Wide angle lens for little CREE LED?

    I need a wide angle lens for my shiny new fleabay front light.

    Trouble is ...

    the wide angle lenses I have seen people trying to sell are all for 39 mm Magicshine lenses. My little light is a cheapo imitation of a cheapo imitation Magicshine, and the lens is only about 33 mm in diameter.

    Anybody have any idea where I can get one that fits? Or what I could use instead and where I might get that? I was tempted to ask my opthalmologist if she could spare any sticky fresnel prisms plastic when I saw her last week, but she seemed a bit cranky (it was just before lunchtime, and she'd probably spent the morning dealing with cross-eyed people) and my courage deserted me. So I'm stuck and hoping someone on here can suggest a solution.

    I'm otherwise very happy with the little monster. The "wrong" (small-ish) size means it makes a handy enough head torch for jogging when it's not sitting on my bars. The Cree LED gives out enough light for my purposes, and for long enough for me to get home from anywhere I might be daft enough to go on a winter night.
