The Rayovac beast uses a lens like this. It uses an mkr or another 4 die led but the beam is flawless
I cut one of the MT lenses down and installed it into an S2 XML HI with a smooth reflector… the beam is perfect. I think it may have a little more diffusion since the lens is closer to the source, but still much more like a perfect beam pattern from a smooth reflector. There is still a gain in throw vs the stock lens and a big beam improvement.
I have an order arriving in a few days pre-cut to the S2 dimension (1.5mm x 20.4mm).
I also ordered a few for the C8 just to see what it will do. I still think the C8 size will be too expensive, but I want to try it anyway… I have a C8 that could use some help.
These will not be available as a separate item on my website, so, if you’re interested in buying some of either the Solarforce P60 size or the S2/S2+ size, please PM me (ConUS only). I will have the piece cost later tonight.
I will make these available for individual purchase for about a week,
Conus only?!
correction: anywhere I can mail a first class envelope with up to 3 stamps.
The rule is ‘if it’s anything other than documents, a customs declaration is required’
A few of these lenses in an envelope should mail okay as a document
Pricing for the MT lens is as follows:
20.4mm (S2/S2+) $3.00
29.45mm + o-ring (Solarforce P60 only) $4.50
Per order add: $1 for US or $2 for international
Limit 5 lenses so the lenses will mail in a First Class envelope
PM me for payment instructions.
Finally had some time to test this lens, I used a Eagle Eye A6 with : Nichia 219C D320 5000K, BLF A6 driver, SMO convoy reflector.
Standard EE A6 lens
MT lens
I really like this lens, it makes the beam softer in a subtle way, I find it much more pleasing to look at.
Thank you for making this available.
If you’ve received the Micro-Textured lens and have tried it, please post any comments you have about it.
I’m trying to decide it this will replace my AR lens for the P60 drop ins or just have it as another option (opinions?). All of my personal P60s now have the MT lens it’s the only lens for me.
I’ve also tried it in a C8 and I really like the results.
I’ve had a few more requests for the lenses, so if you’re interested, Sunday 11/20 will be the last day to request them through BLF. After that, they will be available on my website, but only as an option with a flashlight or drop in.
I think they are great. It’s not a night and day difference to me, but it is a noticeable improvement with no downside imo.
PM sent
I’ll take 3x MT lenses for S2+
I’ll take 2 for the s2. Can these be filed down to smaller size?
PM sent for 5 S2+ sized lenses. Thanks Randy.
PM Sent.
Any chance for 28.6mm lenses?
PM sent, thanks for offering this!
I have notices in a SMO P60 with a Nichia led that this is like a night and day difference. I have also installed on in a SMO S2+ with and XP-L HI and OMG it makes the beam so perfect! I am going to have to order more of these.
This is a wonderful product!
Mine arrived today. The drop-in I added it to didn’t have any major artifacts, but it still did a nice job of smoothing out the beam. Very nice lens.
Pflexpro thanks for offering it!
This would be a great Lens for the Q8 Flashlight. At the moment i can not find the dimensions. But if the price is right there is much potetial for a big sale (~ 800 people are on the interest list). Because at the moment they are using a plain glass lend without any coating.
The price for a big light like Q8 would be more than the light itself
How could I have missed this innovative lens?
What sizes are possible?
Could this be a aftermarket lens for the Q8?
I am not sure about that!
A ~30mm lens cost 4,5$. I do not have the exact dimensions but it has to be somthing about ~47mm± a few mm.
Sure it will not be for 5$ but I’m pretty sure it will not cost 40$.
And if its in the 10-15$ range i would be definitely interested.
Hope that i can get the exact dimensions soon.
