I ordered this, now I have second thoughts about it. Does anyone else have this for their Surefire? Did I waste my money?



My main concern was to provide secondary protection to flashlight lens window


Beamshaper for flashlights with 1.62" diameter bezel

The FM14 Beamshaper converts the focused high-output beam of a SureFire flashlight to a softly diffused wide-angle beam for closer range, non-tactical applications. Applying thumb pressure to the locking tab releases the cover; a spring mechanism keeps the open cover out of the way by holding it flat against the flashlight. A cam-locking lever keeps the entire unit securely attached to the flashlight.

It's actually an excellent addition, especially for indoor applications.  The beamshapers help diffuse the intense hotspot and work well to reduce the blinding reflections from glass & white walls.  They also work well on LED heads such as the KL1 & KL3 by broadening the beam.



Good point, thanks..................

How does the beamshaper works mechanically?

 I just bought a Surefire M96 series that hasn't even come in the mail yet.  I figured 125 lumens will be too bright for indoors, but I wanted one that I could use inside and out, so I took it.  This lense cover will probably be something I'll need.

Actually, the 125 is perfect for indoors.

 Yes, I see that now.  Doesn't seem that much brighter than my 60 lumen Surefire.  I guess it is better for the 225 lumens.

Never too bright for indoors as long as it's not "Your Eyes" that see the "White Light" befor hearing the "Bang".
