Unique construction consisting of ten panels instead of the usual eight gives more reflective surface, more perfect circle of light - more flattering catch lights in the subject's eyes
The removable black nylon cover stops all stray and ricochet light, enhancing total light control
With removal of its black cover and a reversal of direction, the SoftLighter II becomes a "softbox" a shoot-through diffuser, providing light that can be used either as a main light source or as a flattering fill
Description
The Photek SoftLighter II 60" Umbrella takes light from your strobe head or monolight, reflects it into its white panels, then softens it again with a diffuser on its way out.This 60" size is perfect for a 1 - 2 person full length portrait or 4x5 ft product setup. It will illuminate 20 sq ft. Note his size does not include the gold and silver discs. For mounting shoe mount flash units to the SoftLighter II a shoe mount light stand/umbrella adapter is necessary. Shoe mount flash units must be set to Manual because the entire flash will be inside the umbrella (unless the flash unit is equipped with a remote sensor). For strobe use only not for use with hot lights or modeling lights over 250 watts.
