here are the pics i also managed to reduce the width by another 1cm
just put them in projectorand now have yellow at last

you need to wash your hands!

nice work....

[toked]

hey i got my diodes but i think i got a defective one,the legsof one was all bent up and didn't work it was dim, the other lights up like a charm

[dave]

Thats no good. The problem here is we cant offer warranty on these diodes. We don't know how you are driving them for a start, and we don't know what anti-static precautions you took. What I do know is full anti-static measures were used at our end in China, so it's highly unlikely the diode was dead before it arrived..

So has anybody got some findings on these things?? what mw/ma output have you been seeing?

[cmendoza]

I've tried both of mine in a River Rock 2AAA (~150mA). Both barely light up. I wore an anti-static bracelet during mounting. Maybe I shorted them out somehow or do they need higher voltage than the usual SenKat diodes? Oh well.

I can't say what the output was, having no meter; but can tell you that one of mine went through quite a few 30- to 60-second burns at 400mA, with only an Aixis housing clamped in vise-grips for a heatsink. After cooling down I went to 500mA, and that lasted longer than I expected - not really very long, a few seconds. But that's why I got a spare

oh,MG, 400mA? nothing? 500mA, also ok?
Best regards!

[mliptack]

yes, but for very short periods. I too got some high mA readings, but the power curve starts to level off from what I see, and I just get excess heat.

No, 500mA was definitely not ok... at least with my very primitive setup.

It will be interesting when the more advanced folks like mliptack, with the ability to do power measurement, post the results of their testing and we see what the power curves really are.
