Thoeretically, could someone here design new Fenix reflectors?

Hi,

With all the skilled people on this board, how possible would it be for someone to design and produce new after-market reflectors for Fenix lights? Maybe with different OP levels etc etc.

I know I would definately be in for some for my PxD CE lights!

Jus' wonderin' :)

Realistically, it can be done. But like everything in life it comes at a cost.

You fenix light cost like $30? maybe a little more. Now if you slap a $15 reflector on it with only minor improvement it's not that interesting anymore.

Prolly that's why no one have done it. It kinda defeat the purpose of purchasing an inexpensive light.

I really don't get the commotion about Fenix's smooth reflectors in their cree lights. Sure, the luxeon beam on their older light was nicer and ring free, maybe I was lucky with my L2D, but I can only tell the difference in beam quality between the cree and luxeon when shining at a white wall. Literally. And then the rings are just barely visible.

When in actual use, it's not noticable at all. I wouldn't even had thought about it if people here wouldnt had pointed out the rings of the first creed fenix(oh, how i remember the uproar). But maybe I was lucky and got a good one.
