Great accessory! August 27, 2009

I bought this to go with my Fenix LD20 Q5 (which is awesome). Pretty straight-forward device. Just fits on snugly, doubles to protect the glass. I use it while camping in lieu of a traditional lantern, and it betters any electric lantern I've used. On the LD's low setting, this is great for reading. On high settings, I can play cards with a group, set up camp, or search a cave with ample ambient light. Totally worth five bucks. Now that I know how useful it is, and the minimal weight-gain, I'd have paid $20. Their price is very honest and this is a GREAT buy.
Fenix Flashlight White Diffuser Wand Review May 13, 2010

I'm an enthusiast about flashlights. I have been checking out stores and actually purchased several different types of battery powered lanterns. There are several things that I look for when considering a flashlight and lanterns. 1) Only those that use AA or AAA batteries are considered. Those two batteries are the cheapest and most readily available batteries. Plus, in an emergency, I do not want to be scrambling for different types of batteries (C, D, 9V, CR123, or any other type of specialized battery). 2) The design has to be shock resistant and waterproof. 3) The longest battery life in proportion to the output. I would like an efficient flashlight. 4) Best combination of durability in ratio to size and weight. I look for the lightest and most compact lights that are durable, which is especially important in headlamps and lanterns. This is a review of the Fenix Flashlight White Diffuser Wand that I use with my Fenix LD20 CREE XR-E Flashlight.
I rated the Fenix LD20 a 5.0 out of 5.0 in a previous review due to being extremely bright, having various brightness settings, a neutral white color temperature, a smooth and even beam, considerable throw, being one of the most efficient flashlights, having a rugged build, all of this in a extremely small design, and using AA batteries. I have also purchased the Fenix Headband for 18-22mm Flashlights, which pairs with the Fenix LD20 perfectly. I have also rated this accessory a 5.0 out of 5.0 as it was the most comfortable headband that I have tried, it is fully adjustable, the design is well thought out and durable, and it allows me to use the Fenix LD20 as a headlamp. Being able to use the Fenix LD20 with the diffuser as a lantern is one thing, but being able to use it hands free as a headlamp is very convenient.
I am extremely pleased with my purchase of the Fenix Flashlight White Diffuser Wand. 1) It allows me to turn the Fenix LD20 into a lantern that is bright, neutral white, that is more efficient than all of the other lanterns that I own, lightweight, compact, durable, and uses only 2 AA batteries. 2) The diffuser appears to be constructed well and is very rugged. It has handled drops very well. 3) It does diffuse light very evenly and it has exceeded my expectations. I was expecting lines and uneven spots, but did not observe any of those things. 4) The fit on the Fenix LD20 is snug and secure. This also exceeded my expectations as did not expect the diffuser to fit so well. 5) The Fenix LD20 with the diffuser makes such an impressive lantern, brighter than any of the electric lanterns out there. On Turbo, the Fenix LD20 with the diffuser will light up rooms. 6) The Fenix LD20 has multiple brightness settings, which makes it more versatile than any of the lanterns out there, which usually only have an off/on or high/low setting. Having a low setting that lasts 70 hours on 2 AA batteries is such an advantage.
One picky thing that may be brought to attention is that the Fenix LD20 does heat up when in use, more so when set on Turbo. The Fenix Diffuser does cover the head of the flashlight snugly, which means that heat will be trapped in the head. I have not experienced problems with this, but it is possible that this may cause overheating problems that have been noted by another reviewer.
Conclusion: Overall, the Fenix Flashlight White Diffuser Wand is another top quality accessory that matches extremely well with the Fenix LD20. Fenix continues to impress and I am very thankful for finding such well-thought, high quality products. I rate the Fenix Flashlight White Diffuser a 5.0 out of 5.0 and I am not able to think of anything that could be done to improve this accessory that turns the LD20 into a great lantern.
Great multipurpose accessory, plus you'll feel like Harry Potter February 11, 2010

I bought this for my Fenix LD 20. I go backpacking and camping, so I've been looking for a solution for not lugging around some giant lantern with me. This combined with the LD20 is *the* solution.
- Diffuses light perfectly
- Still bright even when diffused
- Snugs right onto the top of the flashlight
- Lightweight, easy to carry and seems pretty durable
- Could be used as a position signaling device as well (traffic directing, omni-directional position locating, etc)
When you put it on your light and turn it on you'll feel like you've got a magic wand. With the LD 20 on 180lumens (highest setting) it hurts to look at this thing. With the diffuser off even looking at the LD 20's light cast onto a white wall or carpet is too strong to look at.
good substitute lantern December 2, 2009

My mother-in-law loves this wand for her fenix flashlights as a substitute lantern since her area has frequent black outs. I love it for its versatility and light weight for camping and fixing cars in tight areas.
Works as described, very durable April 22, 2010

I bought the Diffuser wand to go with my Fenix LD20. I mainly bought it because it was cheap, and I was toying with the idea of using it to direct fellow baggers into the grocery cart storage area as they were pushing carts back into the store. Well, I never actually got around to doing this because the boss said that I might scare off customers.
Anyways, the Diffuser wand works as described. It's handy for lighting a large area. Just to name a few examples, I use it when reading books at my desk, since I don't have a desk lamp for some reason... It also came in handy when I got a flat in the middle of the night when I was driving to my dad's house. I set the flashlight on the ground with this little wand on the end, and it lit up my entire workspace so I didn't have to hold it in my mouth to point at the area I was working on. It also came in handy when the lights went out and everyone was nagging at me and wanting me to point my flashlight at the area they were looking, so I just shut them all up and put on the diffuser wand. It lit the entire room very well so no one complained. The wand also seems to be durable. The plastic is much thicker than I thought it would be.
Great product!
