I'm not sure the intended applicqqtion for this.  The beam is so well focussed that it just lights a small area where you are looking.  Nice reflector and LED mount though.  The unti contains an 18650 lithium cell and comes with a charger that will happily charge it up to about 4.5V which isn't ideal for cell longevity and stability.

Super-narrow beam LED head torch teardown.

I'm not sure what the intended purpose of this light is, but the beam is extremely narrow, to the point that it just highlights a dot in the distance. It's optically very impressive, but not suited for use as a working light or really even as a bicycle light as the packaging implies.

So nice you can zoom as easy as you do now.

Hi Clive would you get more of a flood if you removed the silver from part or whole reflector ruffed it up with fine scotchbright or toothpaste. Or maybe add an opaque jell over lens even tracing paper? Just a thought keep up the great videos cheers Pete.

Diffusion would work, but it almost seems a shame to spoil such mass-produced optical perfection.

It would make for a high-tech replacement of a doctor's head mirror except for the possibility of your head bursting into flames from an over-charged battery.
