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-Single sided , fine frosted texture . produces a softly diffused beam yet still leaves softened hotspot .(almost the same as #3 ) Very good !!!! ****
#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 or #3 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 # 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 ( #8 thru #12 are going to be very similarto each other)
#13- Sold out

Here is a light using an XPL emitter with a yellow hot spot and ugly green in the corona with 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.

What I do
Thanks for doing this!!!! PM Sent!
I am still on the search for a few things:
Solarforce L2-S12 tailcap
Solarforce L2-S11 tailcap

Solarforce Y2 Zoomable Flashlight
Solarforce L2E Flashlight

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.
Pm sent. Thanks.

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…………
Hugh Johnson:
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

Boaz:

Now, which flashlights should I try first?
