Well, yes I know many people have asked what's the current to run a 16x (300ma) and 22x (420ma), but how about an 18x that I got? It is not so common... so what current should I run it at, and roughly, what mW would I be expecting?
I'm planning to use a good heatsink (something like Jayrob's) My diode is a closed can. (what does it mean by long or short anyway?)
