MISTERWILLING:
I have recorded this "death" just because (in addition to the broken window) you have noticed some degradation "after 2-3 hours of use at 400mA with 1-2 minute duty cycles"; probably it could be useful to add a note explaining the reasons of the death (I'll add it). But I know that in your case the main failure reason is maybe not one that may be taken into consideration for the 8x BR "life test". If the other members will suggest me a "rule" about the failures to be recorded or not, it would be really helpful for the scope of the datasheet.
From another point of view, you have been honest to declare the failure; for me, it's really difficult to find the info concerning the 8x owners and the diodes operating life....it looks that some owners do not give any importance to supply data relevant to their 8x....
I hope to read from you soon for new 8x....:yh:
I would like to underline that for the meaning of the datasheet it's the Forum "owner" experience which is important: so, if any manufacturer (actually recorded) has sold his 8x to another Forum member, I would like to insert this info (of the new owner) in the datasheet....
In the case of Pseudolobster second 8x death (Dave is right) the owner was the boss of Pseudo, not a Forum member...
