Hey, Fullyloaded!

We’re finding that with A LOT of diodes, the power supply isn’t something to really “push”.  If I were you, I’d get one of the ones I use from AiXiZ, which are the TN-100-3.3’s.  They have 20 amps, and you need to turn the voltage adjustment knob fully clockwise.  Your diodes can handle between 3-5 volts, and maxing the power supply with 110 diodes would probably put it right at about 4 volts.  When you have about 300, it’s somewhere around 3.8.  400 is about 3.6 or 3.7.

No, it’s not “cheap” -I guess it’d be $50 or so (and you have to call them directly and ask for it -you can throw my name around and see if you can get a better price), but the damn things are awesome.  Really good success rate, and they have a ton of overhead.

I don’t want any electrical experts to chime in here, because I promise we know what we are talking about from experience.  See… what we are finding is that when you have a large amount of diodes, it’s no longer really a simply mathematical equation with the amps.  The power supply has to have a certain amout of “headroom” on it, or it’s going to eventually underperform.  A lot of diodes, we are finding, require a lot of headroom for best performance!

So, with something with 20amps, you’ll not only be ensured to have a device that will run 110 lasers, you’ll have something that you can upgrade up to 400 and still not have a problem.

Now, there are cheaper ones you could use and find, but if you can at all afford the TN-100-3.3, then get it!
