figtozaur · Nov 24, 2013

Hi! i am looking all around the internet, but i can't find a filter at 50mm diameter. I have great thrower Nitecore MT40 i bought for hunting and need a lot green and red filters, but Nitecore produce only 34mm or 60mm

. Sorry for mistakes. (my native language is latvian)

Re: Nitecore MT40 colour lens problem

Make a ring with a lathe from black Delrin that fits the inner side of the 60mm filter and the outside of the flashlight.

What is black delrin? google translate do not accept this kind of material. But why there are no such diameter filters?

What about some kind of camera filter? May need modding though?

Something like this?

Or buy some green transparent plastic and cut to size then put a rubber boot on it or something.

You can even buy 50mm green transparent circles which would work as a filter, if you could mount them somehow.

No, i was thinking about somthing like that http://www.lighthound.com/Fenix-Red-Filter-for-TK-models--TK11-TK12-and-TK15_p_2989.html
only size must be 50 mm, and not very expensive.
Transparent plastic is not a variant, because the head is getting pretty hot when flashlight is on

Buy some lighting gel filters, place it over the lens.

I think you can get a green filter for a Mag. Those are 52.1mm in diameter, which is pretty close to two inches. The worst you would need to do is file the edges down a little to make it fit. And I'm not sure you would even need to do that.

+1 on what Flashkat wrote about gels, a way to do this: http://www.diyphotography.net/gel-caps-diy-light-painting-gels-for-your-flashlight .
Also, Dereelight have a DBS (48mm) green filter but it may not fit the MT40, perhaps ask them about it?

Where i can find Mag. filters?? Google didn't show them. 52.1mm would be ok for me, thanks.

Here is one source for this lens:

For whatever reason, it is rather pricey. At least for what it is.
