Zombie 803T diode

[rog8811]

does your LM317 perhaps say "SG" on it?

I will have a look this evening

My 405's (6x) don't appear to have anything wierd in the output other than a somewhat eliptical spot.  This is at both 130 mA and 190 mA.

As for CC drivers, I'm using my junkbox LDO CV drivers with a series pot.  Works for me  ;D

I've noticed a very slight artifact with my 6x. Its only on certain surfaces, mainly wood. And like I said its veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrry slight. Really not even noticeable unless you're really staring

If you're using a CV driver, then of course the current would creep up. But so should it with any other diode that heats up and is powered by CV...


But with an expensive diode, like the 6x, i think you would be better off with a cc driver...

What do the artifacts look like?


All i noticed is a very flat beam with the Blu Rays.. But they do have a strange patterns.

The 6x isn't as flat as the PHR. The artifact is like the very outside edge of the die itself but its basically invisible.
