Yes I agree, there 30 USD shipped, pre-set to your current and you can change the current anytime you want (test load required)!

Your diode is dead.CURTiS117 said:Spyderz20x6, ive bought the resistors from the link u gave me and i tried putting 2 of them in parallel and hooked it up to my mini dorcy and then my laser diode and there was a tiny red light . and then i tried using only one resistor(thinking it was resisting too much) and still the same thing happened. so now what i think my problem is, is that i have the wrong kind of diode. i got mine out of an old computer i had in my basement and yes it was a DVD BURNER cuz it sed REWRITABLE on it. im sure u have heard of the stonetek electronics website, will the Sony 16x dvd burner diode that they have on their website work? ya im sry im having all these problems and stuff. i have only basic experience with electronics. please reply!
Parallel LOWERS the resistance.CURTiS117 said:ok i will buy that ,diode maybe 2 idk. but do i put 2 resistors in parallel? or just use 1?
Measure it with a DMM.CURTiS117 said:ok. i understand. but the resistors i bought said they were 2.2 ohm. are they really 5 ohm?
You would put it on the "Ohm" setting.CURTiS117 said:ok. i have a DMM. wut setting would i put it on? sorry, but wut does put 2 of them in series mean?
The stonetek diode will last a long time with only one 5ohm resistor. It ends up being around 200mA which is what I stated earlier.charlie bruce said:At this point, I would recommend that you invest in a driver or 2, and [highlight]get a Stonetek or LPC diode [/highlight]- Jake is doing a mini-buy for them, or if you would like a violet one instead, I have several of the PHR-803T diodes in stock. I doubt that by continuing to do the same thing again and again you will do anything more than waste more diodes.
Look in the B/S/T section and you may well just snap up a good deal!
