OK. the new one is built. It is in an MXDL host. It is using the diode harvested form a PHR-803T sled taken from a Toshiba SD-H802A HD DVD player. It uses one 17670 powering a drlava flexdrive. It has a Jayrob heat sink. It uses a Merideth glass lens. I have shortened the adapter to allow the diode to get closer to the lens.
I am driving it at 190mA. It is putting out 180mW. I have done the first couple of two minute burns. It peaks above 200mW and settles right down to 180mW. It holds the 180mW very steadily. It remains cool to the touch.
Now I start doing 2-3 minute burns several times a day until it dies, or I get tired of changing batteries.
Pray for me
I can't wait for it to get dark here.
This is just to make you jealous:
Peace,
dave
