Dc-fix will take a really bad beam and turn it into soft buttery smooth delight with amazingly low light loss (3.2% ) I've found myself using more and more diffuser film to soften artifacts ,cancel out ugly rings and create a floody smooth beam . If you've wanted to try it ...
PM me with your address,...hit my paypal and I'll ship you some. Thanks !
#1- The original Dc-fix single sided adhesive . 3% loss...Selfbuilt on CPF measured it at only 3% loss..Great stuff ****
#2- same thickness a little different pattern ..still more of a frosted ****
#5- a non adhesive thin material that flattens out the beam so it can be positioned horizontally or vertically . my thoughts are use as a bike light to spread out the beam left and right and cutting off beam that needlessly blinds oncoming traffic.***
#6-///Sold out // non adhesive double sided pattern that is about twice as thick as Dc fix . flexible ****
#7- Non adhesive double sided very fine frosting similar to #2 but more flexible .works great 4 stars****
#8- Thickness is close to #4 no adhesive ,two sided (pattern on both sides) a little bit better than original number 4 ....****
#9- " " Same but different /two sided non adhesive " " " .... ****
#10- Same but different /two sided non adhesive " " " .... ****
#11- Same but different /two sided non adhesive " " " .... ****
#12- Close to same thickness but again a different pattern and different diffusion
#13- " " " " close but not the same

OK how about a few Pics :
Here is an xpl emitter with a yellow hot spot ,ugly green in the corona and bad tint shifting all thru the beam.

this film is some of the best – really cleans up a beam! I have it on many of my lights, easy to apply. Recommend it!
Yep, I recommend it also.. crappy beam? DC FIX!
great way to improve your cheapos.

Rule 1-1 as it applies to life, take it as it comes.Fantastic stuff, I have it on throwy lights to broaden out the beam. Two layers gives all spill, no throw. I have heard it absorbs only a few per cent of the light.

Great stuff .
All of my lights except throwers have a layer of this .
Great for close-up work and headlamps .
What I do
Thanks for doing this!!!! PM Sent!
I would like to see an example of the product being offered. As I understand it, there are different types/levels of diffusion available. Thanks, Ed
[Is this the ‘sand’ or ‘moire’? Product #?]
People just refer to it as “dc-fix” because it seems “sand” is the only one that works well for flashlights. If I’m not mistaken, the others don’t really come close.

Selfbuilt did a test on it on CPF and came up with the 3% loss number .
It's definitely as good or better than any other diffusion material I've ever used . I use it on the S2+ Convoy lights that I originally didn't like as much as the S2 Convoy because they were to floody . This just makes them a beautiful smooth beam which I like much better .
It also kills all those super ugly rings from really ringy lights like the Tank007 566 lights . It took me a long time to start using diffuser film because i somehow thought it was cheating or going to kill a bunch of lumens .I agree with "Jacktheclipper" it's a nice addition to lots of lights .
Certainly one of the cheapest things you can do to dramatically change or fix your flashlights beam pattern .
S -series Convoy tube lights in a nice tint with dx-fix on the lens makes a great 'round the house light

Ah yes, this should be called Mag-Fix. It makes my old MagLite have a nice smooth beam.

It’s good for the xtar but I ended up Using a super heavy film (not DC fix) to get the flood I wanted.

Did you change the emitter as well, or just try the film? Is the DC fix good, but just not good enough for this?
I pls on reflowing a Nichia 219C on mine…

I swapped to Nichia 219. The film is good for many applications. I just wanted a very floody beam and it wasn’t enough for the xtar.
Boaz,
Thanks for bulk-buying this for us, and then sending little strips of it all over the world.
What a hobby!

Ouchyfoot to a New Member: Welcome CJ. Now you have to learn about buying an inexpensive flashlight and modifying it until it either blows up, or starts small fires on the moon…………

I, too, once lived a tragic and empty life. Then I found [portable] light.
You forgot to mention clothes. I sold most of my clothes to fund my light collection. This is actually fine, since I only go out after dark, and most people can’t see me.
Finally, I got my priorities straight.
If like me you're a beam profile snob
This diffusion film does a great job
Of creating a light
That is evenly bright
Why be part of the glaring spot mob ?
What I do
I am going to try it, worse come to worse, there are two sides to the lens that I can DC-Fix… Lol

Now, which flashlights should I try first?
