does this method work on the Green Lasers from Fry's Electronics? They're branded as "Alpec"

I'm not sure, I am assuming the diodes are the same but what about the circuitary, anyone else know?

I have one of those, I tried the mod by eye. I suspect however that mine was already past 5mW... but lacking a free green LED I can't be sure.

The only thing I see that looks different is that the IR filter in mine is in the outer focusing lens assembly which gets pried off the top, not affixed to the output end as seen here.

If I allready have a pointer that lays on 45mW. (I'm thinking about the 45mW one you can buy from Arnold) How high output can I get from it?

Re: How to Modify 5mw Leadlight Green Laser upto 4

I'm pretty sure that's the most you'll get out of it. Besides, a pointer doesn't have the heatsinking necessary to disburse much more heat.

Ok

Re: How to Modify 5mw Leadlight Green Laser upto 45mw+

This is my first post. I'm reading al lot at this forum.
But can somebody confirm me that this modification is also possible at the new models
with the indicator led?
And what are exactly the differences between the new and the old model? Only the feedback? With you can destroy
by cutting the wire?

thats a pretty sweet post. I wish my Leadlight still worked. Damn thing crapped out on me and I never even touch the innards. Last I spoke with arnold he did not have anymore lasers that were 45mw, unless he lied to me.

I just got mine and it is bright the beam is clearly visible
at night or in a mostly dark room.I just popped the switch cover off and the pot is visible in the hole with but I do not want to hurt it,what are the chances that I will make it worse or not improve it? I see what people see in lasers they are cool. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

5% chance to break yer laser doing only the pot MOD, 73% chance thats its already potted.. I tried to do pot mod on my newist laser only to find it was already potted.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Re: How to Modify 5mw Leadlight Green Laser upto 45mw+

- 0% chance with the pot mod if you turn without power on the leadlight because if you short the pot with the case the diode isn't reguled.
- I think that the leadlight is at 5mw for the class IIIa strict reglementation: I found this:
http://www.apinex.com/ret2/glp5an.html
for 10 or 20mw I think it's a pot mod only, and they sell it much !

Re: How to Modify 5mw Leadlight Green Laser upto 45mw+

I've never heard of a laser dying from the pot mod. Leaked, you should get some change at least with a pot mod. do you have instruments to confirm that there was absolutely no change? Where did you purchase as well?

 

[dyter]

Re: How to Modify 5mw Leadlight Green Laser upto 45mw+

chance but no change ...

 

[DaFiend]

Re: How to Modify 5mw Leadlight Green Laser upto 45mw+

you can do the pot mod without the pointer on, some people prefer to do it that so there is absolutely no chance of shorting the pot................

 

[Christoph]

Re: How to Modify 5mw Leadlight Green Laser upto 45mw+

What happens if you short the pot while tweeking?
