High-Performance Reflector

This 32cm reflector achieves the maximum amount of light output possible for lighting large groups and bouncing light off of high ceilings. The efficient parabolic design delivers a narrow, bright beam of light with intense shadows and high contrast. A must where

sheer power is required. BW1878

Backlite Reflector

With its 20 x 30.5cm (8 x 12”) elliptical shape, this reflector produces an oval pool of light that can be used to create a natural vignette on a background or other areas. Two fitted spring clips allow colour

gels to be fitted. BW2560

A set of colour gels including seven popular colours, a neutral-density filter and two diffusers for

heightened lighting creativity is also available for the Backlite reflector. BW2552

40° Sunlite Reflector

A 43cm (17”) white-painted reflector designed to replicate sunlight for photographing items such as architectural models. The white painted interior of the Sunlite helps to ensure that an even light is delivered. BW1868
