Hello,
will it be possible to use Optics and or Reflectors with XP-L that were suited for the XM-L2?
What are your experiences?
Thanks in Advance

Without doubts the Heser Backup Torch is one of the most reliable dive lights there ever was and will be.
Thus it's very popular with technical divers. Of course it's not inexpensive... but you'll never buy a second one... never... unless you need two ;-)
Hi Johan,
I use it with XM-L2 T6 (dunno which bin). Works very well!
However MT-G2 and the brand new XP-L (both on noctigon) are on their way for testing... I always have to fumble around :D
btw Fresnel arrived savely... :-)
The MOST simpliest way is a Fresnel or Aspheric lens in Combination with a normal threaded light like the "turn to switch on"-Backup Lights as a head.
Radial Sealing with two or three O-Rings are bulletproof and well reputated in every common Tecci BackUp-Lamp.
By turning you alter the distance...
Sorry, but night diving with 2000-3000 lm light output is a dullness!
That illuminates half the ocean... I wouldn't want to night dive with someone with that much of light. Almost every fish or other creature that could have been in sight will escape as fast as possible!
Something between 300...
From my experiences I can warmly recommend the 35mm (fits like a MR11 bulb!) Fraen frc-n1-oe2b Reflector for low and mid vis diving. It focusses very tight with the most aesthetical transition to the low spill I ever saw!
Additionally the fraen frc-m1-oe2b (m1!) is a very good medium reflector...
Hello :)
Better buy a light that fits your needs without damaging the warranty.
Upgrade from XM-L to XM-L2 is barely noticeable.
For low vis buy a light with tight focus (<8° half angle!) because then 500-600 real lumens are totally enough and you don't pump your battery life in backscatter...
