Igor;
The "average" today on the 12X chart thread is a staggering 606 mw.
That's hard to believe, but I double checked the numbers.
The 1st 8X diode was rated ~200 mw peak pulse power.
It lasted 400 hours @ 150% of peak pulse power: 300 mw.
Both Nichia & Sharp 12X press releases state 320 mw peak power:
150% of rated peak power = 480 mw
160% of rated peak power = 512 mw
170% of rated peak power = 544 mw (~ the power level of 2nd 8X tested)
So somewhere in this range of 150 to 170% would be a good test level.
We need to get an idea of our LPF operating points,
in relation to diode manufacturers peak power rating.
