BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4587 Posts	Posted 10/04/2023 09:21 am Good news bad news - with the switch to LEDs flashlight reflectors are harder to find... most newer lights just have a few LEDs aimed directly out. BUT it's getting harder and harder to convert the old lights to LEDs (I tried and every bulb I tried selling on Amazon for "2" cells was actually "4-6" cells and just gave a dim glow) - that left me a reflector to harvest, but I haven't tried it. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff

My LED Maglite® has a reflector, which is necessary if you know how Maglite® flashlights are supposed to work. Hmmm... I can take mine apart, use the reflector for a photo, then put it back together.

mike31093 Valued Member United States 354 Posts	Posted 10/04/2023 4:34 pm Handheld spotlights still have the concave mirror. Harbor Freight has one for $50 https://www.harborfreight.com/light...t-59224.html I don't mean to disparage Bobby, but... I'm curious what application is this for? I took an edge shot of a quarter and see a ton more detail although I only get a small percentage of the rim. I also wonder about imperfections in the reflector affecting the image.

jbuck Moderator United States 187446 Posts	Posted 10/04/2023 4:45 pm My first thought is for edge lettering, like on the small dollars. Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff

Fake Reales are often given away by the edge symbols and overlap. There are reasons that it can be very convenient to see it all at once. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff
