I know my EDC lights is going to get some scratches, or a lot of scratches on its lens because its in my pocket all day, but with my other lights I'd like to be able to find some way to protect their lenses so they dont get scratched or dinged up. I bought the Eagletac aluminum folding diffuser and installed in onto the bezel area of my G25C2, but quickly realized that the actual diffuser lens doesnt really seem to accomplish anything useful, as I can just ceiling bounce it without the diffuser if I need to light up an indoors area, but its a great way to protect the main lens when not in use, so I keep it on there, and just fold it back when I need the light.
I wont be able to find a nice folding aluminum lens cover like than for all my lights, so the other option would be plastic/rubber rifle scope lens caps, but I'd probably want to manually test the size of them in a store to see if they fit as opposed to ordering them based on a measurement, then discovering they are either too tight or too loose, then having to return them through the mail and needing to pay for repeated shipments back and forth for different lights.
After all, I was looking at the lens on many of my lights, and they have zero scratches at this point because I've made sure not to scratch them, except my EDC light which cant be avoided. So with 90% of my nice LED lights, their lenses/reflectors are perfectly smooth and shiny with no scratches and I'd like to keep them that way!:thumbsup:
Has anyone else thought of this or figured out a better way to protect your lights' lenses?
