Where the cheapest I can get a blue ray 4x or 6x diode and what kind of prices should I be looking at? I am going to build a blue ray laby between the powers of 150 and 250mW.

BrewCityMusic said:I never push PHR's over 120mA, and I've had a few fail at that input, even with beefy heatsinking (I tend to run them fixed at 114mA and that's proven pretty safe)...
150-200mW? Someone's been reading a lot on Ebay, it would seem...
I'm pretty sure everyone will be with me on that one; You'd rather spend a few more $ and get twice the fun, grab a 8x.charlie bruce said:The 4X diode is available for $38, and can be pushed marginally further than the PHRs in general. I would get an 8X (if I had the money!) and have a lot of fun at 500+mW!
