Any non-Surefire flip style diffusers.

oronocova · Aug 22, 2008

Hello,
I see Surefire makes a flip style diffuser that slips and locks over the head of a flashlight. I was wondering if anyone knew of another company that made such a gadget?
I have been thinking about making my own out of some of the flip up covers for rifle scopes. They are sold in various sizes just a matter of finding one that fits. Then you could either fit it with a diffusing material or just sand the lens lightly until you got the desired results. Anybody try something similar?

TIA

Bushwacker (who actually used to produce some of the surefire flip covers) and Butler Creek for a start

i have an improvised diffuser made by cutting a hole out of protective chair legs covers. fits E1L or any lights with 1.0" diameter. diffuser material is recycled from discarded water bottle.

its a slip on/off, not flip style, similiar to Surefire's F03 filter.

Thanks for the input. I googled butler creek, and I see that they make some gun related products including flip up scope covers. Didn't see anything specifically for flashlights but I guess a scope cover the right size is probably the "poor man's" route.

Thanks again,

Jon

The Heliotek HTE-1 has a built in flip diffuser but it is not transferable to another light.

As mentioned before; Butler Creek sells some see nice scope covers that have clear lens'.

You can diffuse the lens's yourself.
