adamskiseal Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Now this might be a stupid question....... I have a LED Lenser X7R, I was wondering if I could put some red gel (lighting gel, coloured film) over the end and take it out lamping? Or does it need to be a special filter, to my knowledge led lender don't do any filters for the X7r Cheers Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Anything that covers the glass will reduce the output. By how much, depends on how dark the material will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salop Matt Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 As said above, it works but will really ccut down the beam range. Its just better all round to just get a coloured CREE light purpose built, you can go as cheap or as expensive as you like !
