They are run at 1.44A in the projector at a 30% duty cycle, I have on doing a burnin test at said 1.44A and so far after a day of burning I haven't been able to detect a drop in power (so it is within 0.5% of what it was this morning). Power output is about 2w depending on if you consider losses from the focusing lenses.
Yep... the battery couldn't handle the high current draw at that setting...
Put one of these in there:
AW 18650 Protected 2600 mAh Rechargeable Lithium Battery - New Version
That battery will handle over 2500mA's of current draw... (specs say over 5 Amps)
just got this battery today and it still flashes on and off...
I haven't heard that they are been run that high in the projector. I think they're run at like 600-700mw depending on the setting. Spyderfire has one running at 1400ma putting out 1.2watts... or it might be the other way around.
Leaning toward a driver issue then...
Have you tried turning it down to 900mA's?
It's supposed to max out at 1000...
Yeah, mine had some kind of white thermal grease on it too :undecided:There was some kind of white gunk on it so it needed more desperate measures.
Where did they get these diodes from, the Roswell alien crash? I got one up to 2.2W at 1.8A OMFG! Power measured without a lens, diode did not appear to be damaged from this brief 5 minute test. The calibration accuracy of my high range meter is 10% so it could be low of 1.88W to as high as 2.42W. My guess is it's just about 2W... from a 5.6mm can...
