I need a new lens for my Z44. I normally run to Fladhlightlens.com, but they're out of stock. So are Oveready, so does anyone know of a UK or European source for these lenses?
Thank you.

Hey there, just searched my parts bin lol, found a lens. Its exact same diameter, but appears to be not as thick as some surefire lens's. Its about 2mm thick, exact diam so will fit. Might simply need O ring at back of to help space, or might fit no problem. Heck it might even actually be a surefire lens.

Yours if you want, just need your addy again and will post off asap for you.

When I've needed a lens in a hurry, I've gone to the auction site and looked for "flat watch lens". All sizes and thicknesses can be found there but obviously they won't be coated.

I found glass lenses from solar force are good replacements and inexpensive. I put in an order for an L2M, which was only $10 (back then) and I had $50 to spend. So I tossed in a pair of round heads, some smooth bezels (both for 3P clones) and a few lenses. Turns out the lens was perfect in an FL2 that arrived without one and without the coating it puts out a smidge more light.
(The FL2 head is same size as the Z44 as PK modeled it from early sketches of the 6P)

Note the resemblance

Has Royal Mail delivered the bits yet? Hope not lost, should have been there. If not will have a look for another and send.

I always fall in the trap of getting a 2nd to beat(use hard) saving the new one for careful use. But then the 2nd ends up too nice/mint/new to beat. So I need a c2 beater(have 6p/z2 beaters) to enjoy and beat up! So enjoy , sometimes it's nice not to dent/ding/scrape a mint light, just carry on from where someone left off.
