Coated Lens for a Solarforce L2P?

You aren’t supposed to be able to perceive the difference, so that’s fine.
(Ignoring what you mentioned about the hotspot that is. I’d check that your reflector is snugged onto the pill)

Well I’m going to have a serious problem. I have more Solarforce L2 series flashlights than I have AR coated lenses. So if I lose track of which head has an AR lens I won’t know which is which and forever be replacing what I think are glass lenses (but really AR lenses) with new AR lenses!!! Any suggestions how to keep track?

Heheheh. Sure, an actual AR coated lens has a very visible color cast when you look at the reflections in it. You’ll never mistake an uncoated one for a coated one or vice versa. Take a look at the OP in this thread for reference: P60 Kaidoman AR coated glass - Recommended! Pics inside

IIRC the trick is certainly to tilt the lens and look at reflections at a steep angle. Some AR coated lenses will be purple, some green.
