"Man, do I love this device. As you can see, I managed to find a way of keeping the reflector by bending the led wires and cutting a small notch out of the reflector (see attached jpeg's). It was a bit of a delicate operation and I'm not sure it will have improved the light at all, however it felt good to keep it in. I guess it decreases the reverse glare that Stan mentioned when using the translucent Glacier shield (in the 'finish' jpeg, the reflector is just visible in the shield hood). "
