I was just going to limit the current with a resistor in series with the LD, Ken. Then, parallel the 47uf cap. I did not do this the first time, not even the cap when the LD blew.Kenom said:Your looking at the sweet spot about 200-250ma. At that output your going to be gettting a burner and not throwing yoru diode down the tubes. As far as how much the circuit inside the dorcy is concerned your looking at 350-400ma so it's defenitly needing regulation above and beyond what's normally inside the dorcy. I'm contemplating taking the existing driver out and putting in the driver here
