    I now know what an LED 209 looks like

    Well the holy grail of having a 1 watt 209 is still out there somewhere. I wasn't the one to find it. I did learn what turning a nice diode into an LED looks like. Ran great for about 30 seconds. Then no nice bright light. Came inside and saw a dim violet glow. That last 100 mA was the straw...

    What's the highest mA you've set your BDR 209?

    I had one run happily at 600, then at 700. No problems yet.(only a 30mw increase) I have a couple spare diodes, as they weren't overly expensive, and they are fun little burners. Thanks

    some new pics 1/27

    Always beautiful. The way the light appears to be curved on a couple photos is very trippy. How do you bend the light ? Unless it's a trade secret. I'd understand if it was. Thanks again for the shared beauty.

    Always thought our US postal service is cheap for what you get. Government employee picks up a letter from my house,takes it all the way across the country. Another government employee puts it in a box in front of my friends house. For 49 cents.

    Polished S4X and NUBM44

    Driver set at 4.5. The ball I got from Harbor Freight was listed as fine. Forgot to mention, I then put it on the polishing wheel with lots of old different rouges left on it. I recharged it using green rouge. To be honest, the abrasive ball did all the work Thanks for the compliments :)

    Polished S4X and NUBM44

    Hi everyone,I was able to get an unanodised host from Gary when they first came out. After trying various grits of sandpaper, and different compounds on my large polishing wheel, I came across this cheap item from Harbor Fright. Basically a round ball made of that 3M scratchy pad material. Like...

    WTB: dragon lasers10x beam expander.

    Bought the Dragon Lazer 2X. I too was underwhelmed. Do have a JL 10X. Beautiful, works great and was quite happy with the $99 I paid for it.

    BDR 209 slight bump from dr

    Thanks for your answer. I'll turn mine back down. Sorry to hear your died at 600mA. Jordan says not to run em too high. He tests them very throughly and of course is the expert.
