...AWESOME!!! I ordered a Pelican L1 from theledlight.com, and I also ordered a spare lens for my PAL Gold. As I was playing around with the L1, I noticed that it's lens diameter was about the same as the PAL lens. I popped the L1's lens out and put in the PAL lens, and the result was a VERY nice beam that seemed to almost double the L1's intensity! At about 5 feet away, the perfectly round and smooth beam is about twice as wide as the main beam of my PT Impact (albeit, only about half as bright...). For a keychin sized light, the beam is wide enough to still be fully functional as a small flood style light, yet intense enough to light a distance 2 to 3 times farther than my Photon III
! The only drawback is since the PAL lens is thicker than the L1 lens, the edge of the L1's bezel doesn't go completely over the O ring...I'll hafta work on that
. Anyway, the end result was very good. I'm so pleased with it that I'm not gonna take the lens off, even though I've obviously given up water resistance. BTW, the regular PAL lens works also, but the PAL Gold lens gives a MUCH cleaner beam!
