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 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 nice I saw the Ali link for TIR but they sell batches of 20 only. I just need 5 at the most lol.
Wait… I just had an idea. How about very light hand sanding on a spare lens! That should give a diffused look which is what I want.
If you're not wanting to kill too much throw I have a lighter frosted film that was listed as #2C. I may change the number to #3 since I no longer carry the really heavy/thick material that I was calling #3 . Either way the #2,2B,2C and #7 are some of the nicer frosted diffuser films I carry . I don't think I sent lightbringer any of the #2C but it's great stuff .Instead of throwing out so many samples with orders I am going to make up 2 or 3 assorted packs for people who want to try a little bit of everything .
I just got my DC-fix and what a great pkg!. Thanks Boaz for all the free samples! I need to buy more flashlights now . I did a quick test holding some in front of the HL01 and now I have the spill I need. Gonna mount film this weekend and post some shots up.
Just installed #1 and I luv the spill now. Quite diffused and warmish. It's an SST20 4000K so with the film, I lose quite a bit of lumens. It's ok though as I just using it for indoor use. Like close up stuff and beyond to 20'.
Plus if you trace using a 18650 battery on the film, then by trimming around 1mm off it’ll fit just nice on the lens.
