I have a diode capable of 1.5W and I would not like to push diode all the way to max... Would a single fully charged 18650 with the 1.25A driver give me a healthy 1100mw?
I guess I may have mis-interpreted what you explained on eBay listing. You said "should be" and not "MAX" I see my mistake, sorry. The moh-gasm 17mm driver is sold out:( so I will go with the "x-drive" option and do as "styropyro" shows in his YouTube how-to. Thank you for all of your support in...
I saw a video by pyrogadgets on YouTube about the heatsink build and he used the 5-Mode 1000mA 7135 Circuit Board for Cree and SSC Emitters - Free Shipping - DealExtreme I also read that it is 16.6mm wide enough to fit in driver pill I also noticed it is not specifically made for an LED it is...
Thanks. I guest I wasn't thinking I put about twice as much power to it as needed it takes about 4.6V max says DTR. I am planning on building the popular aurora flashlight kit and since the diode can output a max of 1.5W would a 1400mA LED driver from DX be suitable?(of course after replaced diode)
I also bought a 1.0-1.5W diode in module with leads soldered from DTR on eBay and I was testing it with 9V battery in heatsink and it worked fine for about 30 sec of run time then got dim and hot. I dis-connected the leads and retried after cooldown... Almost instantly hot. Killed diode? Thank...
