Well ive had over a hundred 105 units pass my hands and have potmodded and tested all- most reached 20mw and a scarce few hit 50mw+ - There was one unit that hit 73mw with potmod only and became more efficient as it got warmer!.....You know i had to keep this rare unit for myself. I kept it for several months with potmod only and a couple weeks ago i got curious and decided to do the resistor swap, put it like this...it was a disaster-the brass module was so tight i dont know how it ever got in there- no other unit i dismantled was ever this snug-soooooooo i broke the diode legs off at midpoint while getting the module out.........now i felt like going nuts. I looked at the back of the diode and it was completelly white plus there was thermal paste everywhere in/on the brass housing, the diode had really thick legs and a wierd cross like design on the back along with a couple other odd markings on the brass body that ive never seen on another leadlight. Well i put the broken laser up being scared to make it worse untill tonight with coronas advise-thanks dude- and some patience I got the unit working fine again and even did the resistor mod..... I did the resistor swap and got it all put back together after 2 hours of nail bitting and fixing a couple problems with the driver not being centered but all in all it went smoothly and for some reason the current would not go over 430ma but thats probablly a good thing.anyway I tested it on my LED DMM which ive set with over 100 laser pointers and find very accurate and this beast peaks at 450 and settles at 430 after a few seconds meaning its around 150mw stable. I did not believe it at first but I have owned a wickedlaser mx which was 90mw and this leadlight puts it to shame- I pointed it at a freckle on my arm and it felt like a cigarette being put out on my arm instantlly- my wicked mx i could feel a slight burn after 5 seconds- this thing smolters electrical tape instantly- I cant believe a leadlight is capable of this much output. I will have to follow a strict duty cycle so i dont burn up this badboy. All these readings and tests where done with a half used set of aaa's. I think this was produced as a high output unit and somehow got mixed up in an order of 105 units. This unit is crazy powerful.Brightest pointer ive ever seen and its a leadlight....I will post picks when i get a chance.
