If you already have your diode and AixiZ module, all you need with the 'Hot' option, is a 1.5mm Allen wrench for the set screw, and a battery. (CR123, or RCR123 rechargeable)
Of course you will have to understand how to solder to your diode pins. I like to use small lead wires on the pins, and then connect the diode leads, to the driver leads. But you can also just solder the driver leads directly to the pins.
The main thing, is to know for sure exactly what diode you have. If it is a Sony 1239JL-54 (Senkat) diode, then it will be about 200mW's if you have the current at 300mA's. (AixiZ acrylic) But it will last longer at a little conservative setting of say 270mA's...
At that current, you would still get well over 200mW's if you wanted to use my

The lens mod is fit for an AixiZ module, and comes ready to thread right in...
It is not an inexpensive lens assembly, but it will last a lifetime if not abused.
Send me a private message about exactly what diode you have. And I can give you recommendations on what current to have the 'Hot' option set to...
