Very limited diffuse reflector going on sale

[Tejasandre]

I tried the kitchen grippy thing. I guess I've got girly hands.

I used my index finger and thumb. [emoji16]

It's still not easy cause the part is so small and still a pain.

Maybe hot water or sticking it in the freezer?

Did you decide 3 o'clock or 4500k? That's a tough choice, i love both emitters. This is when it's nice to have duplicates

I hope you can find a way to get the reflector separated

 

[Tejasandre]

Decided 4500 in short tube. The 3 o'clock will live in the 18650.

Guess that's why you're bigburly & I'm not. Lol

Maybe try a tennis shoe sole and the grippy thing with other hand.
Tennis shoe acts like a gripper. Need to find hogos video of it

Oh that's a NICE bezel with the tritium. Was that the special run that was made?

Yessir, and I believe there's still a handful available -- https://yourlittlecncshop.com/products/tritium-ready-hds-edc-flashlight-bezel

The tritium bezel wasn't made by HDS. I forget who made it but I believe they are currently or going to be available.

edit: emarkd beat me to it.

 

[INFRNL]

Yeah, emarkd had them made through the little machine shop or whatever the place was called
They were still some available a while ago but not sure what the current status is

 

[thermal guy]

OMG That is a thing of beauty

 

[Hogokansatsukan]

So , how are you guys separating the bezels & reflectors?

Well, in the shop I use my teeth, but that gets messy when I'm chewing tobacco. Drives Henry crazy.

I have all my reflectors set up as assemblies. It makes it much easier if I want to move them around, and then I don't have to worry about touching the lens or reflector when I'm swapping them out.

Sounds like an excellent plan. Gotta get that first one in. & get some chewing tobacco?

 

[INFRNL]

That's a good idea...order a spare bezel to make it complete.

Wonder how the glow reflector would look on one of those trit bezels

 

[Tejasandre]

Finally got mine installed. Sure is bumpy. The 4500 still seems to have a bit of a hotspot. Final verdict at nightfall

It's not a full diffuse reflector. It will still have a hot spot it just softens the light a little

 

[CRKDMike]

It looks OK...I guess

 

[Tejasandre]

I'm not digging mine. Gonna give it a few more days.

Just feels like it takes too much away. With the reflector, I can dial down indoors. But diffused, I run out of brightness outdoors.
