The 20º honeycomb grid for the
OMNI18R OMNI™ 18-inch Reflector takes the reflector’s beam spread down to 20” and can be used directly on the reflector, with or without the reflector’s supplied diffusion sock in place. The grid snaps into the recessed outer lip of the reflector alone or on top of the diffusion sock. When used directly on the OMNI™ reflector, the grid and reflector are ideal for high output, Hollywood-style selective lighting with superior spill control and isolation. For close-in mood lighting, place the grid over the triple layer diffuser to further reduce the output and achieve high fall-off, high contrast low key lighting effects. The grid reduces the light output another 2/3f stop, allowing even closer placement at wide-open apertures without the “dark center” that is typical with beauty dishes.
At ten feet, the expected output of the OMNI18R with the grid is f8+3/10 (ISO 100, 640 Ws) with the reflector’s diffuser in place. Without the diffuser, the expected output at 10 feet with the grid is f22+6/10 (ISO 100, 640 Ws).
The grid snaps directly into the recessed outer lip on the reflector. When mounting the grid, leaving the tab (with the beam width size label) sticking out allows you to use the tab to pull the grid out of the reflector when you are ready to remove it.

*** with the 11HG30 in the 11LTR reflector, the grid maintains the same beam spread, but eliminates light spill outside of the 28º pattern
Our OMNI™ honeycomb grid is designed for use with the
OMNI18R OMNI™ 18-inch Reflector, used with or without the reflector's included diffusion sock (placed over the sock with used together). It may not be used with any other reflector.
