Cleaning flashlights

Luminosus · Dec 13, 2004

How do I clean the dust out of the top of my bezel without possibly hurting the pyrex?, and what do I do if I get something, like a fingerprint or something like it, on my reflector. Oh yeah, this is for the SF LA's with the bulb attached and the turbohead reflectors. Thanks in advance. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Its hard to hurt pyrex. Just use a cloth. Eyeglass cloths are good.

Ok, got those. But what about the reflectors?

Normally I leave the reflectors alone.
If it's dusty, just blow it away.
The small specks of dust won't affect the beam anyway /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

But fingerprints wont blow away. I have heard of alchohol, but when the bulb is attached to the reflecto I don't know what to do.

For that purpose, I use this:

I heard that reflectors are very delicate and that you should never wipe them with anything.

I wipe down my one mag reflector every now and then because it has no lens. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif I use a similar cleaning cloth and it hasn't scratched it so far.

Or you could just use compressed air (in a can) to blow off the dust and such. AFAIK it is not advised to wipe down the reflectors with any liquids etc...
