I thought I would post to see if anybody else has noticed a large improvement in efficiency in the M-140 diodes over th A-140's?
I generally anticipate a power loss of 15-20% between the current setting of the driver and power output of the diode, but with these M-140's I just haven't been seeing much of a loss, if any at all. And, in a couple of builds they actaully LPM higher than the current running through them.
Here's several examples of the results I've been getting:
1. Using one of RHD's Mosquito drivers set at 1.72A and powered by 2 18350 cells, I am getting an output of 1.65W with a glass Aixiz lense and 2040mA with a G2 lense.
2 and 3. Using a flexdrive set at 1,150mA and powered by a 16340 cell produces 1.25W, and another using the same driver and current setting peaked at 1315mW on an AW ICR 10440 cell.
4. Using a Mohgasm 1.62A driver and powered by 2 18350 cells outputs 1.54W.
Is anybody else achieving similar efficiencies in their builds, or did I just happen to get several fluke diodes in a row?
And, has anybody tried pushing these beyond 2A, to see if maybe they have any higher capability than the A-140's?
