I have just received a Nicore diffuser filter, 60mm. They also do a range of colour filters. All are available from outlets such as Amazon, price about £8

The filters are not restricted to the somewhat pricey Nitecore range of torches but will fit El Cheapos such as the one in the photograph. I originally bought this of eBay for £20 and fitted a better driver and waterproof switch, Reviewed elsewhere.

All I can say about it is that it works and is a useful photographic aid. Unfortunately, its falls off my Scorpion lamp although same 60mm diameter, however I supply dedicated filters at same price.

I have been down into the Talybont deep adit today, firstly to inspect the access shaft ladders etc, all OK, and also to bring a skip out to redeploy in Wilkins where I am digging out the oil drum.

I took the opportunity to try out some of the new kit while I was down there. The Fujifilm XP120 dive camera, a mini tripod that fits into the pocket but extends to about 4 feet, and the diffusers.
Torch as in the photo above for fill in light, and the Scorpion X12 with diffuser fitted.
The camera only does automatic, so I set to program mode, turn off the flash, and set sensitivity to ASA 100. Below is the result.

I recon it looks good. I also want to experiment with making a diffuser for the Imolent DX80 as I recon I can set the thing on a rock and snap away with the camera.

One thing that's coming out of all this is that you no longer need a caplamp with bare emitters, diffusers work just as well and can be snapped on and off at will.

So there we are, old dog, new tricks.

I've got an aged Petzl Tikka with a slide across diffuser. A bit low powered by today's standards.:lol:
