It controls the spill from your ikan led panel, but there is a significant dropoff in output. I haven't measured how many stops of light are lost, but it's fairly significant. However if you don't mind cranking that ISO, then go for it.
So far these light boxes work well, they can be difficult to use if you keep the barn doors attached to the light panel. My advice is to remove the barn doors and use the light boxes this way and it’s much easier to use. They do reduce the output of the panel but if using fast lenses they work well and produce a nice soft light.
