Looking for a reflector that will replace the DX/VINET reflector.

Intended for Seoul/Luxeon applications, throw preferred.

Aluminum preferred, plastic would do.

Thanks for your offerings and/or pointers in the right direction. I need a couple.

Update-

I found a spare Cree Aluminum reflector for the FT-01 (available from JSburlys) and hand-filed (that's right) 1/4 inch of material from both sides of the thick aluminum reflector.

This makes a beautiful beam, and fits better than I hoped for...

:) :) :)

Here's how it came out. The reflector is so thick that you can see the file marks on the top when the reflector fits within the head opening and flush. No worries, it's better than a damaged plastic lens :p

The glass is right up against the metal, but there is an o-ring on the other side of the glass. I suppose this will hold up, if not I have a spare lens. :)

Thanks, that's a good option. If you use any of these, let us know how they fit. :)

It's all good just so long as you don't start arguing with yourself and end up living in the Peanut Palace. :tinfoil:
