150mW CW Nichia Diode from LSP

[TheMonk]

So I put the 150mW blu-ray Diode from LSP to the test.:angel:

Lens: 405nm G-1 glass
Heatsink: 1-1/4" x 3" alumimun
PS: 18V 3A bench
Meter: Knimrod DIY Thermopile calibrated

Here is the results:evil:

300 LEDed:banghead:

I was planning to push it to 300mA.:cryyy:

Well that's certainly a bummer, the SF-AW laser I have performs better than that

 

[chipdouglas]

did you at least order a back up?op:

 

[digital_blue]

Half the stuff at LSP looks very similar to stuff from O-like...

 

[Crossfire]

Judging from the price, I'd think these diodes would be roughly equivalent to 6X rather than 8X. I would have been surprised to see this running at 300mA.

Nope, I was hopping this is the 8x.:drool:
I already have a GGW 6x, my next one would be the 8x.:san:

If I remember correctly the 8X are 250mW pulsed and 12X are 320 and 350mW pulsed. The 12X are from Nichia and Sanyo respectively.

@k1kb0t, bennycast found this article on a 10x and it says the 10x is 320mw pulsed.

I stand corrected, 420mW and 450mW.

From 40mA - 120mA it seems to behave a lot like a PHR..

 

[Meatball]

thats what I was gonna say...
thats why I was going to throw out the thought that its "safe" current levels seem to line up somewhere between the 4X and the 6X.

May it rest in peace :angel:

Hmm... my SF-AW210 does 260mw @ 230ma thru an LSP Lens. So using the awesome 405 lens the 'Nichia 150cw' performs about like my AW210 with the inferior LSP lens. Time to get a 405 G1 lens so I can touch the 300mw range... hahaha
