Is this Led'd

Yobresal, did these symptoms follow?

My diode starts at 20mW then fades out to nothing. Never gets bright.

This is what is happening... Diode problem is more likely than driver huh... I bought 2 more 140s

Looks messed up indeed... if it isnt crap on the window i'd consider it dead.

 

[Toaster]

Its REALLY dim, it looks brighter in the picture because I took it in the pitch black and the camera on my phone over exposed it.. With the lens I would put it around 1/2 mW... Its REALLY dim. The window is Flawlesss

Poor thing. :cryyy:

 

[AUTO XX]

Shall we have a moment of silence for another dead soldier?
Rest in peace valiant little 445.... :cryyy:

Got two more on the way though... It's all good. I am wondering if I should order a Flex instead of the BoostDrive I am currently using. Hmm

dude I deleted that message like 4 hrs before you posted that. By the way, you don't need to be a jerk. I dont know about other people but im pretty sure that is not a very well accepted attitude. Im not trying to start anything so ill just ignore it and pretend you didnt say that.

Seems to be the default attitude for Toaster I'm afraid. Whatever he says is correct. You'd better just get used to this until he goes and finds some other people to annoy.

He may want to use a Flexdrive instead of the MicroBoost for a 445nm, but he wouldn't understand which drivers I mean because he talks a different LPF language. Boostdrive? What the hell is that?

You shouldn't call people a troll because you don't agree. You guys don't know the difference between a troll and someone with a spine.

I am not always correct. That's why I ask questions. Ok?

But when people correct you, you tell them they are wrong. That's not having a spine, that's ignorant. In the end, no-one will help you. Do you not see this?
