Running the XJ-A140 With Missing Diodes

[laserdj]

Why don't we try to replace the whole array with one or more beefy blue leds?

This has been my curiosity in all of this...

[flecom]

well how many LD strings were there? 3 or 4 right? could we put some giant LED's that might emulate a string?

There are plenty of leds that can deal with this current, but they usually run at a lower voltage (array runs at 32V)

I've also wondered about just throwing a few blue LED"s in place of the diodes. If you used a few blue LED's and made an array of then, you could probably get close to the operating voltage.

thats why im considering these

or this one

though im also thinking of running mine with 3 lasers as well,but only if all the LED systems fail to produce an acceptable image.

this one also looks interesting ......http://cgi.ebay.com/BANNER-LEDIA80X8...item27b5913fbb

Why not use a 445nm LED?

oh cool,i hadn't ran by those before,,thanks for posting..that went into my favorites. this ones only 180-450lm....seen any that were brights like 1000-2000 lumens?

i was also thinking of using different filters,tints and coatings at different intensities on those real bright white ones that run at 20-50 watts.to get as close to 445-450 nanometers as possible...most of the blue leds i have ran across just aren't that bright. that one flecom posted the link to is the brightest ive seen so far.

Many options here http://www.satisled.com/Wholesale-20w300w-led_c22

This one http://www.satisled.com/200w-high-po...oice_p164.html even runs on the array voltage!
