Interesting. I think we could verify that V(r) spec one way or the other without damaging the diode, if we are careful about limiting the current to a very small amount like microamps, using a curve tracer. I still wonder if they are guessing about the actual datasheet just as much as we are... ;)

I haven't tried that - yet, but now that these are down to under $15, I just might do it for fun, and post the results in here. Also, if anyone else tries this experiment, please post the results... Muhuhaha! [smiley=evil.gif] Update: 12-16-08 Here are some actual measurements: My weakest...

This one is starting to look more real! :D the one at the bottom, that is..

Re: GGW-H20L 6x Sled GB!!! THE EPIC GB THREAD LAWL Oh, right. I think I remember you mentioning that before, but in all the excitement, some brain -cells must have gotten by-passed. Sorry to bug you about it... ;)

So, is she selling just 1, or would she be able to get us (meaning you, Igor) just one to test, or does it require a GB?

Re: GGW-H20L 6x Sled GB!!! THE EPIC GB THREAD LAWL Now, all we need is a lens that can handle it ... Igor, Hint, hint... ;)

I know it SOUNDS ridiculous, but it actually works! I think I got the idea from gooeygus, who did something similar with a 375mW Prometheus - only with this you can only loose a few bucks if it backfires. :D Edit: BTW - It DID NOT work on my 150mW DX pointer - same power out, but did help a...

Disclaimer: Try this at your own risk! Don't blame me if you kill your cheap laser pointer! Bored with you green DX dog toy? Do you wish it would pop balloons or maybe even light a match? Try this - By simply replacing the 2 AAA NiMH or Alkaline batteries in your 5mW DX pointer such as...

Hey, Igor, at the bottom the First data sheet it clearly states these diodes are "Class 4....." Maybe they are 12X or 16X ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Yea, the more I look at that data sheet, the more it just don't add up. Typical threshold current of 25mA, yet Operating at 35mA, with 100mW output - that just don't make any sense to me. ::) Must be damned efficient diode. I don't think I could survive another fall off a turnip truck... ;)...

What would we do without you, Igor?! :D :D You ARE da Man!

I guess I'm hoping that if the bag gets big and heavy enough, I'll start taking my own advice seriously, LOL ::)

Wow, I didn't even notice this thread until just a few min ago! I was just thinking of PM'ing you Igor, and suggesting you go "public", since it seems the best way to get these things resolved at times... On her site there is now a part number for the diode - LD405120HJ7. If this is real, I...

With this PS you are going to get, all you would really need is a resistor. Say you wanted to power up a Bluray like a PHR for example. So you may want to try putting 100mA through it. We know from the data on these that the diode will have something like a little under 5.5V@100mA, so using...

Partly because, as Explorer877 mentioned - the current control knob may be very sensitive, and partly because if any connection to the diode becomes intermittent - it will prevent your diode from getting killed. Still, I would recommend keeping a small zip-lock bag to put your dead ones in, I...

Nice deal, looks perfect for this hobby!

Re: Blu-Ray laser popping 14 balloons - kinda funn Seemed like a good idea at the time. Wifey wasn't too pleased though.. ::)

Nice find! I looked around on DX the other day for 2 hours and don't remember seeing these, but then they have Soo Much stuff! :-?

Yeah, That's the ticket! This can reduce the power dissipation in higher power reds by over 1/4W. BTW, Kenom, these ARE some really beautiful hosts! :D
