The aspheric lens came... It would fit on top but it was too close to being in focus so I had 3 little square waffles and some light spill around each one. So I decided to grind the lip off the aspheric so that the lens would drop down into the head. This worked and made the beam out of focus.
Then I had to work out how to hold the lens insie the head... I could have glued it in, but I wanted to be able to remove it so I made up some spacers out of black plastic. So the lens sits in the head, there's a rubber o-ring on the top of the lens, then two plastic spacers on top then the bezel is screwed on. It's average work but the lens is now secure
The light...
My hand isn't that red. I had the camera on auto so for some reason I look red instead of white
This is on my ceiling in daylight. Camera all auto settings and both, the light and camera, in my hands.
My miserable attempt at outdoor beam shots... These were the closest to what it actually looked like. Low is useful in a pitch black room, but not much use outside with ambient light.
