Just making my point :D

Yes, but what I said with a NST and LEDs is 100% true, I have seen it done. No dangers involved besides somehow a dead LED if you happen to have a ma higher than 30ma. Not counting how to handle a NST but anybody who has one knows that part.

I would try that since it is a super low power, at least we know we wont blow it, And the voltage should be plenty for this, as long as you are in the safe area of current, volts do not matter, amps is what kills shit, almost like how you can power a 3 volt LED with a 15,000 volt 30ma neon sign...

Sorry, I am new to the forum and didnt know how well the color would show up. Yes, as I read it over I saw it was hard to read. And Sorry, I dont know a whole lot about laser diodes, I am used to high power tubes and crap like that. And some diodes can handle up to 3 amps (from what I just read)...

Well, IDK, have you tried to ballast them a little? I would try 240 volts but limited to 10 amps, I Since most diodes need some kind of ballast, at 240 volts, that way you should have plenty of voltage, but limited current so it stays cool. I am sure they can push 20 amps but I would recommend...

Well, according to your theory with more power in... Since they are made for about 3 volts and you pushed 120 in, it should be 40 times more powerful! And current is rated around 400ma and you tripped a 15 amp breaker. Maybe you didnt pass the threshold current. I would try it with a 20 amp...
