I  have a FP peq15 and a somogear peq15 for a 22 trainer setup.  Compared to the real deal the ir laser on the somogear is way too bright. Even on low power under nods it causes a weird "ghosting" effect.  I'm worried it's going to damage my tubes.  Does anyone know of an easy way to get the laser even lower?  Like a pattern generator but it blocks out some the light?

No idea on that, but if I pull the stops out my sg it laser is bright enough my tubes darken.

does the stop itself lower the laser power?

That’s normally called a diffuser but idk if they’re offered for that brand.

@ngc1300 no, pulling the stop gets it to more power.

Look for guys 3d printing different diffuser caps. I got one for a different laser that worked nicely, don’t think that brand makes them for a peq style though. For the laser it’s more of a pinhole cover. Theoretically simple to diy, but probably tricky to get just right.

I feel your pain though, some of the Chinese stuff has way too much power in the laser with no way to dial it down (for my needs)

I have the Somo NGAL - I just bought the real filter for the IR LASER side.

Supposedly milk jug plastic makes a good diffuser.  Use the provided diffuser style cover, which is just solid plastic,  drill it out and glue a cut out milk jug over the hole.  Obviously the translucent milk jug, not the opaque white plastic.

I think Villain Weapons Systems has new diffusers out for the SG PEQ-15.
