Fenix P1 diffused

Has anyone tried to sand the lense or reflector of the P1 to get a diffused beam? If yes please post some beamshots

Why sand the lens and ruin it for good (not reversable either)?

I found a spring water nylon bottle's cap that not only fit perfect but works great too. In and out less in than 1 second and I left it on for a few minutes, just warm to the touch. You may want to punch a small hole in the middle for dual purpose! :rock:

Now with the free diffuser:

smart thinking
Thanks excellent

Might have to try afew myself

Hey! thats cool man, gonna try that myself too

now that's some quick thinking

Nice. Which brand of spring water did that cap come from?

Sorry, don't know I found the cap at the tennis court. I didn't even pay for the water!:rock:

I just tried a poland spring cap, works good and holds on by itself to a Fenix l2p and fits on QIII.Very little light loss too!

3M Magic selotape also works well.

Nestle Purelife (cheapest brand at wal-mart) works perfect!

take a dremel to one of these and you'd have a neat little diffuser :naughty:

I expect materials not designed for transmitting light (light a drink bottle lid) may absorb more of it than needed.

Apparently PDA screen protectors - the 'anti-reflective' type - work well as diffusers.

Makes sense: they're designed to let as much light as possible through from the screen while scattering light to diffuse the reflections.

Maybe pick one up at an office store for a few $. If you get a sticky one and cut it to size, I expect it would work very well, but haven't tried.
