DC-Fix Diffusion Film Sale

Pm sent for an order. Or is you paypal posted somewhere I am not looking?

EDIT- Paypal sent

Was thinking of getting some just for s&g, but was curious… does it just blend the beam, or actually make it floodier?

It does both .

On really ugly beams like xpg-3 with a poorly adapted reflector you can have a crazy amount of yellow in the hotspot and a silly amount of purple in the corona .and it just blends it all together and makes a much much better tint.
I’m guessing that the greatest impact is just because of the proper mixing of all the colors .

- One of my worst lights had a Big Black Hole right in the center of the hot spot , as well as crazy rings in the beam and the same yellow hot spot and a purple halo . Pretty cool to see a really nasty beam turn out buttery smooth and the color go from bad to very acceptable

One thing I like about diffuser film is it softens up the edges of the beam.Where an aspherical lens zoomed out into full flood has a distinct edge that separates light from darkness.
I used to think I liked that dramatic cut off of light and now I think it just draws my eye to it. The softer edge allows me to look where I want and doesn’t force my eye .Sounds silly but I think it’s true .

Got mine in mail today. Took about 15 minutes to put on. I put on wrong stuff first. Wasn’t paying attention.

Easy if you can get the lens off. Got photos I can email if anyone wants to post them.

Edit, I have imgur. loosing my mind

Before

After

I cut larger piece then needed, peeled, laid sticky side up. Placed lens on side. Trimmed around outer edge.
The paper is to prevent finger prints.

Finished cutting

Lens back in, I put fix on inside, don’t think it matter with this light as there is 2 O-rings.

Taking it out for a dog walk after a trip to walmart to look for some grip tape.

What makes this DC fix film better than other frosted window film?

Shipped to your door for a few bucks.
Great customer service.
You can feel good about yourself, knowing your supporting a enthusiast.

This thread is full of testimonies. Why spend money on something that might not work as good?

Its fun to wait for something in the mail

Took the light in post 209 out for a dog walk. Really liked the difference.

Made it feel more like a floody headlamp with much more throw… Didn’t notice any rings, or edges.

Everyone should try this. If you don’t have a light that needs it now, you might in the future.

Thanks, i just don’t like to wait many days for a film shipped from US to Australia and discover that it similar to other films from my local store.
Ok I will buy both and have a comparison

I understand what your saying. You could stumble upon something greater.

DC-Fix is a brand name. That is what is being sold here. There have been members who’ve tested other brands and found them to be less appealing. Someone said the other brand they tried blocked more of the light, rather than just diffusing it. Some of the other brands just don’t diffuse as well as DC-Fix. And some are just not as well made product, not as durable.

You don’t have to buy DC-Fix from Boaz. It’s not his brand. He just has access to it and sells it here for our convenience. If you find a local store that sells genuine DC-Fix brand, you could buy it there. Part of the convenience factor here is the size. I haven’t found any stores around me selling DC-Fix diffuser film in small sheets like this. All I’ve seen is large rolls for covering windows in a home. YMMV.

dc-fix is at times considered a generic term . Like Kleenx or Q-tip…Ask me how I know .?
For a long time I was selling a product that was sold to me as Dc-fix. It did a great job diffusing light…. and .
Then one day I got Dc-fix that didn’t just have what looked like graph paper on the back side . It said DC_FIX on it.
I kind of freaked out considering I’d been selling dc-fix for about a year and a half to some of the most beloved members on the forum . After comparing the two I realized I like them both almost equally …So the easy answer is to just sell both
I’m also selling other diffuser films that I offer to anyone and everyone interested …in my reply PM…And I always add extra samples of materials I carry with every order .
So ask the question again ?? Why is Dc-fix better than other materials ?
Light losses . materials that impart color or shift the beam .varying thicknesses for different applications …lots of reasons ….All I offer is about 5 years of experience shooting light thru 100’s of materials… and about 6 other diffuser film that I like well enough to sell .

Thanks for your explanation, is this film good for making a long light diffuser, like a saber?

No, it spreads the light out, takes out rings, reduces throw a little.

Well, it might be good for a saber, depending on the size/shape of the tube used for the saber. But, I think most tubes that are good size/shape for saber use are already frosted, right? Also, I don’t know if DC-Fix is flexible enough to stretch over the rounded end of a saber tube. I’ve never tried it. If you figure all that stuff out, and have a tube you want to use that isn’t frosted already, I think DC-Fix could do the trick. Oh, one other thing to consider is that most DC-Fix will have some kind of visible pattern texture on the surface. In fact, I don’t know if any of them don’t. Someone else would have to answer that.

I misunderstood , I thought he was asking about a pencil beam type thrower. Like when its foggy.

Wow, received them!
That was quick!

Thanks Boaz

Thanks for the feedback .
