Hi LPF,
I was just wondering if a laser diode/LED's forward voltage is high, is the efficiency worse?
I came up with this idea because a constant current driver adjusts the voltage to match the required current. However, if the forward voltage is higher, the driver needs to increase its voltage is well. Will this result in a higher current draw from the batteries? Just wondering. :thinking:
Cheers! :beer:
