Here's my dilemna - I have a dual-diode driver board with 7VAC input and outputs for (2) 80Mw red diodes (it's in a Shinp DL22 laser display) and I also have (2) 803's in modules with custom heatsinks/mounts all ready to go - but I need to confirm the output current and voltage and I have no test load. Is there an easy way around this - I have read that an LED can be used (and I have several of those that will take 200Mv) but I need confirmation. I would love to just measure the current load before the driver but can't in this situation because it's an AC input so I don't believe I can test it as you would in line with the positive input in a DC situation...Aaaargh - I SO wish I'd have paid more attention to electrical theory back in college! Any suggestions or ideas before I get impatient or stupid and end up blowing one or all of my diodes? Thanks!
