Thank you for visiting my YouTube channel. I wish you and your family good health and happiness. Hopefully, through this clip you will create a great diffuse for your flashlight.
Great idea! Will have to find a plastic light bulb at Home Depot.:)
Thank you my friend. You are welcome
I’ve been doing this for awhile works perfect on a convoy c8
Problem with this is you then just end up with a DC powered light bulb . which is OK but like any light bulb you then need a shade or you'll suffer from nasty glare . I have and use diffusers like this but I also use either one of thgose cheap plastic shades off of a chepo lantern or ones off of those octopus/ multiple gooseneck lights .
the reason I'm so into flat diffuser film is it throws a 160 degree to 180 degree beam angle and as a flashlight you can get behind the glare . IMO the light has be out of your line of sight or in my case it just bugs the hell out of me . ..As far as workable diffusers like this . The best ones IMHO are tube versions that also allow light out the end as well . I have a foot long ? tube on a BLF Q8 that is so good you can look right at it on turbo .(4000lumens) with a normal diffuser about 200 lumens makes me cranky .
I just found something good.
I weight train a few times a week and use
Oly Grip Weightlifting Thumb Hook Grip Cotton Tear Stretch Tape for my arthritic wrist and for support.
This tape is white and the adhesive is non-aggressive and the tape is stretchy.
It works well for diffuser on ff EO7,all my lights with 2” dia lens and smaller.
I always have a roll with me the tape has many uses and minimizes the hassle of carrying a big diffuser.
what a simple but great idea thank you my friend 10/10 merry xmas just found one and put some tape on my mini Astrolux works great
Dang Boaz, that’s quite the collection of DIY diffusers! I bought a silicone diffuser for my Sunwayman D40A way back when, but it left a weird greenish artifact on the ceiling. So when one of my house LED light bulbs went bad, I removed the diffuser like the OP did and put it over the silicone diffuser. It now has a great room filling beam. This is the flashlight that I turn on when I go into my workroom without turning on the lights, like to grab a beer!
