So my cheap lasermax has so much bloom I can't get it sighted in.  It just washes out everything in a 3 foot circle with a dot.  I get in close so I am going to have to attach whatever is used at least semi permanent.  I have heard of film, any other options and how to attach it.   This is for pigs if that helps

One option- UNI-IR anti-bloom modification.

Another option- send the unit and $35 to I^2- I Squared NV to get the lens swapped out to permanently  fix the bloom.  Option 2

Oh, and be sure to clean the lens with those little high-tech Q-tips and make sure it's not dusty.  3 feet sounds a lot bigger than my bloom.

this first idea is rather interesting.

I may try that with my crimson trace rail master and the film from a floppy disk.

Turn down the gain and use a IR light on the target at the same time

Both the lasermax and the railmaster bloom wayyyy too much for what they are used for. I suggest buying a $20 neutral density filter and glueing/jb welding it to the front.

That's a nice home brew filter you made. I just ordered a sheet of graduated density filter material to make a sliding, adjustable filter pretty much following your design.
Sometimes I want a very dim, precise dot, and sometimes I want more dot brightness. Maybe I'll get whatever I want.
