    Not a clue, I haven't bothered to measure the current. Just set the output to around 250mW and let it run. Looking at drlava's graph, probably somewhere around 430mA or so.

    I put one of these open can diodes in a hand held pointer and set the current to max, it was doing about 120mW, so I changed the batteries (3 tripple A) and it was doing about 306mW! It's been working fine, though the batteries are wearing down quickly, it is currently doing about 210mW, gonna be time for some fresh batteries before FLEM
