I disassembled a PEQ Red Laser / Cree white Led combo made by G&P.
It runs on 3 AA batteries. It has four modes: off, laser-only, laser & led, led-only.
The laser is powered by 4.5 volts in laser-only mode.
The led is powered by 3 volts in led-only mode.
Both the laser and led receive 3 volts in the laser&led mode.
Here's the Cree led head: diameter = .670", cylinder height = .400".
My objective is to convert both the led and laser to IR.
Is there such a thing as an IR drop-in led module of this dimension? If so, supplier?
If not, how difficult is it to convert this white led module to IR? I'd need tips and link to seller of the IR led piece.
Here's the red laser:
The IR conversion piece must fit inside the black housing parts, so dimensional constraints are fixed.
The rear piece is just a brass cylinder / carrier thing.
The red laser has a pot - cool!
Collimator pic below.
The OD of the collimator nose is .335".
The OD of the laser module threads is .405".
This is only the 2nd laser I've disassembled.
Is this type of module common, where the board is a tiny bit forming the base of the module?
Does anyone know of a potential vendor for a replacement module that's IR (850ish, 1 to 2mw)?
Or, is it most likely that I'll have to try to disassemble the module and replace Red guts with IR guts?
I'm open to any and all suggestions. I'm pretty nooby, so I'll need basics.
THANKS!
