Pretty new guy here. I'm attempting my first build quite soon, so needless to say, I'm not terribly familiar with everything yet.
That being said, I ordered a 9mm 445 from DTR's shop, in module, with 2.2amp driver (Is that cheating? That's cheating, isn't it? )
I was curious to see the raw output of the diode before I attempted putting it in a host, so I removed the lens, and ran the driver with one freshly charged rcr123a (it's going to be using 2 in host). I noticed this diode seems to have some pretty noticeable artifacts in it, and I was wondering if this was normal?
I know once it's ran through a lens, I'll never notice that. However, I couldn't help but be curious as to what is average for these diodes? Is this something that is expected? Perhaps a result of using only one battery that makes it more noticeable? What do you think?
