high-voltage, current-limiting diodes?

high-voltage, current-limiting diodes?

(OP)
Every CLD I come across tends to be capable of very low voltage at best.  Anyone know of a manufacturer of high power CLDs?  (in the neighborhood of 100v for a 300ma CLD)

RE: high-voltage, current-limiting diodes?

That would be a mighty big diode, as it would be dissipating at least 30 Watts.

I don't think there is much of a market for such, and so I don't think anyone has made any.

RE: high-voltage, current-limiting diodes?

You could build an equivalent circuit from discretes.

Thanks electricuwe, for the link.  

It's clear now from the schematic that a CLD neither looks like nor behaves like a diode.
