BUILD PROCESS - AR lens and outdoor beamshots
The 3mm thick acrylic lens from flashlightlens.com is perfect, and is well secured with 6 screws around the front.
It looks like this in person too, almost invisible when it is on the flashlight.
BEAMSHOTS!
This time I swapped the LED out to a black flat, making it much easier to focus into a spot, although it is still not perfectly focused for max lux.
The distance to the trees is 400m.
No pics of this, but compared to the old OptoFire it has a noticeably brighter spot, while also being much larger.
The brightness of the beam is fairly similar, however the SyniosBeam has a much thicker beam due to the reflector diameter.
