    Default Dual Diode connection--dbl chk my work?

    Hi all,
    I was wondering if someone could check and make sure this is indeed correct before I start hooking things up. This is not intended to be installed in a projector, but only for my own curiosity with the output from my FB3. I fabricated a dual diode host setup for each wavelength and wish to give it a workout. Any suggestions or commits are of course welcome
    Thanks

    Seems ok, but make sure that you keep the reds insulated from the projector chassis as they are case connected so a short will apply unregulated current to the diodes.

    I'm not sure about using only 1 ohm balance resistors, maybe better to use more supply voltage and go with 4 ohms. DrLava will be the best authority on this though.

    Thanks Doc, the fixture I'm using has nylon inserts at the corners so it is isolated from any conductive surface. I wasn't sure about the resistor's for the PHR's, I used the same formula that the red's used. It may not be correct, hopefully someone else will look and give their insight to what should be used.
