All you need is a Maglite anti-roll slip on bezel cover (zbattery sells them, search for 408-021) and a Kaidomain 51mm Aspheric lens (recent stock, SKU S020647).
I can just imagine some of you are thinking "wow this guy is lazy, how hard is it to unscrew the bezel and remove the lens?". This implementation allows you to simply slip on the lens without unscrewing the bezel. This can be particularly useful being outdoors out in the elements where moisture/dust/etc. might pose a problem. Ok now for some beamshots. FYI the mag is running a XP-E2 R3 1D @ 1.4A.
f/4.5, 1/200s underexposed
f/4.5, 1/1000s underexposed some more
With the stock SMO reflector hotspot lux was 62k @ 1m while the Aspheric was 105.2k @ 1m , not bad at all... FYI hotspot lux measurements were taken at 2m and calculated for 1m. The focus point for this particular aspheric lens isn't too far off from the focus point with a regular reflector setup.
