Why are Orange Peel Reflectors sometimes the only option?. (RANT)

I think PflexPro found that instead of 526 meters of calculated throw from a SMO reflector, it went down to 518 meters with an orange peel reflector… I think that is an amount I can live with. Up close, who doesn’t want a smoother transition from the melt-a-cat hotspot to the edge-of-the-beam-that-you-make-your-face-scary-with-when-you-hold-it-under-your-chin part… I know it makes actually using the light up close a lot easier for me….

O-Range-peel, O-Range-peel, O-Range-peel…. No one wants to chant with me LOL, what I love about flashlights, you can make them what YOU want…
