This premium LED Veg light uses a prismatic diffuser
"The diffused borosilicate glass lense scatters the light over the grow area ensuring uniformity (no hot spots) and penetration into the plant canopy. "
This article The Ultimate Lighting Guide for Cannabis Cultivation says "Seedlings, clones, and mother plants can be successful with just 200 to 400 μmol∙m-2∙s-1 PPFD. For plants in the vegetative growth phase of cannabis 400 to 600 μmol∙m-2∙s-1 PPFD can be sufficient" so presumably this light is aimed at seedlings/early veg.
I wonder if anyone uses a diffuse to reduce hot spots and diffuse the light from a COB during veg stage to reduce hot spots.
I have made one from an acrylic prismatic panel which I hang off my cob heatsink for early veg but I am a noob grower
Use of a dimmer switch achieves something different - and I presume people increase light intensity as veg stage progresses.
