I've found a site that carries 2 variations of diffusion lenses.

still looking for a diverging lens like this one:
http://www.luxeonstar.com/fraen-wide...leds-p-346.php
http://www.luxeonstar.com/fraen-elli...leds-p-307.php

but I'm not sure if that will fit in the ultrafire. the diameter seems to match up decently, but not sure of the depth, room or LED type, other than 'K2' and red K2 will get 40 degree viewing angles.
btw, these won't fit, unless you remove the reflector, which seems to be soldered to the entire head piece.

your best bet is to just take some 600grit sand paper and frost the lens to make the light coming out less harsh to those directly behind you.

and it has somewhere around a 60 degree viewing angle for the centre spot where you can actually see that it's bright and 160 degrees for spill where you'll see it's red, but not very bright.
