This Impact Diffuser Sock is a heat-resistant (*), 22" nylon fabric light softener ringed with strong elastic for a snug fit around metal strobe head reflectors. The diffuser softens the light output and reduces it by 1 stop.

Diffuser Socks are stackable, offering the opportunity to increase the diffusion effect while reducing the light output. Additionally, gel filters, cut to size, can be placed between stacked Diffuser Socks for creative applications.

Note! (*)Intended for use on flash heads or fluorescent sources. Do not use on continuous hot light sources.

Diffuses and softens the light output by 1 stop

                    Comments about Impact 22" Diffuser Sock:

                    Works fine but restricts air movement too much causing the strobe head to run hot and shut down.

                        Much nicer than the diffuser that comes with the reflector. This does take 3 hands to put on the reflector.

                        I use this with the Hensel Beauty Dish and have been very pleased with the result.Provides a really nice soft glow to my portraits. I have not tried the Hensel product so I cannot compare.So to be safe, I am giving it 4 instead of 5 stars.
