    Default Will Quark have Diffuser Tip ?

    Like to have it for camping. Will 4sevens add it in this year? I have not seen it on website. Or anyone can show me how to DIY one for my Quark? Thanks.

    I've been wondering this myself. For what it's worth, Fenix's camping lampshade should fit the Quarks, but I'd love to see a brilliant 4Sevens designed diffuser.

    The Quark prism includes a diffuser filter. I like the prism with the diffuser very much and use it a lot around the house and for reading. The headband which comes with the prism is a piece of junk. The loops are so tight that it is a PITA to fix a Quark to them.

    I have the Fenix camping lampshade as well and it fits the Quark heads very nicely. So I assume that all accessories for the Fenix LD20 should fit the Quarks as well, including diffusors. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    I have the Fenix Camping Diffuser on my Q123 as well but it's meant to tail stand and act as a lamp. If you want a diffuser that keeps the light going straight out the front as apposed to the Fenix Diffuser then you should look for another option. Fenix also has a white diffuser tip that essentially fits the same lights as the Camping diffuser. Looks like it might fit a Quark and 4Sevens sells it. I agree with defloyd that 4Sevens should come out with their own design. I bet it would rock like their lights.

    The cheapest way to add a diffuser to a Quark is by putting a plastic pill bottle on the bezel, like so:

    I tried it today, very good, besides, I take apart the quark head when I twisted to stuff the head into the bottle neck with turbo on. Guess the heat and twist really worked. I am so happy that I can take it apart as I can change emitter or work on something else.

    I've seen an even cheaper option; the cut off finger of a latex glove.
    works well for me...

    The Fenix AD101 diffuser cone tip for the small PD30 size lights fit the Quark with a slight modification. A file and 5 minutes of filing will make it fit. The Quark is slightly larger in diameter than the Fenix.

    And another free lantern/diffuser, and 90-degree reflector, option that carries in a wallet.

    reppans,

    What kind of "paper" is that? That's a neat idea...

    It's just a business card. On one half is piece of aluminum foil tape for reflector duty. On the back is a piece of clear packing tape to give it more integrity and to hold two twisty ties to it - they allow you set the angle better.

    I wish they would make one. But in the meantime I took the diffuser tip from my Fenix light and sanded it out so it fit my quark. And it still fits the fenix.

    I believe I use this from Fenix. It fits very nicely into the groove on standard Quarks at the head and can flip away nicely if diffusion is not required. Not optimal, being plastic, but it sure beats other market solutions I've seen and does work well for me FWIW. Hope this helps.
