Small Size
You can use this for a hair light or as a kicker to brighten up a specific part of your image. It is suitable for use as a backlight, or eyelight when you want to accentuate the eyes of your subject.
Borosilicate Fresnel Lens
The fixture incorporates a 3.1″ temperature-resistant borosilicate Fresnel lens. The Fresnel lens allows the light to be more efficient and provides better control of the light than an open-face fixture.
Hard/Soft Light
The fixture’s lens softens the light emitted by the bulb (bulb not included), enlarging the point-source nature of the bulb’s filament. However, the light emitted by the fixture is still considered hard, just not as harsh in appearance as the light from a bare bulb. You can add diffusion to the fixture to soften the light further, use compatible soft boxes (not included), or bounce the light for a large soft source.
Underslinging
Removing the barndoors allows you to position the yoke above the fixture, so that you can undersling the fixture for alternate mounting possibilities. Remember to replace the barndoors after you have mounted the light.
Barndoor Safety
A spring-loaded safety minimizes the chance that the barndoors (or optional scrims) will fall out of the fixture.
