CNI-MBL50

Ok so i decided to make something out of it, or if i fail i might at least learn something on the way.
Im curious if i can tweak the power or something? On the housing it says <500 mW 473nm class 3b, however i don't think its near 500 mW of blue.
This one has been inside an RGB projector at a nightclub and i have no idea of how long it has been running..

There are 3 trimpots that i could need help to ID and i could also use some guidance or assistance to tweak it to more power if possible

Here are some pics of the board and i added some beamshots as well

This saturday night is dedicated to nerding

My 2 cents....don't touch anything ! it's working very well, it's a beautifull piece, use it like that !

hmm maybe i should just leave it... but i would still like to know about them pots

Easy, you have just to search on the forum !

I found this, http://www.photonlexicon.com/forums/...light=CNI+trim

Looks just like mine except that it has an extra trim. Any chance i can make it analog by adding a similar pot to the VR3?

The labels are all the same - thats a 50mW & working fine by the looks of the pic.

Thanx any chance to make it analog by adding that missing trimpot? It seems like thats the only part missing from that analog in the other thread.

I would not mess with it, the pots are probably going to be for the diode current, diode TEC and crystal TEC, but the adjustments are very tricky, especially the temps
