Hi everyone.
I'd better apologise straight away for the stupid thread title - thought it would attract some viewers.
Anyway, yesterday I got a 45mm diameter, 30mm focal length aspheric lens in the mail from surplusshed. I've now made an attachment (out of a small kitchen funnel, a bit of plastic, sticky tape and superglue) for my Fenix L2d. (It looks a bit weird, but it fits.)
Sorry, I can't post attachments for some reason, but I'll try to describe the result. Basically, it throws as far with the lens in low mode as without the lens in turbo; looks almost like a laser beam where it comes out of the lens.
It's a bit hard to guess, but I think the beam probably spreads about 60-70 cm over 15 or 20 metres. A fair bit, not super focused, but hugely different to the normal beam pattern.
Overall, it's definately worth trying . There are also some 50 and 60 cm focal length lenses where I got this, which would increase the throw another 2 or 3 times!
