Hey Boaz. I have had the Wowtac on my head since the mod(minus a quick shower).

I did a driver swap and flashed it with Anduril earlier today. After the driver swap I used it in the basement to tear down another light, and in the garage looking for tools to tear down another light. Oh and I used it to look for my dc-fix. The wife is gone today so I have gotten to play.

I wasn’t sure I was going to keep this until I put the dc-fix on it and took a short walk, I am using it now at the computer.

The dc-fix turned this 5/10 light into a 9/10 light that just might stay.

I think I will dc-fix my NU30 before the wife gets home.

Nitecore NU30 before and after. Used the film that says dc-fix on the back. I think this has adhesive.
What might be hard to see in the before is the horrible squarish shape of the hotspot. It has be dc-fixed……

It helps a lot .

I have it on most of my floodier lights and I think a wider smoother beam reduces eye fatigue.

The tint mixing helps even on the best of the best of tints . I have it on a Lumintop tool with a 219B that I just love .It makes the tint noticeably nicer . When doing white wall "best of the best High CRI picks" I always look down and see it's the one with the dc-fix on the lens. If the runner up is 95% as good as my favorite it's enough of a difference that I can tell which one is better .I'm more than willing to dethrone it for something better... but that won't happen anytime soon .

Seems like it's usually just trying to figure out how bad of a tint I'm willing to live with ,or conversely if I like a light well enough to do an emitter swap on it .

Adding diffusion to a beam is one of the simplest ways to Fix it.

I would like to buy some , Are you still selling this?

HONDARIDER · February 1, 2019, 1:12pm

Sometime ago I put the DC-Fix on the Emisar D4 and never had a problem, even with it on turbo. Of course, I didn’t make “extensive” use of turbo many times or for a very long period of time. Still, it didn’t have any problem.

I also used it on my Amutorch AM30 (with XHP70.2) for some time on Max, and had no problem concerning temperature and material damage.
Only reason why I took it out was because this is a thrower and the DC-Fix made it floodier. Still, it made the beam even, annulling those yellowish rings on the flashlight (provoked by that led under a big SMO reflector)

Boaz:

Pretty good question I’ve never had it on a really hot light like the D4 .I’ve had some other diffuser material loose on a Q8 as a cut disc loosely between lens and a light sabre type wand that has some slight deformity to the material but still works fine . I’ve never wanted to do real life heat testing since I’m quick to turn down lights that are getting too hot anyway . I have some film that no amount of heat is going to affect it,But am equally curious at what point dc fix starts to degrade .

I had some nice green filter material and was impressed with the color …so I went into a darkened bathroom to get a real look at color and thought I’d lost the round disc off the lens in transport and realized my D4 had burnt three quick holes thru the material …Nice color but no ability to handle heat .

I’ve never heard anyone comment about heat issues …I’m guessing it’s pretty high

Pm sent to Nev

Pm recieved , thanks.

So is anyone still actively selling DC fix? Needing a small portion for a Wowtac A2s headlamp. Any info let me know thx.

chadvone · February 5, 2019, 3:37am

TxGoodfella did you see this post?

I am sure Boaz is still selling it.

TxGoodfella · February 5, 2019, 3:50am

Duh yea sry bout that, PM’ing now

chadvone · February 5, 2019, 3:55am

I just linked the photo so you would have an idea how it worked on the Wowtac.
Its cheap enough to try others but be sure to get the DC. It seams to do the best all around.

Goodluck.

Along with his soul… :smiling_imp:

Boaz · February 5, 2019, 6:10am

Yes I have become the very definition of a BLF shill :P

Believe me ....every penny earned is given back to the flashlight community. It all goes toward battery testing ,tint evaluation,light juggling,modern light art dance theory and shelf building.

Congrats Nev you won the last dc -fix giveaway .

Your fix is free

Lightbringer · February 5, 2019, 6:44am

I’m jest yankin’ ya chain…

Marc_E · February 5, 2019, 6:52pm

Is this stuff privacy film for windows?

TxGoodfella · February 5, 2019, 7:28pm

Basically. Worth mentioning Boaz has a few diff films for diff applications.

DavidEF · February 5, 2019, 8:04pm

Yes, and is sold in (some) stores in large sheets and/or rolls. DC-Fix is arguably the best brand of this kind of stuff. Lots of the members here have found it to be a wonderful way to smooth flashlight beams, especially on flashlights that have bad artifacts in the beam. :confounded:

Boaz is selling small pieces, so that members don’t have to hunt down and buy a whole roll of the stuff themselves. Not every store has every type of film, and not every member has use for several linear feet of the stuff.

Marc_E · February 5, 2019, 8:17pm

Thanks Can’t find DC-Fix here so will try some locally available stuff out, see what it’s like.

And thanks for this too! Yes, i assume anything i get won’t be as good as DC-fix but as long as it’s good enough i’ll be happy. Only for one torch really so not too fussed if it doesn’t work.
