Product Information
Full details
The Profoto D1 SpillKill Reflector is an essential tool for professional photographers and videographers using the Profoto D1 monolight system who need tighter control over their light output. It excels at minimizing unwanted light spill, particularly when working with umbrellas or glass domes, ensuring your subject is precisely illuminated without distracting flares; however, it is strictly limited to the D1 series and cannot be used with other Profoto light heads.

FAQs
Is this reflector compatible with the Profoto B1 or D2 series?
No, the SpillKill is specifically designed for the mechanical mount of the Profoto D1 monolight series.
Can I use standard color gels with this reflector?
Yes, the reflector features integrated clips designed to hold standard-sized lighting filters and gels securely.
Does this reflector work with the D1 glass domes?
Yes, it is specifically optimized for use with D1 glass domes, helping to control the light output from the bulb.
Will this fit in a standard gear bag?
The reflector adds minimal length to the head, but you should ensure your bag has enough depth to accommodate the added profile of the reflector when attached.
Is the material heat resistant?
It is built for standard studio use with Profoto D1 modeling lights, though you should always follow the manufacturer's wattage guidelines for modeling lamp usage.
Troubleshooting
Reflector is loose or won't lock onto the D1 head.
Check the locking collar on the D1 head for debris and ensure the pins on the reflector are not bent.
Light is still spilling onto the background.
Ensure the reflector is fully seated and that you are not using a glass dome that extends beyond the reflector's aperture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, align the internal pins of the SpillKill Reflector with the front collar of your Profoto D1 monolight (250, 500, or 1000Ws). Twist clockwise until you hear a secure click to lock it in place.
- Compatibility: Exclusively for Profoto D1 monolights.
- Care: Keep the interior surface free of dust and fingerprints to maintain optimal reflectivity. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the surface. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the reflective coating. Always ensure the unit is cool to the touch before mounting or removing the reflector to prevent burns or damage to the locking mechanism.
