Need help finding XPG/XPG2 optic

ShineOnYouCrazyDiamond · Nov 4, 2012

I am looking for a plastic lens based optic for a light mod. It needs to be 18mm and work well for a tighter more throw type of beam with a XPG / XPG2. I've seen a few of the Carlco optics but they seem to be designed mostly for 3up designs. I've seen a few singles but they were marked for 22mm diameter.

Any help pointing me to a few sites with some options to look through would be great.

Have you already looked for Ledil "Tina" optics?
They are 16.1mm, however.

Maybe you can get them at digikey...

Apart from that there are also a few 16mm ones from Gaggione:

Thank you for that link Ledil has some nice stuff. I did find this optic http://www.ledil.fi/node/2/p/83 which might work with some trimming.

SOYCD, That link you have is not an optic, it's a reflector.

After checking that site, the closest I could find in XPE/XPG/XPG2 optics is either 21.6 mm or the 16.1 mm diameter mentioned earlier.

Yes - I realize that. For the light I am modding I can use either a reflector or an optic. I just thought an optic may do the job better because I was having a hard time finding any reflectors.

I am also open to information on 18mm reflectors. I don't want to limit myself if there are options out there. I'll try to get a measurement of the acceptable depth.

Sorry for that, I assumed you were specifically after optics.
I've been keen on optics for the 219/XPG and haven't come across any in the 18mm size.

Here is a good thread on reflector/optics for the XPG:

There is mention in the thread that the seoul reflectors working well with XPG including the McR18S reflector.

EDIT: These McR18S reflectors are sold at The Sandwich Shoppe

No apologies needed - I really appreciate the input.

I've tried the McR18s and the McR18 in my application (which is a TCR1 with a XP-G2) and although the beams are nice I am looking for more throw. I'd really like to find something like the reflector in the V10R XP-G which has a really nice punchy throw beam. Although I haven't tried to fit it, I am pretty sure the V10R reflector is a bit too deep to fit the TCR1 without some trimming.

I will measure my Jet-I Pro's reflector tomorrow and let you know if it's the right diameter. If so, B.O.G. still sells replacement reflectors for the Jet-I/RRT-0 that may help you out. I haven't tried an XP-G behind said reflectors, though.

Edit:
Bad news, Jet-I reflector measures 20mm wide and 16mm deep. Close, but no banana.
