LED Lenser - red filter system required

[AI Perfector]

Hi all, I have an M14 Led Lenser, which has an excellent beam and which I wish to try out for foxing. When buying it, I was told that the manufacturer does not offer any filters; at the time it was not an issue as the torch was for other uses. Has anyone any ideas as to what would be an appropriate material that would reduce fox awareness of the beam and which could be cut to shape and then secured to the objective (External diameter 1.85")? Thanks in advance.

Don't have an answer re the material but there's an article In july issue of shooting sports about a newlamppostg kit for rim fire / air guns using an led lenser P7 and that has filter attachments so that might fit your other torch or they may do other fittings ?? Contact at www.bisley-uk.com and www.ledco.co.uk . I also want to do the same as the lenser's have a brilliant beam for the price so if I find out any more I 'll let u know , cheers Ian

you could always buy a filter for something else and cut it to fit

Thanks, guys, I used some red acetate to good effect (sitting between the lens and the lens housing - cut to shape of interior diameter of the housing.) The particular sample I used was a tad dark so will source and try out more shades. I received suggestions as to where to purchase being :

 

 

"Hobby or lighting stores. e,g Hobbycraft. Maybe a sample pack from a film lighting company. A search for ‘lighting filters’, ‘lighting acetate’ on the web".

Good luck to others following this route.
