Reflector
Known as the “beauty dish”because it throws directed but soft light, perfect for fashion and soft portrait photography. It offers a 65 ? light spread and is meant to be placed close to the subject in order to produce “character” lighting.
Grid
25 ? honeycomb grid controls the light to a more precise location. Not as tight as a spot light but good for producing highlights.
Diffuser
The diffuser wraps around the reflector to further soften the light, reducing it by 1/3 stop.
