Hello LPF,
When I first saw this diode pop up a few months ago I was very exciting and kept polking the thread for updates haha.
When DTR had them available I ordered one right away, however when it arrived I was in transition with work and such so just recently I started the build. I designed this module case negative to work in Sinners pen hosts he is building but in the mean time I had an empty S4 host with an anodized green heat sink. This however would prove problematic. soldering the diode to the driver was tedious since I had to dewire both the driver and diode but it went fine.
LAZEERER Xboost driver set to 500ma
powered by one 18650.
RAWR
The problem was getting continuity since the module was case negative and the paint on the host was tough, I spent a lot of time going back and forth with a dremal wire wheel then with a sand stone. this was done of course without the diode present. Even after I achieved continuity there was 5 ohms of resistance between the module and where the tail cap contacts.
Output
when I connected everything together i tested the raw output..i would not call this ***y but i guess it could be worse
lets put this on the LPM
i got a PEAK of 141mW with a G2 lens. Honestly i was disappointed i didn't get atleast 250mw but maybe when i get the Sinner host that might pick up.
Thanks for reading! tonight ill have to see what the beam looks like at night.
