MULE Wannabe?

[GhostReaction]

Does any other PD owner do this?

I held back at ordering the Mule as I thought it will be too short for my hands. So I placed a Surefire F04 beam shaper and it fits perfectly :nana:

The flood is smooth wall of light

 

[mossyoak]

i do.

This set up :rock: It could do what the Mule do and just remove the diffuser for normal beam. :nana:
The rubber boot is also a nice shock absorber in case the light drop head first and it prevent rolling.

GhostReaction,

IMHO, anyone who has a 1" OD light and doesn't have a F04 is missing a whole dimension of their light's potential!! :thumbsup:

 

[Kiessling]

I do not have such a device. My lights have to do on their own.

I'd take that a step further and include the F05/F06 as well. Those still see some use, but the Mule made the F04 a bit redundant.

I would've never thought about doing that.

mule= $400ish
FO4= $10ish

'cept the F04 can only dream of the 115° even flood of the Mule...

I wasnt aware that its that floody :thumbsup:
The mule is a very nice looking light and I got nothing against it.

Well, I got big chubby hands that even the TiPD is just a little small for me

Like what Don said; dont miss out on the F04 if you own a TiPD like I did all this while

I found that the F04 actually degrades the Mule beam. But if you pop the diffuser out of it, the rubber from the F04 alone makes a beautiful bumper for 1" lights. I have them without the diffusers on BOTH ends of my HDS. Makes a leaning light tailstand too.

All four of my F04s slide right off the end of my Ti PD-S, sadly. Either the light is too narrow or too smooth, I guess. Fortunately, I don't feel nearly as much need to bumper the Ti lights! Like putting a bumper on a tank!

Mule Cx2!

WOW, guess there may be a run on these!

 

[Gointothelight]

Thanks for the idea... my PD has now truly become my most carried EDC... with this option it fits nearly every conceivable scenario... not that I wouldn't pick up a Cx2 if I could get my hands on one.

 

[pianoman]

optics planet deliver the F04 within the week! Agree adds another dimension to 1 inch head lights....also a good protector.....

 

[GhostReaction]

Great to hear that you got yourself the F04 for your TIPD

Now that somebody mentioned the CX2

Hmm I wonder if my 27LT could fit into any of the other surefire diffuser?

 

[cave dave]

if you have no money left after buying a PD you can always make Cave Dave's Redneck Beam diffuser.

 

[Oddjob]

Thanks Cave Dave for coming up with this and thanks to kelmo as well for originally discovering the cap fits. I just made a couple of these using the bottom of a 35mm film canister. WOW. I feel a little better that I was not able to get a mule. I have an F04 beam diffuser on the way but this is a great inexpensive solution.
