duty cycle on 532nm PGL-III-C 350mw?

[fubada]

Hi. What is the official duty cycle on this pen? CNI is on holiday and has not responded to my emails. At 3minutes the host is at room temperature. I have nut pushed it past 3min.

CNI, 350mw PGL-III-C
Thank you.

i would imagine the only people able to give you an 'official' duty cycle would be CNI who you purchased it from.

but yeah, they will be on holiday until the 7th or 10th, i forget which.

its not too much longer

Are you sure you have your model right? A PGL-III-C could be described as many things; a "pen" is not one of them...

Yes, arytha, I meant portable laser

I've run my PGL-III-C 400mw without any damage for periods over 5 min. - in fact, it takes about half long even to get to peak power.

Thanks Arytha. This is a really awesome laser.

Reason I was asking is because I read a couple of posts about 500mw PGL-III-C's having a strict 60 second duty cycle.

RA_Pierce has one of the most powerful 532 PGL-III-C's around; he runs it longer than that.
