   Gentlemen (IOW not you, Bill),   
      
   I've got a bunch of green laser diodes which are specified for 370mA   
   current draw. I've been using a straight 5 ohm WW resistor rated at   
   10W as a dummy load, but it's crude and inaccurate. Is there something   
   better I should be using? I've got some 2W blue ones to do later on as   
   well so something which could be adapted for those would be a plus.   
   Ideally something which mimics the knee you get as it starts to   
   conduct.   
      
   Cheers,
