Module : aixiz comes with LOC


1.Any places I can get these cheaper.

2.With this mA and arylic aixiz module what mw should I get and what should be the duty cycle.

3.If I want unlimited duty cycle what mA should I put it to and what mw would it be.

BluRay may have the LOC for cheaper, PM him or look in the BST section. Driver is going to be updated in the near future, I'd wait for him to post on there. Heatsink and host won't be found cheaper unless you want to buy a different one or build it yourself. At 420mA you get around 250mW after acryllic lens, 300mW after glass. For unlimited DC it all depends on the heatsink, as well as iif you use thermal paste, you should experiment when you've built it. Rough guide, stop when it starts getting warm to the touch, as long as it's not due to body heat.
