Hey Andy,

You really do go above and beyond the call of duty here, mate! That guide for harvesting the diode is fantastic. Thanks for posting it and for your many other contributions to the DIY spirit of this place!

Cheers, CC

Whatever... : I use both and it takes a manly laser to light the white tipped paper matches. But the whole point of that picture was to point out the power of the open can.

ok got the diode running at 338mw with a tec.

So now that you are running it with a TEC, what do you think of it using a TEC? You seemed to be a bit anti TEC, so I am curious if you notice anything different. For me the greatest advantage is the output stays stable.

i think im running somewhere in the region og 550-600ma

treat em mean keep em keen!
