    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    hello, could you please tell us more about diode intensity ? and the temperature of the diodes ?
    In other words...is it safe without tec ?

    (and we don't say "c'est très magnifique", we just say "c'est magnifique" or "c'est très beau" )

    we're driving the diodes conservatively at about 1.25A each. the mounts get warm, but not hot. it will be run in a beam table with a light duty cycle and with forced air cooling. no tec needed. i'm sure we'd be fine running the diodes much hotter, but better safe than sorry.

    Pardon/I'm sorry.

    I'm sure the late Miss Miskovitch, my French instructor, some twenty years ago, would have corrected me. If she had spent more then one week a year in Paris a year.

    The intensity of this particular rig , if the beam were to hit a wall, would probably start a massive fire that would burn the entire house down .. :/
