I also sell my bronze CR2-ION which got my parabolic reflector mod.
I opened the bezel up to 14.5mm and turned in a parabolic reflector which then was polished by hand.
So the light has a lot of more throw as with the original smaller and straight reflector.
I also polished the top part of the knurling which gives a wonderful contrast to the lower, darkened areas.
The front of the bezel is also highly polished.

I want $195 including worldwide registered mail shipping for this little gem.

Jochen, what's the beam like, as far as size of hotspot, smoothness of transition, brightness of spill, or comparison to some familiar beam?

Hello Rudi,

here comes a beamshot I just made for you:

Unfortunately all my IONs are modded, so I cannot give you a comparisation shot.
The beam has a lot of more throw than the floody original "reflector".
But it has less throw, and also more flood than a MCR reflector.
I would say it is in the middle :)

BTW. This is the first and only parabolic modded and reflector opened ION I ever sold ;)
