DC-Fix  Diffusion Film Sale

Agro · 2018-10-13T08:53:03.000Z

Today I finished DC-Fixing my first light. Folomov EDC-C4.
For me this is a camping light and for that purpose it was too throwy.
Some time ago I cut a new lens from the thickest DC-Fix. It was too thin, so I lost waterproofing. I was not worried because I got some GITD o-rings for the light in the mail already. They arrived today, so I finished the change by adding a second o-ring.

The light is still a little too throwy but much better. Marginally lighter than before as well. Thanks Boaz!

Added DC fix to SC26 today . Nice. A little less throw but way nicer wall of light starting at my feet.

Hey Boaz. Got a Wuben E05 yesterday in the mail. Great little light and gets plenty bright and nice spacing on the modes. The beam isn’t so great. So after playing with it for a while and really liking the feel and operation I DC-Fixed the little goober. Did a great job of eliminating most of the crazy tint shifts and rings. Made it more floody of course, which I like, and made the light that much more enjoyable. Looking forward to getting my new envelope full of DC-Fix. Like I told you in the PM, I used more of it on friends and family’s lights than I did my own. I have to stock up on what they got off of me.

PayPal sent for a couple of sheets.

$20 WowTac A2 before and after. I used the film with white backing on this one.
Much improved the bouncy ball effect still has hot spot witch I like.

How does this material stick? Static type laminate or does it actually have an adhesive?

The other I tried had some light adhesive I think, still easy to remove. The white backed stuff I used about doesn’t. I am using the bezel to hold it down.

I just used the Wowtac above for a 3 block ally walk with the dogs. It made my experience, Less busy. Well worth it to me.

Boaz · 2018-12-23T07:14:06.000Z

I have some of both adhesive and some thicker film without ..Just depends on what you want to use it for .

PM me for info on different film other than Dc-fix .

chadvone · 2018-12-23T07:24:16.000Z

Hey Boaz. I have had the Wowtac on my head since the mod(minus a quick shower).

I did a driver swap and flashed it with Anduril earlier today. After the driver swap I used it in the basement to tear down another light, and in the garage looking for tools to tear down another light. Oh and I used it to look for my dc-fix. The wife is gone today so I have gotten to play.

I wasn’t sure I was going to keep this until I put the dc-fix on it and took a short walk, I am using it now at the computer.

The dc-fix turned this 5/10 light into a 9/10 light that just might stay.

I think I will dc-fix my NU30 before the wife gets home.

chadvone · 2018-12-23T07:37:59.000Z

Nitecore NU30 before and after. Used the film that says dc-fix on the back. I think this has adhesive.
What might be hard to see in the before is the horrible squarish shape of the hotspot. It has be dc-fixed……

Boaz · 2018-12-23T08:31:04.000Z

It helps a lot .

I have it on most of my floodier lights and I think a wider smoother beam reduces eye fatigue.

The tint mixing helps even on the best of the best of tints . I have it on a Lumintop tool with a 219B that I just love .It makes the tint noticeably nicer . When doing white wall "best of the best High CRI picks" I always look down and see it's the one with the dc-fix on the lens. If the runner up is 95% as good as my favorite it's enough of a difference that I can tell which one is better .I'm more than willing to dethrone it for something better... but that won't happen anytime soon .

Seems like it's usually just trying to figure out how bad of a tint I'm willing to live with ,or conversely if I like a light well enough to do an emitter swap on it .

Adding diffusion to a beam is one of the simplest ways to Fix it.

I would like to buy some , Are you still selling this?

HONDARIDER · 2019-02-01T13:12:36.000Z

I wouldn’t mind grabbing a couple sheets.

Nev · 2019-02-01T20:13:41.000Z

Bumptybump.

Sometime ago I put the DC-Fix on the Emisar D4 and never had a problem, even with it on turbo. Of course, I didn’t make “extensive” use of turbo many times or for a very long period of time. Still, it didn’t have any problem.

I also used it on my Amutorch AM30 (with XHP70.2) for some time on Max, and had no problem concerning temperature and material damage.
Only reason why I took it out was because this is a thrower and the DC-Fix made it floodier. Still, it made the beam even, annulling those yellowish rings on the flashlight (provoked by that led under a big SMO reflector)

Nev · 2019-02-04T22:05:56.000Z

Boaz:

Pretty good question I’ve never had it on a really hot light like the D4 .I’ve had some other diffuser material loose on a Q8 as a cut disc loosely between lens and a light sabre type wand that has some slight deformity to the material but still works fine . I’ve never wanted to do real life heat testing since I’m quick to turn down lights that are getting too hot anyway . I have some film that no amount of heat is going to affect it,But am equally curious at what point dc fix starts to degrade .

I had some nice green filter material and was impressed with the color …so I went into a darkened bathroom to get a real look at color and thought I’d lost the round disc off the lens in transport and realized my D4 had burnt three quick holes thru the material …Nice color but no ability to handle heat .

I’ve never heard anyone comment about heat issues …I’m guessing it’s pretty high

Pm sent to Nev

Pm recieved , thanks.
