Yes at that current draw you should be getting 200mW out of that sucker.
I also bough one of these and it arived broken so when I had the time I made a device to set the tube in so I could push out the heatsink and driver which was not glued in but had a very tight fit holding it in, the only way to get it out is to push it out with the proper setup or cut the tube. so I took it apart and found that the input fet was blown. I removed the driver from the diode and powered the diode up with my lab supply, @ 40ma 4.87v it was putting out 5mW @ 60ma 5.24v it was only puttng out 20mW I took it only a little further and was not getting good results so I stopped there. this diode seems weak to me, I have another one on the way hope it works upon arival !

Meter probes were between battery and case....Is it just me, or does that seem a little high?
