Whats yours?
Name a STUPID thing youve done in the past thats made u think "why the HELL did i just do that?"
* getting married excluded
Mine is..
Ive just put a 12x 405nm diode in a odicforce host, set the driver with the dummy load so the diode outputs around 550mW...inserted the batteries and switched on.
On it came and i thought "that looks dim" so i pointed it at the palm of my hand, and a little puff of smoke came from my skin...i ended up nearly cauterizing an artery! its running at 550mW .
I forgot that 405nm doesnt appear as bright as 445nm! the only dim thing in the equation was ME!.
So, what have YOU done?
Shoot.
