Lol i keep going through this over and over again......... so awesome! by any chance have you recieved those ebay lenses yet?

 

[lazeerer]

Yup... I received them Saturday but still have not tested them yet. This is why i have not contacted you. Tomorrow i have off and will test them. The coating though looks great.

 

[LaZeRz]

Thanks a bunch! its alright if you dont test them tomorrow........ take your time lol i can wait dont worry. Also thanks on that fog tutorial! almost the only legal way to make smoke in Australia..... lol you cant go and buy a heap of chemicals and mix them together now can you?

btw your so lucky that you recieved the whole blu-ray sled when ordering the red diode lol maybe he didnt want to be bothered removing the reddie
Also nice that you chose a worthy host for it

have a good day Lazereer!

This is a Tutorial. Nice work. Handsome!!!

Err. Where are the capacitors in this driver?

 

[bluuray]

its his choice..
you dont NEED them , it just adds extra protection

 

[Wolfman29]

But isn't it stated as required in the datasheet for the LM3XX series?

 

[bluuray]

uhh... caps just protect the diodes from spikes ...:thinking:

 

[Wolfman29]

But the point is, isn't it the nature of the LM3XX series that there *will* be a current spike on start-up without a cap on the input?

Love it!!!

Hey,

I see More times Caps Killing Diodes then when you dont use them. I dont like using them in personal Builds. Period.

By the way, the build is still going smooth.

Edit: And I bumped it up. Look at my Sig.:na:

 

[Wolfman29]

Huh. You have a point with caps killing builds... you know what? I might stop using caps =p Gonna make some test drivers and do some tests on them, but you may have just solved all my driver problems!

 

[LaZeRz]

By the way where did you find an extension tube?

 

[lazeerer]

The Extension tube comes with the Host.

 

[Mohrenberg]

This thing is awesome

I wouldn't mind do a run of these. Especially since they don't require a boost drive!

EDIT: Holy shit, 4k posts.

 

[lazeerer]

Well you Promised me that you will make me another heatsink and i have been waiting for one for a wail.

I better be first in Line.
