LPC-826 came in today

[weeba2kv]

From O-like ordered @ 22 - 8 2011 got it @ 7- 9 -2011
well i got no driver just a 0- 200 mA driver but I'll add some pic to keep you all a lilbit less bored :yh:

keep you updated

:thinking: what

this thread has no meaning.

Ok so i ordered a LPC-826 from olike
300-400mW brand new red laser diode/extracted from LPC-826 [OL-826] - $9.99 : Welcome to O-Like.com, Your source for laser products
and tomorrow i will pick it up from the post office and connect it to some old driver and post some pictures ok happy ?

yeah good boy !

 

[Fiddy]

why are you telling us?

 

[kiyoukan]

hes excited to have something other than 445nm
thats all i hear about.
Even if its short i like seeing the other colors too...
just dont ask me why i own 35+ 445nm lasers myself....

 

[Fiddy]

lol fair enough

 

[weeba2kv]

the diode and now time to connect it

So 1 lil question , can i run it on 600mA max ! or should i keep it @ 450 - 500 mA for a long lifetime ?

600 mW?

 

[weeba2kv]

I mean 600 mA sorry ( I need coffee )

 

[Fiddy]

im running mine at 550mA in a hotlight. how big is your heatsink?

 

[weeba2kv]

I am making a pic photo now @ 140 mA i can do it with this driver 190 max ( better driver will come soon )

 

[weeba2kv]

But @ 550mA that means it will last long or is 550 pushing it to the near maximum ?

 

[Fiddy]

heatsink?

 

[weeba2kv]

heatsink small and big

I'm not running the 826 with no heatsink lol i know that it will damage the diode

 

[weeba2kv]

Mine is running @ the diode 2,96 Volt 470mA and burns trough white paper focused
@ Fiddy Is that normal and are the numbers right ?
