I've read a lot of conflicting information about this.
One datasheet from Ophir says it's only good to 5W and only the .1 version (which is 0.1V/W) can read up to 20W.
Another datasheet says it's limited to (input voltage - 2V) and lists a max voltage of +-18V, which would mean it can go up to 16W.
PS: all the datasheets agree you shouldn't go above 4W without a heatsink.
Has anyone ever tried going above 5W on one of these?
