Just tried out my AE Xenide 25W at work last night. I must say I'm impressed with the throw, not mentioned the excellent build and light weight.
Now the problem with maximizing the throw is that I get a spot (or dot?) when I perform inspection at shorter distance of about 5 feet. I'll probably try out the diffuser on my next night shift but from what I've seen when using it outside my apartment it may not have sufficient throw for my longer distance inspection at work (about 100 feet).
Does anyone know where I can get a diffuser that diffuses the beam a little for a sufficiently wide spot (not dot) for close quarters but not so much that I can still illuminate something a bit further? Maybe something like the matte lens on the L1 or a textured reflector that can fit the bezel? I looked up the AE website but apparently they only have smooth reflectors for Xenides.
