Product Information
Full details
The Elinchrom Shower Cap Diffuser is an essential tool for professional studio photographers who utilize the 44cm Softlite Reflector and require a softer, more diffused light quality. By acting as a fabric modifier, it effectively turns a standard beauty dish into a round softbox to eliminate harsh shadows and provide even illumination, though it is exclusively sized for the 44cm reflector model.

FAQs
Can this be used on a different brand of reflector?
This accessory is specifically designed for the Elinchrom 44cm Softlite Reflector and may not fit securely or perform correctly on other brands.
Will this diffuser get damaged by my studio flash?
The material is designed to handle the light output of standard studio flash systems, but you should avoid placing the flash too close to the fabric if it is a hot-running continuous light.
Does it change the color of the light?
The material is engineered to be color-neutral, meaning it will not introduce unwanted color casts to your photographs.
Is the fabric machine washable?
It is recommended to hand-wash the diffuser gently to maintain the integrity of the elastic and the fabric weave.
Can I fold it for travel?
Yes, one of the primary benefits is its ability to be folded or rolled into a small footprint for easy transport in your gear bag.
Troubleshooting
The diffuser feels loose or sags
Ensure the elastic band is seated firmly behind the lip of the reflector and that the fabric is pulled evenly across the entire surface.
Light looks uneven
Check that the diffuser is centered correctly and that no creases or folds in the fabric are obstructing the light output.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, place the elastic edge of the diffuser against the perimeter of your 44cm Softlite Reflector and pull the fabric evenly around the rim until fully seated. This accessory is exclusively compatible with Elinchrom 44cm Softlite Reflectors. To care for the diffuser, keep it in a protective bag when not in use to avoid staining. If it becomes soiled, gently hand-wash the fabric with mild detergent and cold water, then air dry completely before attempting to stretch it back onto the reflector to prevent mold or fabric deformation.
