Product Information

Full details

The Profoto Diffuser for Softlight Reflector is an essential modifier for portrait and commercial photographers who utilize the Profoto Softlight Reflector (Beauty Dish) and require a softer, more diffused light quality. It is designed to take the punchy, high-contrast output of the reflector and soften the shadows for a more flattering, even illumination, though it will naturally reduce the overall light intensity compared to using the reflector bare.

FAQs

Does this diffuser fit both the White and Silver versions?

Yes, this diffuser is designed to be compatible with both the White and Silver Profoto Softlight Reflectors.

How much light intensity will I lose?

Using a diffuser will result in a reduction of light output, typically ranging between 0.5 to 1.5 stops depending on your specific lighting setup.

Can I use this outdoors?

Yes, you can use it outdoors, but keep in mind that the fabric surface can act like a sail in high winds, so ensure your light stand is properly weighted.

Is the material heat-resistant?

Yes, the diffuser is made from heat-resistant materials designed to withstand the heat generated by professional studio strobe lamps.

Does it change the color temperature of the light?

The diffuser is designed to be neutral and should have a negligible effect on the color temperature of your Profoto light.

Troubleshooting

Diffuser appears loose or baggy on the reflector

Ensure the elastic or mounting rim is fully seated into the groove or over the lip of the reflector edge.

Noticeable shadow fall-off is inconsistent

Check that the diffuser is centered and that no part of the fabric is folded or bunched up on one side.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Significantly softens the light output for flattering portraits
Easy to attach and remove during fast-paced shoots
Compatible with both White and Silver versions of the Softlight Reflector
Helps transition light smoothly for more natural shadow falloff

Cons

Reduces total light output intensity (f-stop loss)
Increases the size of the modifier setup, making it slightly bulkier to transport
Not compatible with other Profoto reflector shapes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the diffuser, simply stretch the elastic or locking edge of the fabric over the perimeter of your Softlight Reflector until it is seated firmly. Ensure the material is taut to prevent uneven diffusion patterns. This accessory is compatible with both the White and Silver Profoto Softlight Reflectors. To care for the diffuser, keep it clean by gently dusting it or using a soft, dry cloth. If the fabric becomes soiled, consult Profoto's guidelines for surface cleaning. Always store it in a cool, dry place and ensure it is not crushed under heavy equipment to prevent permanent creases or deformation of the material structure.
