sure hope these are one watt diodes.

Now i need to find a 630mA to 670mA that runs on 3 volts ;D   anyone?


I am sure its just 500mW IR diode as the nova x series  diode runs at 650mA and out putting 500mW

I think its kinda high for a 500mw, although the threshold is around the right level for a 1 watt. but this is also the green component, so it may be starting to lase a lot lower than 250ma. One watt diodes are <300ma for the threshold. I dont know what the threshold of a 500mw diode is, but I would assume that it is a lot less... around 150ma...

I hope it is 1 watt however i messed around with one of the diodes which was unfocused and it was more like 500mW but why is it so important if its 1 watt?

so, is this a cmount diode thats in it? I dont want to take it apart, I might not be able to get it back into the right place very easily... If its a cmount, it would be nice. I think 670ma is too much for a 500mw diode. I hope its a 1 watt diode running half power. (plus if this is the case, it could take an amp. and who knows how much green that would make.)

Not sure if it a cmount it just looks like a big open can diode and i dont think the crystal will take double the power would be cool if it does that would be like 250mW of green!

is there any way you could get a picture of it? :-?

Re: awesome lab quality 50mw modules for 65.00+5.0

Sorry but i have manage to aline the diode up perfect and i dont want to ruining that but like i said it looks like a big open can.

thats ok, I don't blame you. thats why im not taking mine apart.

Anyone making theres portable know of a good driver that can run of 3 volts that cam manage 630mA to 670mA? and a good host?

Re: awesome lab quality 50mw modules for 65.00+5.0

Im still not convinced that thats a safe level for these... I would tend to stay under 500ma if you want to be safe... the diode sure appears like it could be a 500mw diode. :-/

Re: awesome lab quality 50mw modules for 65.00+5.0

Ok i guess a 450mA to 700mA driver and like i said why does it need to be 1 watt diode

Re: awesome lab quality 50mw modules for 65.00+5.0

he isnt saying it needs to be a 1w for anything. He's saying that the operating current of these things is much higher than a 500mw diode should be able to handle.

 

[ben74]

Re: awesome lab quality 50mw modules for 65.00+5.0

But then the crystal would not manage the extra power, does not matter.

Re: awesome lab quality 50mw modules for 65.00+5.0

It may or may not.. doesnt mean it cant handle it just because its rated at 50mw.

**replacement for me was sent out yesterday! Hope its a good one!
