WL Elite E3 200mW 532nm

[Fiddy]

G'day,

I bought a WL E3 off Kenom a while ago for $40 with a dead diode and suspected dead driver aswell, i pulled the module out and tested the diode, it was dead alright, i looked at the driver and the inductor had fallen off the board and was hanging on my one of its leads.

I soldered the tiny wire of the inductor back on and amazingly it registered numbers on the test load, BAZINGA.

Anyway, i decided to put a 532nm module inside, so i bought one from laserlands on eBay for $70AUD.

I got the module last week and put it on the LPM, it came up over 190mW which is very good, its inside 5% of 200mW so i am happy.
(I hate holding the button down and aiming at the LPM)

I borrowed the switch button off a old pen build and glued a few pieces of cable ties under neath to get the necessary height to clear the wall thickness of the host.

Here's the finished look:

Great build ! What was the shipping time of
The module to your place ?

 

[Fiddy]

It was quicker than average. i can't remember which day it was but it was last week some time and i ordered it on the 11th of August. Also bought a 3W 808 diode

Ok thanks man ! And 3W 808 ? Wow hh ... You will build a handled IR ? Or a labby one ?

This is awesome! Great job!

What's the beam specs?

Finally a WL that's on spec. :crackup:

Great job man!

Cheers! :beer:

Nice built. I like this host A LOT.

This doesn´t have an IR filter right? Heard that these modules have a >30% leak. Can you confirm that?

Yeah gunna build a nice big IR handheld

not sure, havent looked at that yet, i will say they are good cause the beam is very thin.

Oh i didnt test that, i do have some IR filters, i shall test that soon!
