Seoul domes supposed to be a little cloudy?

[Orion]

The Seoul LED that came on top of the Malkoff dropin seems rather cloudy compared to other LEDs (Luxeons), and it feels kind of "sticky". Is this a normal attribute for this LED?

Yes. Do not touch the dome. It is a gummy kind of substance, and dirt and dust will stick to it. I cannot tell you how to properly clean it, but maybe someone else can.

Yep seouls are known for having gummy bear domes.

Use isopropyl alcohol and a Qtip to clean with very little pressure.

Would you believe it...spit works great to clean the Seoul Led too. Use a cloth.

Okay, I was just wondering because I have only known LEDs to have clear domes. Obviously the "gummy bear dome" (I like that term) doesn't take away from the brightness.

Now I just have to find a GOOD colored Maglite to place Gene's well made dropin. . . . in.

*searching*

make sure the Q-tip is tightly wound (unfrayed) or you will have pieces of cotton stuck to the gummy dome after your done cleaning it.

I've found that by far the best method is using sticky tape to remove any dust or dirt on the dome.
