Ultrafire C2 Stainless Host ML501P73 637nm

That's great! I killed my first one.. (Of Course!) Hopefully will have another monday. I have a buck/boost 1600ma on order as well that should suit this fine...
 





Woah, just saw this too. I love how you always try to push your diodes, Fiddy. :beer:

How did you kill it?

Hehe yup :) you can imagine me looking at me didoes screaming C'MON MORE ENERGY!
 
Just saw this thread. Nice output.:beer:

So it dropped 50mW in 20 seconds. Not too bad for how hard you are driving it. Have you done a longer test yet? Also does it look redder than it did when it was giving 800mW?
 
This diode doesn't have any special requirements, right? It just takes a buck or linear driver and you don't have to isolate the diode? I've been getting confused with all the different reds lately.

:thanks:
 
yeah, its all ready a case isolated diode so any driver will work :D
 
Same pinout as a 445 with a neutral case. No isolation needed.

Linear and two Li-ions for sure one Li-Ion depending on the drivers dropout or a buck driver with a single Li-Ion.:beer:

I have 1050mA and 1400mA drivers with AMC7135's destined for these diodes. I'll decide on how much to give them when everyone else kills theirs (Fiddy = Diode Test Pilot).

I never get tired of saying this, but I'm driving back from Melbourne with a 488nm Argon on board :) I might put that in my signature for the next 2 hours lol.

Oh btw my daughter is driving back on her L plates and I'm being a responsible instructor on the iPad

OH Link to Pic's! http://laserpointerforums.com/f43/my-first-argon-laser-74188.html#post1071976
