Elinchrom Honeycomb Grid 12° for 18 cm Reflector. This honeycomb grid concentrates the light into a tighter, more controlled beam with a smooth fall-off towards black, while keeping light loss to a minimum. It fits the Elinchrom standard 18 cm (70°) reflector, EL-26080.
Grids are typically made from either plastic or metal. This set is manufactured from metal, ensuring long durability and consistent performance. The Elinchrom 18 cm reflector provides a broad and even 70° light distribution. Thanks to its folded rim, grids and filter holders can be mounted quickly and securely, expanding the creative possibilities of the reflector. By attaching a grid, the light is focused into a defined core that gradually fades outward.
A grid is a highly useful accessory that adds precision, character, and control to your lighting. Common applications include:
- As a hair light: The precise beam makes it easy to illuminate hair or shoulders without unwanted spill.
- As a key light: Light your subject selectively without risking stray light on the background or surrounding elements.
- As a fill light: Subtle details in the scene can be highlighted with great control.
- As background lighting: Create shapes, gradients, or other interesting effects behind your subject.
