Since the Diffusers for the G5's were inexpensive and I could not locate any of the 1st gen diffusers, I decided to buy 2 G5 diffusers and see if they would work for the older generation xr30.
Dimesions are good and magnet mount should be an easy add to the Gen3's. Of course the big difference is the fan in the center of the light.
I had thoughts of:
1. Using a thicker magnet or allowing for a gap between the diffuser and the light. What do you think the air flow situation would be? I have 2 XR30's in a canopy so adding a cool air intake to the canopy may be needed?
2. Cutting a round hole in the diffuser to accommodate the fan. There are no LED's in the middle so other than aesthetics, it should be ok.
I am not familiar with the earlier diffusers but would these accomplish what the G4 diffusers do for the G3 or am I wasting my time thinking about it? I have access to a par meter so I could test the results.
Thoughts?
