Hi all! 
I have a number of lights i either carry or have in places where they may get banged up a bit and i would feel much better if they had a protective cap over the lens. Something similar to the color filters some brands offer, or the protective cap we use over a camera lens or binoculars.
I’d like that for a few S2s, A6 and the new Astrolux S41…
Any idea where i could source different sizes? - not from the US please.
Thanks
The protective cap of a binoculars I never use fits the S70 like a glove.
But after pressing it on and not being welcomed by light I took it off
I have no idea where to order this kind of stuff, have you searched AliExpress?
No, i have yet to dig into this…
I thought this matter might have been solved and a few known source where already identified. Am i the only one to worry about my front lenses? Of course i could use a holster for each light but that would be cumbersome. Some caps i’ve seen (on rifle scopes for instance) are ‘see-through’ so they don’t even need to be removed if need be.
I’ll let you know what i find…
Depending on the size of the bezel there are lots of companies that make flip up covers for rifle scopes. They are available in several sizes to fit different scopes. I’m not so sure how small they get when talking about the little lights.
Measure twice. Buy once.
This should work for standard single 18650 lights:

Under dollar with free shipping. As far as I could find Xiaomi Yi lens barrel diameter is exactly 24mm so should fit exactly for S2+ and A6 but I have not tested that yet. I will probably buy white one myself to double as compact light diffuser to see how it would work for that. I was actually wondering about using black one with cut out hole to permanently attach to my EDC 1x18650 lights after I dropped S2+ on hard surface and front bezel dented. Those aluminium lights are very soft on impact. I wish Convoy produced S2+ version with stainless bezel (yes, I’m aware of Convoy S3 existence but I don’t like the head with striped knurling). I do not worry for broken lens as they are really tough and easily obtainable if need be and none have failed on me as of yet. One thing to consider though: silicone is not slippery so it will not work for snug pocket carry and would come off all the time.
