6X diodes are used to achieve 245mW's, add a 405-G1 and you've got around 300-330mW's.
What currents are you setting these GGWs to, to achieve 245mW after plastics?
Among 60+ GGWs i only found ONE that was capable of 236mW at 200mA.
And i don't set them higher than that, cos i want them to last a minimum of a year or more of normal pointer use. And even that requires me to weed out 15-20% of the weaklings! :cryyy:
So where is your "secret"? Or is it more current?
Or are you using the SF-AW 6x diodes for higher efficiency? Haven't tested any yet myself, but would like to.. Do you have any experience with those?
The 400mW+ builds use BDR 8x diodes, and include a 405-G1 lens as well, the output of these builds may varry slightly anywhere from 390-500mA! these BDR diodes are random in efficiency, but its still the most powerfull 5.6mm 405nm diode money can buy right now.
Are you talking about the BDR-S03's?
Did you do any plots by any chance or other kind of testing, something i could compare my test results to?
How many S03's did you go through?
