Anyone ever tried it to “unfry a egg”?
Got a bunch of lights (pretty much all the LuxPros I got, that seem to all use XP-G3s), and there’s that hideous yellow corona around an otherwise decent white hotspot, and a pale blue spill. Rather nasty fried-egg beam…
They smooth out that any, or just artifacts like rings?
But, But, But…
I thought you LIKED fried eggs! I’m confused! :person_facepalming:
Hey, I love ’em (over medium, usually; hate when the eggwhite is like snot), but not in my beams.
I wish I could stick TIRs in there. Maybe the 2×AA light, but the 4×AAA one and expecially 2×D light are way too big in diameter.
I’ll poke around those posts, see what gives… hjeh. 
I’ve been wanting to try this. Had to get some for a window of all reasons (off of Amazon), but I tried it on one of my lights first. I have just gotten the Wuben E01. Great little AAA light except for the rings and yellow corona when using close up. Took me a while to dial in the correct size on scrap paper (cuticle scissors work really well for the round cut). My cuts weren’t perfect, one edge is not quite so (minor artifact on the edge of the beam), but it is close to 99%. The rings virtually disappeared along with the yellow corona. I wished I would have taken some before pictures.
Now it is a near perfect light. The adhesive didn’t appear to be that sticky, so I hope it stays on OK.
Can’t wait to try it on my AA light. The others are good enough — I’m OK with them — for now anyways.
Great stuff. More and more of my lights are wearing it.

I just got some new material in .
For those interested that means I now have 8 different diffuser materials I'm offering .... and a few more in the works.
Sure, need details when you have them.
Will you be updating your first post with these options? I think otherwise it’ll be “lost in the shuffle.” Also, what are the sheet sizes and costs of these other options?
I’m sold. 
Boaz was nice enough to send me a “sampler” of various types of film, some sticky and some not.
All the LuxPro lights I got have G3s in there, which results in piss-yellow coronas around the hotspot. Really annoying.
Wellp, I tried a piece of #2 (nonsticky), which is pretty heavily frosted but not too “grainy”, which is about perfect for the small reflector on the 2×AA LP that I got. Popped the glass, trimmed the piece using plain ol’ scissors using the glass as a template, “rounded” it a bit more once the rough cutt (haha) was done, and popped it between the front glass and reflector.
Nice!
Killed the throw and made it nice and floody, which to me is way more useful in a small light like this. In fact, the more I’m playing with it, the more I like it!
And no more piss-yellow corona turning my stomach anymore, just a nice pretty well-balanced white, even with the come-with emitter.
Just got some classic d-c-fix sent out from boaz, plus a sampler he threw in. Quick turnaround and great service. Looking forward to putting it on the Sofirn Q8. I saw a video recently which showed the Q8's beam looking great with diffusion film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi3hLBouZeY. Looking forward to trying it on a few lights.
Actually, I kinda like the tint/beam of the BLF Q8 as-is, as it does have some decent throw but is still somewhat floody. Mine has nothing like the piss-yellow corona (henceforth “PYC”) as you see in the video, though.
Now, the Sofirn Q8 and Airpro DC7, which are both more CW and throwier, would both benefit from the ’Fix to smooth out the beam. If I want a thrower, I’d trot out my L2 or even one of my C8s.
Finally did my 3rd/last LuxPro, and finally got out from G3 Hell. Nice buttery smooth beam vs PYC.
The BLF Q8 is a great light and the beam shape generally doesn't need fixed ....unless you want to use it as a Lantern .In that case diffuser film makes the light a very nice long lasting ,super tailstanding beautiful lantern without the normal obnoxious glare that blinds you . I think the beam with diffuser film is much nicer too as it blends the colors and gets rid of the tint shifting thru out the beam.
I've been talking about starting a thread on how to make simple pop on /pop off flat diffusers like filters on a camera lens .It makes lights like the Q8 much more versatile.
Pm’d & paid, thank you
