How many ma does a 55mw WL greeie use?

[carulli]

I broke th driver on my green laser earlyer this week and I need to replace it. The problem is that I have no idea what current to run the driver at. I was hoping that someone with a 55mw WL green laser could measure how much curent the pump diode was using, so I can make a driver or get one made. Please help, its my only laser.

You could always start low, and slowly increase the pot until it's close to the original brightness.

Ill keep that in mind but an exact figure would be nice.
