So my $200 LG 8x diode LED'd tonight.
Sad way to start off my weekend. It hadnt been run for more than a minute without getting an equal cool down time and it was in a kryton barrel so pretty well heatsinked. I think it may have something to do with the beam being directed back into the pointer. I had it sitting (pointing down into the beer) atop a stationary beer bottle that was half full.
Sound likely to burn a pointer out?
