Can you use HLD830030N5T, 5,6mm TO18 30mW 830nm Laser diodes as replacement or is the wattage different?
Thank you for the Info that the 1.0 Laser works in the 2.0 Variant!

TLDR, no you need 200mw to replace it.

The wattage for a base station laser is 200mW 830nm. With a 30mW I would expect the laser to immediately burn out because of constant current output.
