I had a nice pronounced "ring" in the beam of my P1D CE, so I cut a round piece of mild diffusive contact paper (used to line the surface of shelves and drawers) and applied it to the glass lens (yes, I'm calling it a lens, "window" never sounded right to me).
Result: Success! the beam is now very smooth like previous Fenii, but with a little more corona around the main beam, a result I am very pleased with. I always preferred the smoother Q3 style beam to Fenix's focus on a hotter spot with no corona. I may have lost some throw, but it appears not much, the spot is still bright. It is a mild diffuser.
I don't have beamshots yet, and don't want to take the diffuser off yet to do a "before" shot, but I will do that soon.
