This reflector is for exclusive use on Bowens flash heads.

It provides a very wide light spread of 120° from the point of source. This reflector is ideal for use with an umbrella mounted to the flash head. When the reflector is used by itself, the light output has hard shadows, and high contrast.

        Fits well and does what it has to do. Bought this none for the second Bowens Strobe in my studio.

              I returned it because I wasn't sure it could handle a large umbrella. I like Profoto better!

                Works like it's supposed to. Bowens is high quality.I found out on a Thursday that I needed a second umbrella light rather than the softbox I normally use for a Saturday shoot. [...]

                We use these Umbrella Reflectors on our Bowens Gemini 1000pro monolights, they work well and attach firmly to the monolights.

                  I've worked my way through about 6 of these. The plastic component that holds the umbrella is reveted to the reflector and come loose after moderate use. This plastic part has broken on a couple of mine as well. Maybe with a super small and light weight brolly you wouldn't have problems. Not much choice though. I don't know of any alternatives.

                    This reflector is awesome. I only use it with an umbrella but I'm sure there could be other uses for this thing. The inside is chrome so it is highly reflective. I'm considering buying a second one.
