Diffusers, gimmicks or useful?

My Thrunite T10s came with nice diffusers. I've honestly not had the need to use them but in "trying" them out they work great. I've used lip balm tops as diffusers for my AAA light very effectively. I've also used the top of a menthol inhaler as well.

I sell parking spaces for a charity, and have used diffusers at night to direct traffic. But a true traffic wand is better. Diffusers do the trick though. [I use Streamlight Stinger LEDs with traffic wands, btw.]

I've just tried your lip balm lid idea and it works great

Thats great, I like to reuse what I can. I used to paracord to keep the "diffuser" with the light. I've since changed that set up.
