Does this have a diffuser? Since you can see the individual LED bulbs, I assume this is a hard light.
Asked by: Sam
The Zhiyun FIVERAY M40 Pocket LED Light does have a frost like defusion cover built into the light, so even though you can see the LEDs, you may also notice that they are not perfectly visible as the diffusion cover does soften them up some. There is no other difusion included with the Zhiyun FIVERAY M40 Pocket LED Light.
