The front of the flashlight unscrews from the body, and you can remove the collimator by unthreading the plastic retaining ring behind it, if you want to get the collimator out so you can work on it easier.
Thanks for the tip, I'll have to give that a go. A kind poster offered to send me a flood style lens for this light, which he says gives amazing coverage at the expense of throw. If it does this as well as he says it does (and he's sending me this for free, so it's not like he's trying to scam me) I may just buy a second light for MTB use only, and use this lens on it. 2 of these in the woods, one normal and one with a flood pattern - I'll be riding in near daylight!
