I don't know about shops in the UK, but you could order from shops in Germany:

Shipping to the UK should be quite fast.

Have a look at Brum on the marketplace

He has lots of optics , is in the netherlands and has allways been pretty quick For me.

Out of the following lenses which do you rate as the best:

Carclo 20mm 10199 - http://www.led-tech.de/en/High-Powe...o-20mm-Plugin-Lense-10199-LT-1255_106_61.html

CREE 10°/18° - http://www.led-tech.de/en/High-Powe...CREE-Plugin-Lense-10°/18°-LT-977_106_115.html

Or have i missed something else up to 20mm that is a reasonable price?

Cheers.

Gav,
How many do you need?
I have 3 or 4 of the '10 degree' Cree optics (as sold by dealextreme/kaidomain) currently spare, if they'd be any use.

Cheers mate but im building a 7 cree beast...

 

[uk_caver]

Did you have any luck?

I ended up using 2 Seouls rather than 2 Crees for some dive torch conversions I was doing, so I have 6 optics spare, and I could pull another one out of a Tesco torch that I'm not using.

Yes thanks, u have ordered 7 of a 20mm optic made by Carclo from http://www.led-tech.de i forgot already but i think im going to try out the 13 degrees ones first.
