1)Which optics (NX01 size) produces the nicest (most narrow) beam for a LuxV?
2)Are there any optics for LuxV that have a diameter smaller than 17mm (<0.68inch)?

Here's a shot of a LuxV and a Fraen LP (17mm):

Not pretty, but quite useful outside and not as narrow as with the LuxI and LuxIII :

Sounds like you'd have better luck with an IMS 17mm reflector.

I think i need to get me a luxV and play with making a reflector for it. I just designed a 24mm reflector for a lux3.. i could play with the curve to make a special one for the V.. it would be fun exercise.

Well, smile, the LuxV is quite a challenge to make a good reflector for. Specially with low diameter. For large diameters I think its impossible to beat the carclo 2 degree optics
