Red diode help!

[Scorpius1394]

Hey everyone, I'm new here and wanted to know if anyone knows  what kind of diode this is  :-? ( maybe its a long open can not sure though. maybe somebody with more knowledge on this topic could help)

aixiz (dot) com/shop/product_info (dot) php?cPath=1_26&products_id=52     (wont let me post links yet :'()

and yes, I do know this was really overpriced   ! I bought this before I knew much about lasers or found LPF.

and if anyone knows what would be the best current to set the driver at for this is (like 420ma-450ma possibly) I am using Dark_Horse's full body heatsink.

thanks in advance ;D.

ouch! i believe this is the sony 16x diode, you can get it at stonetek.org/shop for $20,

you'd run this diode at 250mA

btw, LOC diodes don't have that silver color "can" on the diode like the one in the picture.


btw, if your in the USA, drew should have some sleds in on wed. if i remember what he told me correctly,
you can have him harvest an LPC-815 diode and put it in an aixiz module for you for like $18.50
LPC-815 diode are LOC diodes that we run at 420mA

Thanks Mohrenberg, that's pretty upsetting I might as well put it in a maglite now.
I ordered the LPC-815 in an aixiz module from HighTechDealz. I'll use that in the Dorcy Jr. build although I'm waiting for the flexdrive.
once again thanks for the help
