Another vote for trying dc fix. In the meantime to get an idea of how diffuser film might look try Scotch tape with the matte finish (magic tape). I have not used dc fix yet but the scotch tape works pretty well. The scotch tape might reduce the output more though.
I’m gonna experiment with Scotch tonight. Only thing I have in stock that I need now until the DC-fix gets here lol.
Which dc fix did you buy and from who? I’m trying to get an idea of what I need, thanks
Thanks, I’m at work and I will do “the reading up on” when I’m off.
Bug Boaz for a sample-pack. :laughing:
Forgot the #s, but regular (1?) is a coarse pattern, good if you want to blur the hotspot a bit but not completely trash its throw. I use that on a 2×D Luxpro to kill off the evil pissy beam from the G3, yet still let it “reach” a bit.
The other one (4? 7? whatever) is a finer grain, really diffuse, which is what I use on my E03. That should be the one that it sounds like you’d want. Nice and diffuse, but still a bit brighter in the center and fading as you go off-axis.
But still investigate and play with aspherics and TIRs. You might then hit on the Perfect Beam™ even if only at random.
If you have some wax paper in the house, try that as well.
Just mist the glass and apply the wax paper, trim with razor blade.
If you take the lens out just lay it over the paper and trim, then apply mist etc.
Kills the throw, milks up the tint and it’s dirt cheap, what’s not to love? 
Later,

Yeah I just asked for samples in my order :-). This way I can choose which films I might want to use for my other lights depending on situation. Sorta like getting dressed for the day.
Hey cool I’ll try the wax paper too! Maybe poke a few holes. Hmmm maybe some shaded colors!
i replaced mine with TIR and im loving the smooth flood.
i used TIR 19mm diameter (same as convoy S2+ TIR) and sand the base about 4mm to match the reflector height.
the oring fit the TIR nicely then screw back without lens or you can fit in lense but need further sanding to match the height with lense.
Be careful not to supper tight screw bezel else u will damaged the AUX LED. just enought tight to water seal
TIR sand the bottom

5 minutes job
Martin reported a big loss in lumens, what do you feel now it has the S2 TIR? Thanks for pic/description!
Did you sand it at low rpm’s? I think sanding at higher speeds might melt the plastic somewhat.
i dont have lumens measurement but im very sure the loss is negligible to your eyes.
yeah i sand low speed.
im very happy with the smooth flood and its more pleasing for close up work.
Nice! gonna add “Sanding” to my ToDoList. Oh I got some Metal Polish and a Dremel too. I once polished the yellow out of an old car headlight assembly. Works quite well too.
I did it once. Cheap TIR from BG and Ali caused nearly 30% loss, while Carclo just 7%. Didn’t know This seller then.
I did it once too… 
I tried scotch tape and it smooth out the hot spot and spill area but still throwy compare to TIR.
Yajiamei optic is much better quality than convoy TIR . Clemence have proven with Armytek headlamps.
Likely this one will fit without any modification. The total height of reflector + lens is about the same as this TIR. Just be mindful im using SST20 LED
Hey thanks for the Ali TIR links. Unfortunately they sell in batch of 20 which is quite a lot. I only need at most maybe 5 lol.
