Id have to dig the book out, too late, too lazy at the moment. But I dont think power consuption in diodes follows ohms law, the voltage potential drop is due to overcoming the built-in "no mans land" (forget the technical term) caused by the p-n junction, though perhaps the hot electons interacting with the semiconductor lattice has an ohmic equivalent effect, so I just don't know, and I don't specifically know if we covered that in class, though that was one of two courses I really struggled with in grad school, so I may just be blocking it out. But I do agree, nothing beats real world testing.
