I recently have bought 3 new flashlights: 1.)Thrunite Archer 2C, 2.)Thrunite TN12, & an 3.)Olight S1 Baton.

I was having trouble finding options for a light diffuser or even a hack for a light diffuser.

Each flashlight is different in diameter. Originally I was able to fit two water bottle caps on the end of the Thrunite TN12. I taped 2 caps together. It didn't look terrible but didn't look great either. Also the caps did not stay securely on unless always upright.

So I came across a product called Go Toob. These are squeezable travel tubes made of silicon for shampoos, conditioners, lotion, etc. Around $15 online for a pack of three.

I purchased one to see if i could get it to fit on the end of one of my flashlights. Needless to say it fit great. The silicon stretches nicely around the head of my flashlights. It's a nice secure fit so I can hold the light even downwards.

Just thought I would share the info. Had been looking around forums & found some hacks on youtube but found these to work nicely.

Thanks, Jake! That is quite clever....been looking for a solution to a bat light. None of the Felix diffusers fit, so I ended up taping one to a section of bike inner tube and stretching it on. I like the look of your idea, though!
