Anyone got any ideas on how to convert the snap on filters, ie so they come on and off quick and quietly cheers

they come off easy if you put 2 tabs at the bottom and one at the top then just flick it off thats all i do

Cut off all the tabs and sand the inside edge so its chamfered. Drill a 22mm hole in the centre of the filter. Lastly sand the outside edge of the lamp. This gives you a push fit filter which you can pull off with your finger through the hole, works really well for me. I also black tape the outside of the filter so you don't get so much light escaping back in your face. I think I got the idea off someone on here years ago.

Just sold my 170 and fillter, i now just use the clulite, the filter just pivets out of the way on 1 screw, smoothly and quietly, i couldnt do with fannying about with the fillter on the 170, plus it was a bit too big for my liking.

They certainly didnt put much thought into designing the quite use of the filter system on the lightforce thats for sure, when you look at the head of the lamp it appears the fitting of a filter is an after thought. Clulite got it right.
