What duty cycle will be safe for my upcomming build?

[sjesper]

Hello.

I have ordered the followering things for a build:
- Mohgasm C6 host.
- Mohgasm C6 heat sink.
- Mohgasm 478 mA driver.
- LPC-826 Diode.
- Dealextreme Module with lens and spring.
- Copper module.

How long duty cycle should i expect for this build?

I have a build similar to this and I can use it for 5 minutes before it gets too hot.

Rule of the thumb is to turn off the laser when it feels hot to the touch.

Thanks for the help to both of you. 5 minutes sounds great (probably only gonna run it for 1-2 minute or so)
