How can I modify my Sofirn SC31T to get rid of this bright ring/halo on the outer edge? (lemmy.world)

One of these TIRs would fit: 10/25/45/60degree TIR LED lens for XML XML2 LED https://a.aliexpress.com/_mN8phOg

With this oring: 21*1.0mm silicone O-ring for the head of S2/S2+/S3/S8 flashlight https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMX7MDw

Thanks! I didn’t actually realise the head could separate from the body above the mode switch and I thought this would be a difficult mod. I’ll experiment with a few different TIR optics, thanks!

Sometimes they glue the bezel on but strap wrenches solve that pretty quickly

Either a TIR optic which makes it more floody, or some DC Fix in front.

I wasn't aware of good dc-fix was! Got some on its way now.

Clic to close the light 😉

Joke aside, what about some d-c fix?
