simple trick for smother and further throw.

Hi.

Some one probably came up with this before . However it's worth mentioning.

For those that have led flashlights with no reflectors (like Lightwave 2000 or 4000.Where the led's stick out of the head.

Here's a simple trick.

Get a piece of aluminum pipe or abs plastic pipe that fits well (snugly over the led (head) end of the flashlight. Measure and cut either a 1 inch or 1.5 inch piece of the pipe (+ the lenth that fits over the flashlight led's/body. Like putting a smaller pipe (flashlight) into a larger pipe.

After you've cut the proper length . If it's ABS your already done as abs plastic pipe is already somewhat polished.

If you've chose an aluminum pipe then find some nice 800 gritt emery cloth and rub polish & clean out the inside of the aluminum pipe then put it back on the flashlight.

This has a nice way of smoothing out a beam.

This trick will not work with flashlights with reflectors or colimnator lenses.

Enjoy.

That sounds like the inside of my xpg. It has a half an inch spacer and a bubble like lens. Without the lens it puts out a good flood of light. The lens makes a great spot, square though.
