New 9mm 445 diodes

[InfinitusEquitas]

It surely is not a regular basis. I would say 2.5W-2.9W can be expected out of any of them.

Hmm, but a fair number do hit 3W+?

 

[lazeristasUVISIR]

he's at about 3W right now and the diode is below ambient.

Do you know how low with temperature he goes?

Well it's cool to the touch, but I don't think we've actually measured the temperature. I'll ask him though.

Keep Dreaming.:bowdown::crackup:

Most do ~2.3W...

You will see a couple here and there at ~2.7W at higher currant.
But the most you will ever see at 1.8A is ~2.6W MAX. So far that is what iam seeing so that is what iam going to say until we see higher numbers.

THe one in my pictures doing 3.4W is the most efficient i seen so far at a few mW more then 2.9W at higher currant but not the MAX.

LOL.

Though i must say there is More 2.5W-2.6W diodes in these 9mm.

But remember we are talking 1.8A here.

This can all change if the currant becomes "SAFE" Higher.

Well, you and DTR pushed the current on a few of them I'm sure... any observations?

 

[DTR]

I personally feel pretty comfortable driving mine @ 2A but I am not willing to recommend it yet specially being the seller that is why I am sticking to 1.8A to be on the safe side. So if you are one that likes to push the envelope into new territories with us that is up to you.:beer:

Said it better then i would.:beer:

Though to add, i feel comfortable with mine at 2.1A.

 

[InfinitusEquitas]

Well that's something at least.

Can't believe how snobbish I'm being though. A year ago 2W was RARE, now they are practically commonplace.

You want to hear something funny though.

I found a A-130 collecting dust that feel behind a shelf. It was in an Anti static bag labeled A-130 so i know it was one for sure

I seriously started Cracking up..LOL:crackup:

I pressed it in a Module and tested it and the diode was doing 1.6W With a G lens at 1.7A

This was about 1 month ago. I was going to record it but never did.


We have come a long way with these blues thats for sure.

 

[InfinitusEquitas]

When I first joined, my intent was to buy a 1.5W laser. I wasn't even thinking about going for 2W... or now days maybe three watts soon

It is crazy. I love it My wallet not so much

My first blue was a 1.3W from survival and I was terrified of it. I just built a std H-140 recently at 1.6A and it is doing 2.15W and now I am wanting 3W.

 

[DKlaser]

Sorry to derail this line of discussion but I have another question. I got the lens holder from the guy that DTR reccomended. I have successfully removed the lens from its holder and all the glue on it. Now, I took the lens holder apart and at that point the lens should drop in and the then I will screw the retainer back in on top of it? Is there supposed to be some sort of spacer between the lens and the screw in ring?

 

[Blord]

You should put in like this ,

 

[DKlaser]

Hmmm. That pic is lacking some detail that would clear it up for part timers like myself. These are my first lens to assemble myself so I just want to make sure it's right.
