Alright, got a bit of a debate for you guys, something Ive been pondering on but haven't tried yet.
The question is: Do you think it is safe to use a 3 element glass lens with the 9mm diode.
The reason I ask is because I have heard before that it isn't safe to use a 3 element on anything above 1.5W or so due to the reflections back into the diode from where the output hits the lens barrel.
I would like to put a 3 element on one of my 9mm cause I really like the beam pattern of the 3 element lenses much better, makes a much tighter beam then the G2/G9 lenses.
Let me know what all of you think.
