Well good news, a new module along with an extra lense is headed my way all for just $28 usd.

Yea, I'm looking forward to her reply later today (when they go to work in China). Hopefully we can work something good out.

Never got the chance because Paul didn't know I was Canadian eh? 😂 I managed to get the lens pretty clean and focused pretty good so it's ok. Lily is also sending me another module half price and another lens. Love aptlightingworld. 👍🏼

PM sent 👍🏼

Yea when I popped the lens back in (200mw module, think it has glass lenses because the collimating lenses sold by the same seller on eBay are glass) it looked the same just with more splash so I think it is set right again just dirty (good way to clean it? Should I unscrew the lense, pop the...

Ok so I think I might just leave it and be satisfied. Now I'm having another problem. When I received the module, I could tell that something was dirty because the laser had a lot of splash, so after doing some research and testing I determined that all the dirt was on the collimating lens...

Yea that could have definitely been the problem. So... good news, I successfully shorted the switch that was built in to the driver, and I successfully installed the module with in the C6 host with good copper heatsinking. I turned it on a couple times to check it out and it is great, the beam...

Ok, 30 degrees counter clockwise, got it 👍🏼. My module arrived today but I had to leave the house before I got a chance to put it in the host. I must say so far I am completely satisfied with atplightingworld as a seller. They included a black heatsink worth around $12 CAD for free as a gift...

If it's set to 50% how far would you turn it if you didn't have an LPM, with good odds of not dying?

Extra rotation of the pot, sorry

Ok, the waiting is going to kill me but I think it'll be worth it. The heatsinks didn't have a tracking # so I have no clue where they are. And just to recap, extra 80 degrees ish right?

So tomorrow once I receive my module do you think it would be ok to adjust the pot (while the brass part of the module is heatsinked) even though I don't have the SMD heatsinks yet. Then just put it in the host and use it very little giving it ample time to cool down? Then once I get the...

Noted 👍🏼

Thanks GSS I definitely will.

Ohh, I have definitely seen one of those, I think I heard about them when I was building by brother's gaming PC. No I don't have one of those, although I probably should. Sadly Harbor Freight is not in Canada to my knowledge but I'm sure I could find alligator clips somewhere else. I just...

Even when I first got them the output transistor would be become too hot to touch on all the modules after just around 20 seconds of use. The transistors were in a way shielded though by the resistor(??? Big blue thing), so I could feel it getting warm from heat transferring. When I actually...

I'm sorry but I don't know what that is. I'm thinking I may have shorted my modlules as well, I also had a very DIY style setup which was probably not the best choice. Would a short cause the diode to die?

No I didn't, my heatsinks haven't arrived yet and I wasn't planning on using these modules in my host. I thought that stuff was only necessary for the atplightingworld module, guess my modules must have overheated. The output transistor doesn't even get warm anymore.

Yep, I just tested all four modules with a different battery that was reading 4.25V, still no dice. All still show 0.03A. It also wasn't completely simultaneous, but I'd say within 5 minutes of each other

Looks like luck just wasn't on my side, oh well.
