Don't know; I haven't tried it. I like my Leadlight and I don't want to bust it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Is there a screw under the button of this that i can screw clockwise that will make it brighter? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

The new Leadlights doesnt show the screw under the button... the black plastic is covering it... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
So you would have to quit the front cap to achieve it.

I can't wait to get a green laser pointer... i feel good now that i know that there's a screw on the new leadlight model you just have to find a way to get to it. I live in Corvallis, Oregon and in Oregon it's pretty moist (around 70-90% humidity on average) and with good moisture i shouldent have a problem seeing the beam at night. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Am i able to get the new leadlight to be about 2 times brighter when I turn the

Depends on the individual laser. Another user here found that he wasn't able to push his laser much farther than the specified rating. Others have. Unfortunately when you buy a laser that's spec'd at 5mw, there's no guarantee that it can be pushed farther than that, either a new one or an older model. That's just the luck of the draw.

So your trying to say that mabye , for an example, you have a GLP and your friend has a GLP and there both exactly the same but your GLP might be a little brighter than your friends?

Almost. I'm saying that if you have two unmodified 5mw lasers that are sold as true 5mw, they'll probably both produce 5mw, but one might not be as push-able beyond that point as the other one.
That's the way it is in life also. If two people buy the exact same car at the same time from the same dealer with the same specs, they will probably have different experiences somewhere down the road.

Whether they're annoyed or not will be completely within your control...

PhotoWrangler what do you rate a regular red laser poiner and a regular green laser pointer from 1-1000?

They each have their purpose. For ordinary jobs like laser levels, spotting, etc, a red laser is fine and the fact that they're so inexpensive is a definite plus. I wouldn't feel bad about accidentally destroying a red laser by dropping it into a puddle of water, off of a ladder, or by some other type of accident, so they definitely have their place.
Green lasers are more useful for sheer (apparent) brightness, of course, but I would never use a greenie for ordinary day to day tasks like the above because it's so expensive.
So it's hard for me to give a rating of one over the other, I guess. Since I use red and infrared lasers for various things and find them quite useful, I would be hard pressed to say that one is better than the other. They're just different and have different applications.
