Re: DTR's Laser Shop: 445 M140 Diodes $45 Shipped US Diodes-Drivers-Lenses-LEDs & M
Sounds good. Yea 10X,12X,14X are the drive speed ratings for the unit they came out of not necessarily a good way to describe the capabilities of the diodes but it seemed to hold good when going from 4X to 6X to 10X but not in the later generations but 6X to 10X is a much bigger jump than going from 12X to 14X. It was sad to see that again when they went to the 14X burners here recently they did not need a stronger diode to do it than what was already in 10X and 12X burners. I was really hoping to find a 1W+ single mode diode in that thing.
