Red PHR-803T Sleds

[randomlugia]

I've heard that the PHR-803T sled has three different diodes: Bluray, red, and IR. How powerful exactly is the red diode? I'm getting a bluray diode, so I figured I'd buy the whole sled and use the red and violet. ;D

The PHR-803T sled only has two diodes. One is the 405nm diode. The other is a combination of red and IR. I don't think that the red is very powerful. No one uses it.

Some people say they can power it up to 100mA, but to be honest it isn't really worth it. It won't burn anything and for the money you put into building it could buy a bunch more laser pointers of the same power.

I tried two of these red diodes, the fist one died after a few minutes at 50ma, and the other one died after ~6 hours at 42mA. I used them in the sure modules and didn't get warm.

whats the pin layout for the 4 pin diodes in these?

One died after reaching 49mA and it did 14mW. Another one is table at 51mA putting out 12mW. I guess these are weak enough that they actually need optical regulation instead of a constant current.

You could increase the current until it outputs 10-12mW and set a constant current source to that current. (LPM required)

i have many if someone wants to pay shipping they can have them for free

EDIT the I/R/red diodes 4 pin that is ;D

Well, that sounds pretty pointless. I thought it would be 16x strength or so,ething like that. Thanks anyway!
