I'm curious if anyone here has swapped a McGizmo or any other reflector that is more textured than the stock one into a V10R? If so what size did you have to go with? And if nobody has would someone with a V10R and some calipers be willing to get me some specs so I can compare with McGizmo and possibly find a suitable replacement? Thanks!

I'm out of V10's at the moment but when I made my "V10R mule" the heatsink was 18mm for a snug fit. 18mm is the Diameter of the SWM reflector.

What's wrong with the stock?

I had a Nichia 219 swapped in and I love the light but I feel like it gives me tunnel vision. Like it throws very well but the spill is very dim. Not sure if this is because the stock is more smooth than textured? At any rate McGizmo's are the best so why the heck not? This is the modified section right? Just hoping that with a slightly more textured reflector that it would disperse more light in the spill area. Maybe my thinking is flawed?
