Product Information

Full details

The Profoto Glass for Softlight Reflector is an essential accessory for portrait and product photographers who require consistent, even illumination across their entire light field. By replacing or supplementing the standard metal center disc, this semi-opaque glass disc eliminates the common dark center spot, resulting in a more balanced light output. While it is highly effective for improving light quality, users should handle the glass with care during installation to avoid accidental damage or finger smudges that could affect light distribution.

FAQs

Will this fit any brand of beauty dish?

No, this is specifically engineered for Profoto Softlight Reflectors.

Does this glass disc change the color temperature?

The disc is designed to be neutral and should not significantly impact the color temperature of your light.

Can the glass break if the light gets too hot?

The material is designed for professional studio lighting, but it should be handled gently and allowed to cool after high-intensity use.

Do I need tools to install it?

No, the design is tool-free and utilizes the existing retaining ring on the Softlight Reflector.

How often should I clean the glass?

Clean it whenever you notice dust, smudges, or fingerprints, as these can interfere with even light diffusion.

Troubleshooting

The disc feels loose after installation

Ensure the retaining ring has been fully pushed back into the locked position until you hear or feel a secure click.

Uneven or streaky light output

Check the surface of the glass for fingerprints or dust and wipe it clean with a dry microfiber cloth.

Disc does not fit in the reflector arms

Confirm that you are using a compatible Profoto Softlight Reflector and that the arms are not bent or misaligned.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the disc, ensure your Softlight Reflector is powered off and cool. First, locate the retaining ring on the central arms of the reflector. Slide this ring down to loosen the mounting mechanism. Carefully insert the semi-opaque glass disc into the designated slots or onto the arms, ensuring it is centered. Slide the retaining ring back into its locked position to secure the disc. When maintaining the product, avoid using harsh chemicals on the glass surface. Clean only with a microfiber cloth to prevent scratches and residue buildup, as a clean surface is critical for maintaining the intended diffusion characteristics.
