Are the wings removable?
Yes, each wing can be easily removed from the base plate, allowing for more customized light shaping.
Do these barn doors affect the light output significantly?
They control light spill, which can indirectly affect the perceived light output in certain areas of your scene by preventing unwanted light from reaching them. The light reaching the intended area is not significantly reduced.
How do I clean the barn doors?
Wipe them gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners to protect the finish.
Troubleshooting
Barn doors are loose on the reflector.
Ensure the tension spring is properly engaged and providing adequate grip. Check for any obstructions preventing a secure fit.
Light spill is not fully controlled.
Adjust the angle of the barn doors and the individual wings. Ensure all wings are correctly positioned and attached if removed.
Filters do not fit securely.
Verify that the filters are square and have a side length of 17.6cm. Ensure the clamps are clean and free of debris for a proper grip.
