Background reflector for Bowens mount strobes

The Glow Edge silver reflector produces an oblong pool of light measuring 8.5 by 12.5 inches. Its elliptical shape eliminates hotspots and creates smooth gradients on backgrounds. The silver interior maximises flash output for crisp, specular highlights. It is designed for photographers and videographers who need controlled, dramatic background illumination.

Check your strobe mount and shooting space

Verify that your strobe or monolight uses a Bowens mount adapter for attachment. Ensure you have enough room to position the conical reflector at the required distance for the desired fall-off effect. The unit weighs 13.9oz and has an 8 inch diameter for transport planning. No other mounting systems are supported by this accessory.

Spring clips and silver finish change the workflow

Two edge spring clips secure gels or diffusion materials directly to the reflector. The silver interior concentrates the beam, increasing output intensity compared to a white or matte surface. This allows for shorter flash durations or lower power settings. The directed fall-off enhances subject separation without extra flags.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and does the Bowens-mount strobe need to be purchased separately?

The box contains the 8.5 x 12.5 in silver reflector with Bowens mount adapter and two edge spring clips; the strobe or monolight itself is not included.

How do I decide between this silver elliptical reflector and a standard round modifier?

Choose this 8.5 x 12.5 in silver elliptical reflector when you need an oblong pool of light with pronounced fall-off for background gradients or dramatic vignettes; a round modifier gives a circular spread instead.

What does the 13.9 oz weight mean for handheld or boom-arm use?

At 13.9 oz the reflector is light enough to mount on a boom arm without heavy counterweights and can be repositioned quickly during location shoots.
