also no visible kink in any range tested up to 180ma, looked like a smooth ramp watching it on paper without a lens. At 180ma it was drawing about 5 volts. I believe the output power was significantly higher too than the other. I also tested a PHR and it seemed to have a kink in the same range of 140ma. This 6x seems similar to the PHR and not like the 6x drive.
The only difference I can see compared to the 6x drive is that this sled's digital serial number sticker (the sticker on top, lens side, near the diode heatsink) is glossy white compared to the 6x drive's flat-matt white (not glossy). I believe these sleds came from a china dealer and are sold as GGW 6x.
So does anyone have accurate/recent information on 6x tests? How about 6x sleds compared to 6x drives? Has anyone recently purchased a GGW 6x from a china dealer and what voltage does yours run at when set to X ma and is your digital serial number a glossy or non-glossy white sticker?
