I'd like to smooth out the beam of a Mag 2C. I read about diffuse lenses at flashlightreviews.com, but it seems like they hurt the output, and really hurt the throw.

I've also read about variously textured reflectors for the ROP, and other mods. I may try a five- or six-cell bulb with three 123As at some point, but I'd like to know whether a new reflector would make a difference with the stock bulb or the Mag-LED drop in.

A new reflector doesn't really hurt output. It only diminishes throw. The light will just be "scattered" using a textured reflector, textured lens, or frosted bulb. It will all still be there just not narrowed as much.

Definitely try the 5 cell bulb with 3x123 cells. You can try scotch tape on the lens to mimic texturing for a temporary mod.
