Does an IR filter even work with an LED? In theory the F03 from Surefire should fit the L1 or HDS lights without modification, but I don't know if LEDs put out enough (if any) IR wavelength light for the filter to be useful. Perhaps someome more knowledgable can fill in this blank.

In any case, I do know the F0* series beamshapers/filters will fit the L1 and HDS lights (1" bezel diameter).

LEDs do not put out light in the IR range so using an IR filter would be a waste. As stated earlier the F0* filters and beamshapers will fit the L1.
