This Impact Diffuser Sock is a heat-resistant (*), 11" 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.

Comments about Impact 11" Diffuser Sock:
Does the job it's designed to do, and well. I wouldn't use a high wattage modeling lamp continuously in it's presence though. You could, for long enough to see the lights effect if needed, then remove the bulb. Produces a pleasant soft light. And as always, be aware of spill. Bring a barndoor along. You will most likely need it.

Comments about Impact 11" Diffuser Sock:
I am a fashion/beauty photographer and I shoot with Speedotron brown series equipment. It is extremely hard to find socks that will fit the 11 inch reflector. It worked well, just wish that impact would give just approximately an extra inch so the diffuser would have just a little bit of give.

Comments about Impact 11" Diffuser Sock:
I used to use diffusing sheets and acrylic. This is far superior. It is inexpensive, easy, and folds up to take no space. I use it on inexpensive 10.5" clamp lights from the hardware store.

Comments about Impact 11" Diffuser Sock:
The sock is definitely a useful diffuser for my reflector. I would gladly recommend the product to anyone.
Comments about Impact 11" Diffuser Sock:
This diffuser is especially great with today's new fluorescent bulbs. They run so cool, heat is no problem and the diffuser is a poor man's light control that works great!

Comments about Impact 11" Diffuser Sock:
I purchased the 10" diffuser sock. It does its job diffusing the light adequately, and can sustain the heat produced by the 23w florescent bulb I have in the reflector. However, the bulb touches the diffuser, so I had to tape some cardboard to the reflector to prevent the diffuser from touching the bulb.I would recommend using a larger diffuser and reflector for larger bulbs. I feel like[$] was high for the 10" sock.
