Product Description
The Opal Diffusion Single Sheet (80x100cm) is a versatile lighting modifier used by photographers and videographers who want more control over the softness and spread of their light. This diffusion gel helps reduce harsh shadows and creates a more flattering light quality, whether you're working in a studio or on location.
This sheet is ideal for portrait photographers, product shooters, and filmmakers who are looking to soften the output of their LED panels, strobes, or continuous lighting setups. It's also handy for creators using small softboxes or DIY rigs where light shaping makes a noticeable difference.
Lighting setups can sometimes be too harsh - particularly with bare lights or narrow modifiers. That harshness can exaggerate skin texture or create unflattering contrast on your subject. If you've ever had to fix lighting issues in post because of a too-bright setup, this sheet could help you solve it earlier in the process.
By placing this sheet in front of your light source, the light is diffused in a more even and natural way, reducing hotspots and helping create a more consistent lighting environment. It's especially useful when you're after a professional finish but want to keep things portable and simple. The 80x100cm size is manageable and can be cut down to suit smaller lights or frames.

Common Dos and Don'ts
✓ Keep the gel at least 30cm away from hot tungsten lights to prevent melting
✓ Use clips or gaffer tape to secure the sheet properly to prevent light spill
✓ Test your exposure after adding diffusion as it will reduce light output
✓ Store sheets flat or rolled loosely to avoid permanent creases
✓ Cut the sheet to size for smaller modifiers to avoid waste
✗ Don't place diffusion directly against high-heat light sources
✗ Don't leave white light escaping around the edges - it cancels the effect
✗ Don't forget to adjust your camera settings for the light loss
✗ Don't fold the sheet sharply as it can cause permanent damage
✗ Don't use damaged or burnt sheets as they create uneven diffusion
