Elinchrom Reflector 18 cm with Grid. Set with Reflector and a 30° grid. A honeycomb grid produces sharper shadows and limits the spread of light. The light is collected to a point with a smooth transition to black and with a minimum of light loss. Grids are very useful for the creative photographer. They can e.g. highlight details in the subject or create nice effects on the background. Here is an example where only a light source with grids is used.
