Woah! Are Long open cans supposed to do this!!!
I had the laser set to lase at 270mW's and it ran at that for a while, then the power has stepped up to 345mW <-NOT a typo!
The driver's pot position wouldn'tve moved as it is encased in sillicone and the battery isn't new. I asked Ken and he said it's the diode settling in. But I've never heard of a laser doing this passive cooled. It also has been on for 4 mins nonstop so it's a stable power.
Pics of meter and videos of burning soon.
