For the money, you could do a lot better. In reality, focusing systems aren't very effective or useful (IMO). A nice multi-mode light with a diffuser would be much better, from any one of many quality manufacturers out there... Ie: Fenix, Quark, Nitecore, Jetbeam, etc...

Actually that diffuser sucks, I have tried it in my LD10.
You get better diffuser by bying the red filter adapter and replacing the lens with white plastic, works for me.
