The High-Output Beauty Dish Reflector is designed to project a narrow 45° beam angle, with about six times the efficiency of a white dish. This allows for lighting subjects from greater distances with low power flash units, and allows using the reflector with or without the included direct-light blocker.
Attaching the included diffusion sock converts the High-Output Beauty Dish Reflector into the equivalent of a round softbox with very even coverage and outstanding evenness across the face of the diffusion fabric. This widens the angle of coverage to about 150° and lowers the output by about 1 1/2 f-stops. It also minimizes the specularity and results in approximately the same photographic result as a conventional white beauty dish with diffusion sock.
Also included, the 22-inch 40° honeycomb grid is built specially for the 22-inch beauty dish. This honeycomb grid will snap directly into the outer lip of the 22R beauty dish. The grid will narrow the beam spread of light from 160 degree to 40 degree for more dramatic lighting effects.
Rental includes dish, direct-light blocker, honeycomb grid, diffuser. Works with AlienBees and WhiteLightning flash units.
