One easy (and fully reversible) flashlight mod: JetBeam PA01 with a patch of self-adhesive translucent (frosted) film, which is attached in the front of the lens.



Beam is now near-perfect hotspot which melts into the surrounding diffuse flood. Great for close-range lighting and easy on the eyes, even in 140lm High mode!

NOTE 1: Digital camera with strong JPEG compression creates odd rings on the photo, that don't exist in reality!



The film itself is from a German manufacturer d-c-fix. It's available over here in various textures, usually at paper stationery and DIY shops. My film has a NS-808 marking on the back.

NOTE 2: If you attach this film directly on the lens, there is no flood effect! I don't know why,...
