frustrated with the scarcity of SureFire accessories locally, decided to make my own F04 diffuser, here's the BOM:

- A MiniMagLite (2xAA) Accessory Pack
- A plastic stationary container (diffused and thick)
Total cost: ~US$ 7.00 + ~US$ 1.20 = ~US$ 8.20

from ceiling bounce test, the lost is approximately 20-25% I guess. I'm actually surprise that the low level is quite usable too. :grin2:
 
Nice...I do basically the same, but I just put glass frost on the clear Mag lens instead of using a seperate material. Always neat to see these innovative ideas though!
