I housed one of my Lanling modules today in an old WL laser case ;D ;D. I cranked up the onboard pot to max output , put a 5K ohm pot in series to give 0-200mW+ output and added TEC cooling to my homemade heatsink.
This module was laserchecked several times before the mod and was outputting a steady 197mW. Cranking up the pot on the driver board has made it noticeably brighter, so i can only guess the true output is way above 200mW. The diode is drawing 2.96v and holding at a steady 300ma of current. The underside of the heatsink is TEC cooled , however I doubt this is really necessary, as the heatsink is so big , it does not even get warm.
This is a beast, it does not just melt black tape, it punches straight through it and will cut a strip in less than 5 seconds, matches are instant. I dont know how long the diode will last at this power but the current drain is constant (tested over 1 hour constant on).
Great new toy ;D ;D
