    Default Any plans for a Quark diffuser?

    Hi there 4Sevens, I was just wondering if you guys had anything in the works for a diffuser. The Prism kit is nice, but obviously redirects the beam 90 degrees. Can you make something that will just flat out diffuse the beam without adjusting the angle? Thanks!

    I've been using fenix diffuser cones, lampshades, & a diffuser tip on my quarks. I had to modify the cones, but the lampshade & diffuser tip fit OK. It'd be great if 4sevens came out with their own line.

    Does the Fenix Diffuser Lens fit the Quark Heads? It's rated for 20-21.5 mm bezels, but the Quark is a 21.8 mm bezel. It also has a hinge system which I'm not too fond of - I'm more interested in an F04 type diffuser with glass to minimize the loss of transmittance.

    Nope. It's way bigger - almost an inch and a quarter.

    Yes the Fenix Diffuser Lens fits....snug, but it fits. I have the Fenix AD401 Diffuser Lens, but I don't like it. The clamp that goes around the head is clear which allows light to shine back in your face while in use. It would be better if the clamp was black. My favorite attachement is the fenix lamp shade, and the newer more clear cone is a close 2nd. Both are great for camping or for power outages. They are snug on the quarks, but fit.

    Bleh, that's a bummer. Also not glass right, so prone to scratching. I'm looking for something that's going to diffuse the light directionally - not turn it into a lantern, and unfortunately, it doesn't seem like a good substitute is available at the moment. Thanks for the comments!

    If the Fenix diffuser fits on the 4sevens Quark lights, will the red filter adapter also fit? This one: http://www.4sevens.com/product_info....roducts_id=338

    I'm looking for a way to give a red light option to a Quark AA2 Tactical.
