I have a weird request. This is not for Light show use. It is for a proof of concept design for a military application.
I need to know which diode, (power/wavelength) produces the MOST heat from a single diode under normal operating conditions. I understand that the diodes are all mounted in modules and mounts. And these are obviously PURPOSELY designed to dissipate heat produced. But a single diode, lets just say (theoretically) mounted in a relatively simplistic module that dissipates ZERO heat produced (I know- completely silly.) What diode would this be?? I am assuming one of these monstrous 445 diodes? 4-5 Watt range??
Diode must produce a lot of heat
Diode must be driven under normal current
NDB7875 seems like a pretty safe choice. Any other diodes out now that I may be unaware of??
Thank You.
