News from AixiZ on glass lenses-and a change---
a new 3rd choice-
From AixiZ (Houston)
to me (hak)
Need to talk to you for some info that needs to get out on the forum regarding these lenses.
The existing G2 is a 10mm lens. The shiny brass case at that length is causing internal reflections which is degrading the diodes. We have fixed that issue by all our new G2s now have anodized cases to eliminate the reflections in the 10mm case.
We have also shortened the case to 8mm which does not have a reflection issue at that size.
So, the AixiZ G2 options are 10mm anodized or 8mm shiny for the above reasons. I don’t think anyone else has caught this issue out there.

hope this is helpful hk
ps the 'third' choice is the AixiZ 3 element glass lens for 400 to 450 nm- better beam and spot than the AixiZ G2 but slightly less mW.
