andy97 209 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 only bad thing with the flip up filters is you sometimes have to mess about with them to stop the light getting out the sides Quote Link to post

dustyj 63 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Yeah.ive used a homemade swivel filter since they first came out without any issues...i used a 6inch stop end drainage adaptor which fits inside of the rim of the lamp,cut out the whole middle and cut about 5 mill off the outside of the adaptor ti give it a tight fit.you can either spray the adotor black or just use black tape which I do to keep the beam right.once this is done the filter needs two of the prongs cutting of and the remaining prong needs heating up and bending over to which you can use as an up and down swivel.then you screw the filter onto the rim of the adaptor and thats it. Mite sound a bit of fxck on but it works fine for me. Quote Link to post

staffpeg 217 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I just cut 1 ear of the filter nearly off & heat the other 2 up & bend them outover so they act as a little handle to get the filter off Quote Link to post
