Thanks Fireclaw18, I did what you said. I filed down the back stop of the pill as far as I could, right down to the O-ring, but I didn't have much metal to work with- I could only take off about 1mm. Tried it and it was an improvement but still needed more. So as I didn't have another lens O-ring I made a washer out of thin cardboard and put that behind the lens. Also switched the position of the lens O-ring from in front of the lens to behind it. That's all I can get, any more spacers and the bezel won't catch the thread to screw in. Tried it and it was better again, but still not quite perfect. At least like this I can now see the lines of the LED when shining it against a wall, although the lines are still a bit fuzzy. Before I couldn't see any lines at all. I hope the cardboard spacer doesn't catch on fire with the heat. The other issue is I'm not sure if it has to have an O-ring between the bezel and the lens. The only other thing I could do would be to remove some metal from the stop inside the head, but I don't have the tools to do this. I think I'd need a dremel tool, might have to get one. I can't see why they made it like this, you'd think they'd have a bit of adjustment built in so that you can focus it properly. Even the $25 cheapies from the supermarket focus better than this, and this is meant to be a pretty good light. As it was I picked up fox eyeshine from 300m a few nights ago, not too bad and reflective road signs were showing up from around 600m. Should be even better now. Thanks again.
