I don't frequent the CPF forums that much anymore even though I'm a charter member.

Where can I buy a glass lens for a Streamlight Key-Mate? Thanks.
 
You can try dealextreme, kaidomain or flashlightlens. I don't know which size you are loooking for. Flashlightlens does carry the better quality lenses.
 
thanks.... i left flashlightlens a email looking for the ex-10 replacement lens. i don't have a pair of calipers to measure, but the lens is just shy of the exact diamater of a penny, albeit a bit thinner. i let them know of this also. thanks for the tip mod 007
 
You can also do a basic google search. I think this is a good idea to find the items you want. :)

Diameter of a penny (google search) 19.05mm. So I would assume you need 19mm since you said it was just shy. A glass lens can be sanded to fit. I had a friend who installed glass as a side job. He told me that they sanded the glass with a belt sander to smooth the edges. I thought he was full of it, until I built a custom light that my 50mm lens would not fit into. I had built the light before I had the lens in hand. The lens was almost 51mm. So I took some 1000grit sand paper and started sanding. 15 minutes later it measured 49.5mm. Fit like a charm. If you try this be very aware of where your glass shavings end up. Clean up good with a shop vac.
 
Ive a ton of glass from toolsgs. Ive also bought a couple of sapphire lenses from ofrei. Ive been quite pleased with both.
