they are really easy to make-up yourself nowadays if you fancy it? Get a T-38 torch with a 3 mode 'AS' pill and buy the yukon lens from Microglobe....the yukon lens screws straight in as a replacement for the original (no grinding etc) find the correct focal length on the torch and either tape it in place so it cant move (simple job) or use a grub screw or two for a better look.

Watch with buying the T38 as some do require the threads recut on them to accept the lens.
Have a look at the sun ranger thread on here, Kevgun does the recutting should it need doing.

i used the normal TF-38 and didnt have a problem with any of them,i used grub screws to fix the head in place (as with the original T-20 conversions) no complaints.

Hi guys ,
I'm hoping to build my own sunranger,
I found this Yukon lens in Amazon and was wondering if it's a cheaper version of the one on microglobe ? ,
