I am just going to pray. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!

 

[ARG]

Spread sheet is now live here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Agl60dWgiC12dEJIaUkwN1p0MGU0YWtTZWRYb2FOLVE&usp=sharing

Going to be adding the data in soon.

 

[Atomicrox]

Watching. Damn, the poor thing is very wavelength-variable (or whatever that property is called)..

 

[ARG]

Hum, diode is only rated for 150mA, but efficiency hasn't dropped yet so I'm going to take it up to 250mA now.

 

[Atomicrox]

IMHO you should go on. Can you add a current vs. power graph?

 

[ZRaffleticket]

Ahhh nichia hasn't ever let us down for low-balling an operating current yet right?

 

[Mattronium]

Sweet! 476.7nm! Watching this live is better that many movies lol.

 

[Atomicrox]

On to 50mW@480nm XD

 

[ARG]

Nope

250mA and efficiency is still increasing. Taking her to 300mA now

@Atomic, I can put one in but it won't do updates as I update the sheet.

 

[Atomicrox]

Sounds good to me

 

[benmwv]

ARG you might as well get a package ready with my address because I'm winning.

 

[ARG]

So, uh this just happened.

Random 480nm line came by to say 'ello

Edit: The line disappears when I turn it back to 250mA, so it's not my spectrometer.
What the eff is going on here? The lines are of similar intensity.

 

[Atomicrox]

Holy shit. I'm a divinator now.

Please tell me you're recording a video... or at least take a picture. What does it look like?


BTW: graph is sloping down now.

 

[IsaacT]

A multiline diode? Wth???

Now I want to win more than ever! This thing is so unique!

 

[bloompyle]

*please win*

You know me and my multilines

If it's not the meter, then it's not the diode.

All I know about multiple lines involves gas, and a medium for it to pump through. This is new to me...

Please use a grating, I need to see this.
