Hey Guys,


So just want to give everyone and Update.

SO I got the Diodes in and there is a Little Bummer.


Got the Diodes in:

I have all the Packaging ready to package them all up and ship all diodes out to everyone Monday even GB 2 since they shipped both orders together:
9381c833.jpg



But, they sent me the wrong diodes.:yabbmad: Supper Bummer.:cryyy:


So we all are going to have to be a little more patient for the replacements to come in.

I already contact the supplier and they are looking where the mix up was. It is For sure not on my end as i checked all my papers and its the correct diode I ordered. I do know there is 2 different 3.8mm diodes they offered so we got "BY MISTAKE" The Wrong ones.


Again thanks for everyones Patient.

Sorry for the bummer guys. I wish i could slap the one that packaged up our diode upside the head right about now.:scowl:

Thanks for the update. You are not to blame for the mistake.
What are the diodes on the table ? Maybe they are interesting. :)

Thank You for Understand. Dealing with Oversea "China" is a little frustrating. But more important thank you for understanding. Most of everyone has been around long enough to know GB tend to always have a Hick up in it...

I just hate to keep you guys waiting.:(

I only tested 2 but looked at all of them to make sure Iam not seeing things and they are diffrent but the 2 i tested LED around 650mA and Put out ~380mW with a 650-G1 lens.

Also THe LINES that come off the side are Nearly GONE.

It looks like they are the LPC-826 diodes.

Thank You.

I will have to return these. These are Cheaper diode and Not on the Limited stock list like the other ones. So I can always get these in the future. They are cheaper then your LPC-826 diodes and appear to be on pair with them.

Yes. I think they are on Pair in power. These are also Dual WL.

The ones we order are not.

Or are you saying that they are as in they really are.?:

These are 3.8mm:
