Hey All,
So As i Normal do, always looking for New stuff to find. This is Part of the fun i have in this Hobby.
Anyway, I talked with a supplier that mentioned they have a small sample amount of some New Red diodes in 3.8mm size. The first thing that came to my mind was these got to be the Smoc Dual WL diodes that we find in the more Expensive BDR-205/203 12x/8x burner's. However the supplier had no info on them yet SO it was just my best guess since it was the same package. They also mentioned that they are BRAND NEW not sled pulls.
I got even more excited.
So I picked up 5 out of the samples they had as they where Kinda of Expensive for Reds but conceder it sample it was a fair price. ~30$ each.
Well I got them in last night and started doing some simple testing.
First thing i wanted to see is if it was the Dual Wavelength Smoc's that we know of already. Come to find out they weren't.
Then only thing i could think of is these are New Diodes and when they said New diodes to me i misunderstood them and thought they just meant New as in not sled pulls. Well its both. They are Not sled pulls and have no solder mask on the pins and they are New Diode on the Market Possible. As far as i know i dont know of any other Red that can do what your about to see bellow.:eg:
Here are Some Picutres.....
Pictures:
LPM Video:
Driver was set to 760mA
Lens is a Jayrob 650-G-1 lens
LPM Test:
So Far i tested these to ~800mA.:eg: and they still dont dim out and power still increases.:wave: It seems like the increasing in power is slowing down so i kicked it back down a little to put it in a handheld really quick.
Iam send 2 diodes over to rhd to play with and see what he thinks.
Ill end up testing the other 2 of mine as well to see where these LED.
Thats what i got so far. These Look Promising.
If theses turn out to be good. I can get them in a Price Range as what you guys get LPC-826's for.:beer:
Red's are still my favorite.
:thanks: For Looking.!!!

but i guess we will never see a red without them.
