Re: Casio 445nm Diodes *IN STOCK* :paypal: for one. MM, please double-check your email and/or PM for the details I forgot to put in the PP send.

Re: Casio 445nm Diodes *IN STOCK* I am IN for one. I just got caught up on this development, and HOLY MACKEREL things move fast. I've got a Dorcy host just waiting for this. I'm at work and so will check back in tonight to send the PP unless told otherwise.

If that 5x ratio I noted earlier between the two graphs stands, you're looking at 195x5=975 hours before death. By the way, I received the units, and both of them rock. Thanks IgorT!

The number 3 plot looks like a copy of the #1 plot, scaled out in time 5x... unless it's just a coincidence of measurement error, it looks as though the #1 diode is degrading at 5x the speed, but the same pattern.

Ah, welcome back Igor! Glad to see you back :gj: My humble speculation re: degradations: :whistle: The pattern of immediate degradation followed by levelling-off, reminds me of MTBF data for mass-produced hardware. You get an immediate loss of those items that were defective, followed by a...

I'm with LarryDFW at 345mA or thereabouts. I picked his number because he has graphs. :na:

I've got one of the red lasers that runs on 2xCR123, has a brass ring in the midsection, and is focusable, that I *think* is known as the Sentorch, because it came in a group buy run by Senkat a year or more ago. The diode and driver run fine, but the switch is utter crap -- a solder blob is...

Case Positive it is; I put in a 3V primary cell and it runs fine. Thanks for the info, PA_Pierce, hopefully my days of killing greenies with stupid polarity errors is at an end. I PM'd Dave about which module is in here.

I take "Case Positive" as meaning: negative to the module contact (while most flashlights with positive to the head, would therefore be "case negative"). Is this common for these? That CNI was negative to the module contact also. edit: I see your saying that all the ones you've seen are...

I just received an upgraded Galileo from daguin, which has been upgraded to a 200mW module (I assume from O-like, or DX). It looks just fine, but there's no indication of polarity. The module is the sort that has a coiled contact sticking out of it. This is a RCR123A setup (3.6V). I don't...

I know it :D ( I have the advantage of being in Dave's time zone.) thanks Dave!

Romisen host, v3 sink, IgorT driver for me.

:paypal: I let that gorgeous 220mW Jayrob blu of Dave's get away last week because I didn't want to butt in, so I'm not letting this one get away :evil:

I'll be taking *this* one. PP inbound as soon as I check PM's for your email addy. What sort of duty cycle would be advisable for a build like this?

Email inbound.

:pop: (thx Bryce!)

Well, I don't want to be a buttinski, so tell you what: I'll give those who inquired before me until Friday morning. If they make you a deal before then, it's theirs. If they pass, or I don't see a "sold" by Friday morning (let's say 12 noon Eastern time), she's mine. I'll PM you re: payment...

I shouldn't, I really shouldn't, seeing as I've committed to an IgorT 8x build, but it's so hard to pass up.... ...but I'll take it, IF you and Mario can't reach a deal. Where in SoCal are you, Dave? I'll be there this weekend, if you are around L.A. I might be able to save you the bother...

Just got the email... sorry for the slowy, the GF was in town until this morning ;) Payments and emails going out in a few minutes. edit: :paypal:

Hey IgorT, I'd be interested in a complete build from you, with one of these. PM me with the deet$. I'd be looking for an 8x setup with the 405-G-1 lens and IgorT driver, backed off just a tad after testing for reliability. I'm not picky about the host, other than it be built well. Quote me...
