This Impact 20″ Beauty Dish Reflector Kit by B&H is comprised of the Impact 20″ Beauty Dish with a deflector, diffusion sock and a honeycomb grid. The kit was put together to provide photographers with a creative means to augment this unique light shaping tool.
The Beauty Dish offers a bridge between a softbox and an umbrella that yields soft but crisp light with snappy contrast and a textural quality that flatters makeup on models and accentuates character in portrait subjects. The secret is a included deflector that bounces the flash’s direct output backwards, filling the shallow dish and casting a wide beam of soft light forward. This reflector renders natural-looking round catchlights in the subject’s eyes rather than square or rectangular ones.
For a bit more control afix the provided grid to the Beauty Dish for increased directionality and spill light management. The grid gathers the light output into a large soft spot that allows you to create intricately lit background details and painterly effects.
Yet another kind of light is available by removing the grid and slipping on the Diffusion Sock. This gives the dish a wider angle of coverage and softer detail while it masks the deflector which might be seen in the catchlights in extreme closeups.
Note: The Beauty Dish requires separate purchase of an adapter for use.
Note:
Beauty Dishes are not recommended for use with continues tungsten lights over 300 watts.

Impact 40° Honeycomb Grid for 20″ Beauty Dish Reflector
The beauty dish reflector is a legendary light shaping tool popularized by fashion and portrait photographers. This Impact 40° Honeycomb Grid for 20″ Beauty Dish Reflector alters the shape and light output of the reflector by tunneling the light forward into a narrower 40° beam. The grid offers slightly increased contrast, directionality and spill light control. It’s an ideal tool for achieving Rembrandt-like lighting effects. The grid is exclusively for an Impact Beauty Dish.
Impact 22″ Diffuser Sock
This 22″ Diffuser Sock from Impact is a 22″ nylon fabric light softener ringed with strong elastic for a snug fit around standard-sized light head reflectors. In addition, it is also ideal for use with 20 and 20.5″ diffusers. This convenient diffuser softens light output by creating a larger light surface across the face of the reflector, bathing your subject in a diffuse light that’s perfect for portrait or beauty photography and video. It installs in seconds, and is a handy way to quickly diffuse a light source, when setting up a softbox or using a handheld diffuser is impractical.
Diffuser Socks are stackable, offering the capability to increase the diffusion effect by adding additional socks over the first. Each layer of diffusion reduces light output by 1-stop. The nylon fabric is heat resistant and won’t yellow or burn from the heat of your flash, studio strobe modeling light, or a cool light source, like LED or fluorescent lights.
Note:
Intended for use on flash heads, LED sources, or fluorescent sources. Do not use on continuous hot light sources like halogen, tungsten, or HMI lamps.
