DC-Fix Diffusion Film Sale

Woohoo! DC Fix #3 was exactly what my 5000K SST-40 S21A needed. It still has a hot spot, but it’s bigger, and almost perfectly smooth. And whiter. Almost too nice to be used as a bike light now. Nah.

Has anybody has any success utilizing this film? I am working on a Solarforce L2B to mount on some bicycle handlebars and this sounds ideal… Except that its a non-adhesive film!

I have not used this particular film but I have used non-adhesive film on windows. One window stayed on perfectly but the other always wanted to peel in the corners no matter what I did. Eventually I mixed a little wall paper paste with water and used it very diluted. So far stays on well now.

The nonsticky stuff I always samwich between the front glass and the reflector.

Hell, even the sticky stuff, unless I want the ability to peel it off for instathrow.

What’s the best method to spread the beam on a SP40? Which film should I use?

There’s no “best”, only “best as to what I’m looking for”.

Lightly diffused will just “smear” the beam a bit, eg, to get rid of a hole/cross from a multi-die emitter, get rid of mild artifacts in a beam, etc.

Heavily diffused will turn even a thrower into a flooder and give a nice blanket of light, only not as edge-to-edge even or with as sharp a cutoff as an aspheric.

Then there’s everything in-between.

I put DC fix on a Quark 1AA Pro with a SST-20 swap. Minimal shape change.

Thanks Boaz! I almost tossed your note until I noticed the #5 in the corner. Shipped quickly, I’m just slow to thank……

I seem to be having trouble sending you a PM, but could you put me down for a few sheets of whatever is best for an H600c? It will also be used to diffuse a proper thrower into a more general purpose light. My paypal is [redacted]
Thank you!

Hi there, welcome to BLF! It’s not a good idea to post email addresses in public, so I redacted it. I also enabled PM privileges for your account so you can contact Boaz directly now.

Just wanted to say that it was a pleasure doing business with Boaz. I just tested out six of the diffusion films and a couple of the minus green filters, and posted the results over on r/Flashlight. I have to say that I’m really liking #12 and #7 (they are very similar to my frosted TIRs), and the minus green filters are pretty cool. This is my first experience with them. This was a good deal, and I encourage folks to buy a few and try them out. Thanks Boaz!

I’ll take 2 sheets of number 1. The name box turns red when trying to send PM, not sure what the issue is.

Uh-oh.

Probably like in “I The Robot” where, when their lights go from blue to red, they go on a killing rampage!

Here's a quote from Mr. Admin to someone else, but it applies to you as well:

"Hi there, as a new user your account has private message limitations. Please continue to use BLF, and the limits will eventually be lifted."

...

Basically, the more posts on BLF you have, the more PMs you can send per day.

So… no Killer Boaz?

What a letdown…

that's a very nice comment ...

Sent you a PM ... maybe my pm works :)

Just found my DC-fix from my last order. Cut out a piece for my H32w.
Did the trick, like I new it would.
Now the H32w is very comparable to the Manker E03II TIR (without difuser).

Has anyone figure out an easy way to cut a doughnut ? And just cover about a 1/4 inch of the outer ring?
Results?
