I bought one of the eBay 5mW greenies just to play with and have observed a behavior that I wonder about.
First off I havent ruled out batteries yet so that is a possibility.
When you press the button it comes on amazingly bright and is ever so slightly visible in a well lit room but then almost immediately it seems to throttle and die down to a much less intense brightness. All I had was a box of Ikea batteries so thats all I am using but even with brand new ones it seems to do it.
I will say however that when I swap the back ends of this pointer with one that a friend got at a local frys (with energizer lithiums in it) his does not do this and mine still seems to throttle
Is there a way to fix this or can anyone tell me why it does it?
