Asomodai Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Hello all. I bought one of these on the recommendation of Duff. As hes no longer around, I was wondering can someone with one tell me what the measurement of the lens is across the widest part? Mine was shot out on it's first use and didn't notice it until months later. I can get replacement lens, just need to know what sort of size I need! https://www.amazon.co.uk/zeadio-Flashlight-intergrated-Quick-detachable-Picatinny/dp/B01N2W6GYI/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1537656730&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=cree+2+in+1&psc=1 Cheers guys!

Tiercel Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Why don't you just measure the hole..? Best/cheapest option would be a sheet of Polycarb and cut to the size you need. 30 seconds work with a Dremel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure of the exact lens size, I can measure the hole, but the lens would have extended inside the casing otherwise it would have fallen out, but it wont go as far wide as the width of the casing. So I really couldn't get the exact size from just measuring the case or the hole. I don't have the skill, tools or time to do it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asomodai Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 Screw it. I sacrificed a Chinese takeaway box lid and fashioned my own temporary one for now. It has hardly dimmed the torch so should be good for at least a day 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin proffrink Posted September 22, 2018 Root Admin Share Posted September 22, 2018 There are places on eBay that will custom cut circles for you in various thicknesses. I believe in Lexan too if you want to make it extra resistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted September 23, 2018 Supporters Share Posted September 23, 2018 Nice bodge! I would recommend getting a sheet of 2mm polycarbonate though. You don't need power tools (although they help), you can cut it with a hacksaw and a file to neaten it up. All of my torches and sights are now polycarb fronted, it's ace stuff.
