new s06j build peaks very high

hello everyone today i managed to rebuild my old 405nm bdr209 laser with an s06j diode.the build is very budget and not so awesome made like most people on the forum do.



the diode pressed



used some heatshrink



put the housing inside the heatsink



and assembled them all to the old host




everything worked great :drool: but i got scared alot after masuring the power of it in the lpm,the driver was set at 470ma for the old bdr209 diode and was outputing 780mw.i reset the driver to 440ma for the s06j diode and used exactly the same G2 lens i had.


wtf? 795mw out of a s06j diode at 440ma?:thinking: quickly i turned it off,i was sure that the pontetiometer moved and i was afraid that will damage the diode,i messured the current that the diode was getting and its definetly 440ma so what you guys think?i definetly dont want to kill the diode but it peaks very high althought its on the safe zone of the current....should i lower a bit the driver to around 400-420ma?

edit:also to mention that the output mesurment was in room temperature around 29c(summer)
