The beam's color temperature is reduced by approximately 500K, providing an overall warmer image and more natural skin tones underwater. Provides 100 degree angle of coverage when used with the Vega and reduced light output by approximately one f-stop.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the M46 Warming Diffuser fit lights other than the Ikelite Vega?
Yes, it is also made for other lights with an M46 (46mm) front thread, not only the Vega Video + Photo Light. Measure your light's front thread diameter before ordering to confirm it matches M46 so the diffuser threads on correctly.
How much light output do I lose with this diffuser installed?
Expect about one f-stop of light loss when the diffuser is threaded on. This light loss comes with the trade-off of a warmer, approximately 500K reduced color temperature and a wider beam spread of about 100 degrees.
What does the diffuser actually change about the beam?
It warms the beam's color temperature by approximately 500K for more natural underwater skin tones and widens the angle of coverage to about 100 degrees when paired with the Vega light, at the cost of roughly one f-stop of output.
What thread size do I need to use this diffuser?
The diffuser requires an M46 (46mm) front thread on the light. It is designed for the Ikelite Vega Video + Photo Light but will fit any other light sharing that same thread size.
