Dorcy Spyder Lens Mod

[flashlightlens]

I received my two Spyders a few days ago from kitelights (Thanks Ken!!), and couldn't help but notice the huge amount of wasted space that was crying out for a glass lens:

1.65mm thick Schott Superwite® B270 to be precise....

This makes the Spyder a little bit more like normal lights, where the lens is held in place by the bezel. This mod also took about 5mm off of the overall length of the light as well.

Chris, how'd you get the stock lens out?

The entire area that held the stock lens was simply cut off. I didn't try to save the stock lens, I just chucked up the bezel and started cutting.
