Can you order a separate diffuser? :confused:

Yes,

See page 13 of this thread for a screenshot of the eBay item jazloc purchased. Or do an eBay search for a wide angle lens for magicshine....

The wide angle lens is good for spreading the beam on unlit roads and the Hope mount was perfect (although I needed to use a longer screw) and it holds the light very very steady while my o ring light slips around like my handlebars are coated in grease.

Here's my lights for those who are interested, the left light has a wide angle lens and the right has the standard lens.

You could probably land a plane with those lights now

The standard lens on the t6 with smooth reflectors is quite spotty, but it throws a long way, but you lose close up spread. Putting a diffuser on spreads the light. Having one spot and one diffused gives a really good throw.

That said, a magicshine T6 diffused a 3xT6 unit throws out stupid amounts of light, off road only.

Have always been put off by lights that use a separate power pack but these looked really goodpower and quality for the price....

I bought a couple of these lights also from here that arrived today - seem really good will try them on the way home tonight..

Anyone recommend a better battery pack setup - waterproof case? Y-Splitter for one battery and two lights?

anyone know if its possible to get a lead to charge an iphone from one of these batteries in an emergency?

Went out the other day with 2x batteries for the cree and a Pebble charger - would have been nice to not have to have taken the pebble?
