I have a Fenix LD20 (lost my beloved olive L2D) and 4Sevens Quark AA. I use these for backpacking, with the Quark on my hat bill and the Fenix as an area lantern.

Recently I lost both my diffuser tip (looked like a wand) and the small folding one started to break. I contemplated using a piece of paper rolled into a tube to diffuse light, but that seemed fragile.

Then I had an epiphany. Use the clear flat cap of an ordinary water bottle. You can even make it snug with an o-ring inside, but I just set it on since the light is tail standing.

It works marvelously. Try it. :thumbsup:

Cheers!

Welcome to CPF, Michael. Lots of ordinary household items can make good diffusers. Also, if you park your light on top of opaque plastic bottles you've got a nice lantern.
