Product Information
Full details
The Profoto PowerBeam Reflector is an essential light-shaping tool for professional photographers and videographers using Profoto flat-front 100mm lights who need to punch light over long distances or achieve a high-contrast, dramatic look. By focusing light into a tight 20° beam, it provides a significant 3.5-stop boost in output, though its highly directional nature requires precise aiming and may not be suitable for broad, soft-fill lighting applications.

FAQs
Can I use the PowerBeam on my Profoto head with a glass dome?
The PowerBeam is specifically designed for flat-front 100mm lights; it may not perform as intended with glass domes, which change the light's focal point.
Does this reflector include any grids?
No, the reflector is compatible with 337mm grids, but they must be purchased separately.
How much output increase does this provide?
The PowerBeam increases your effective light output by approximately 3.5 stops compared to standard reflectors.
Is the carry case weather-resistant?
The case is designed for durable protection during transport and storage, though it is not rated as waterproof.
What is the beam angle of this reflector?
The PowerBeam produces a tight, focused 20° beam angle.
Troubleshooting
Reflector feels loose on the light head
Check the mounting collar on your flash head to ensure it is clean and the pins are fully retracting during attachment.
Light spill is wider than expected
Verify that the reflector is seated correctly on the flat-front head and consider adding a 337mm grid to further narrow the beam.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, align the Profoto PowerBeam with the locking mechanism on your 100mm flat-front flash head and rotate until it clicks securely into place. Ensure the locking collar is fully engaged before mounting. When using additional accessories like barndoors or grids, slide them carefully into the front track of the reflector. To maintain the internal coating, avoid touching the interior surface with bare fingers, as oils can cause hot spots or damage the finish over time. Always store the reflector in the included carry case when not in use to prevent dents or surface scratches.
