Hey everyone...
So the story goes: I ordered my 350mW IR filtered greenie from Rayfoss and it was beautiful (~420mW) until the diode stopped outputting what it did before (down to ~70mW) (Note: didn't go over the duty cycle!!) so I sent it back and they repaired it for free and sent it back to me.
Works great now (420mW-480mW) but I realized they took out the IR filter and the IR light tested at 40mW. I'm obviously not complaining about the power loss because 380mW is still above the advertised 350mW that I bought it's more of the safety issue that I'm worried about...
I don't want to go through a whole 'nother send it back and have them fix it and send it back so I get it 50 months later so I was wondering a) how hard is it to install your own IR filter or b) if it is difficult would anyone be willing to do it for me/where could I get it done?
:thanks:
