For those of you looking for a cheap host for a green module that is readily obtainable, I wanted to show you my Home Depot Husky (2pack for $6). It is the same host that Whatsupadrian was selling, and BobBoyce showed his copper heat sink mod on. I used the Husky host because I destroyed the pen host during the extrication process.
My friend JohnLawson convinced me to order a few of the DX 5mw pointers and crank up the pots on them. So far I have had decent luck, and all are as bright as my Ledshoppe 50mw's. However, I haven't metered them so I don't know the actual outputs.
I had a couple of leftover aixiz modules laying around, so I cut the backside off of one to use as a cover for the 532nm module's lens. This allows for the use of a dust cap, and I think it looks cleaner too.
I have a lathe, so I made my own heat sink. Being the module is the same size as an aixiz module, I imagine BobBoyce's method would work as well.
The only additional items needed were a cr2 battery and a piece of 5/8" hose to use as a sleeve for the battery.
Here are some pics from my cellphone...
I apologize if this has been posted before...I didn't use the search button:na:
