Thanks for the recommendation. I will look into getting into contact with DTR.
So, using two AAA batteries isn't an overly powerful supply that will burn out the diode? Was the issue really that I just used the wrong host since this 488nm diode is incompatible with a case...

Yeah, I purchased the pre-assembled DTR module (driver+diode in a copper housing with lens)
Oh no. So I guess I should not have used the (+) wire on the case while testing, since this is not a case positive diode? I was not aware of that factor, but thank you for the input. Dang.
