The 8.5HOR 8.5-inch High Output Reflector produces a narrower beam (45°) than our standard 7-inch, 80° wide-angle reflector and it produces about 1 f-stop more light on the subject. This reflector is an excellent choice for general-purpose lighting due to its high efficiency and very smooth feathered pattern.

The reflector fits around the flashtube and modeling lamp on the front faceplate of all standard Paul C. Buff™ flash units and can be used alone for a bright, directed throw, or used together with many of our light modifying accessories. Our 8.5-inch honeycomb grids can be used to tighten the beam spread, fitting into the reflector’s recessed outer lip. The reflector additionally has an umbrella hole for use with various brands of umbrellas and brolly boxes. The 8.5HOR measures 4.5 inches deep and 8.5 inches in diameter.
