Orange Peel

[rugbymatt]

I hope this question hasnt been answered already but I did a search and didnt find an answer so I will ask here.

I have a Jet I Pro, the original with smooth reflector, that I like very much, but I am wondering if they made an orange peel reflector for it, and if so where could I get one or two? any help would be appreciated.

You're best bet would be some of this, or potentially stipling (think this is the right word) the reflector- this is quite a common technique for mag mods to smooth out the beam when using a smooth reflector (such as the original one). The concept is explained better in other posts, but basically, get an aerosol can of something, spray it onto the reflector from about a foot away. Wait for it to dry, then see what's happened; the effect is very similar to an orange peel reflector when done right. I never really looked into this technique in much detail, so I'm not sure if you have to use special stuff or if deodorant would suffice.

Might be better to put a diffuser on the front. That can be reversed if it doesn't produce the desired effect.

Stuffing up the reflector as suggested, is not easily undone - if possible at all.

Have a look here: http://www.neolumen.eu/products/jetbeam.htm

lists a textured reflector for €13 and a tool for opening the bezel. Might want to just double check on the compatibility. The proprietor speaks english if you want to send him a query.

They definitely DO make an OP reflector - I have both, an OP in my Jet-I Ver 2 and a SMO in my Jet-I EX Ver 2. But I am not 100% sure the original has the same head & reflector as the version 2

Mine is this one: http://www.bugoutgearusa.com/jetipro.html

You could just buy a new one and have 2 Jetbeam lights - or be like me and buy a Jet-IIIM as well and have 3 Jetbeam lights. I really can't see how anyone can have too many Jetbeams to be honest.
