New Solarforce Y2 focusing flashlight

[Blitzwing]

Yeah, not surprised it's not a great thrower really, given the small lens and big LED.

What does it use for a pill? Does it seem easily moddable?

I have not disassembled the head yet, but here you can see under the lens there's an aluminum retaining ring that looks like it holds the whole head together. Not sure what's underneath, but I might have time to dig in this weekend.

The plastic lens:

The light was free, and the supernatural shipping was cheap at only $27.

Sure it's plastic? Their description mentions - "Strengthened ultra-clear glass lens with two-surface coating for high transparency and light transmittance."

 

[G. Scott H.]

Definitely plastic. I think the mention of the glass lens was probably just a mistake on their part. Maybe they originally intended to go glass but changed that at some point, or maybe they just inserted erroneous info that was meant for another light? I don't know.

Yeh, sounds like the normal description for the flat lenses.

Lol. A couple of really atrocious outdoor beam shots. Highest mode, about 15' from shed. First with lens slid all the way in, second all the way out. I need to figure this cam out better before I take any more.

Spot looks pretty intense.
