Hey people, making a rayfoss greenie. I want to put a 130-150mW module in it, but I don't think the standard driver will allow it to reach burning temp, will it? I'm still very new to this, but I'm assuming over 100mW a different drive would be better or essential? Am I right?

Thanks

Tom

If it's a greenie then it should come with its own driver.

If its rated and tested for ~130mW's it will put out ~130mW's :p Just make sure you heatsink the module and use an appropriate duty cycle
