It has an extremely focused beam,.....
Tip/hack for the U2 LED Light:
Open the front cover of the lamp
and turn the "crystal" upside down.
(...and totaly remove the round metalic part and the round rubber ,if there is any)
Now close the lamp, you may not be able to close the front cover totaly now,
but that is fine (dont force it!! or you may break something),
you can use some transparent tape to reinforce the closing gap.
Now you have a cool wide angle beam!!
.
That is very useful. I have just realised it's the led I'm considering in a reasonable box. If I ditch the lens for a window it might be my starting point.
If the OP doesn't want to mod his light, I have £10 for it now it has no warranty.
