FAQs

What lights is this kit compatible with?

The kit includes three adapter rings, designed to fit various continuous lights and studio flashes. Compatibility depends on the specific diameter of your light fixture's front aperture where the adapter can attach.

Can I use the barn doors and honeycomb grid together?

Yes, you can use the barn doors and the honeycomb grid simultaneously for maximum light control and directionality.

How many color gels are included?

The kit includes four color filter gels: Red, Green, Yellow, and Blue.

Are the color gels replaceable?

While the included gels are durable, they can be replaced if damaged. You can use similar sized gels from other brands if needed.

How do I attach the barn doors to my light?

You first attach one of the included adapter rings to your light, then the barn door assembly mounts onto that adapter ring.

What is the primary benefit of using barn doors?

Barn doors allow you to shape and control the direction and spread of light, preventing it from falling on areas you don't want lit and creating sharper shadow definition.

Can this kit be used with speedlights?

This kit is generally designed for larger continuous lights or studio strobes. Compatibility with speedlights would depend on whether a suitable adapter ring can be fitted.

Troubleshooting

Barn doors do not fit securely.

Ensure you are using the correct adapter ring for your light source and that it is properly attached.

Light spill is still excessive.

Adjust the individual leaves of the barn doors to further restrict light spread. Ensure the honeycomb grid is properly seated if used.

Color gels appear faded or uneven.

Check that the gels are fully inserted into their slots and that the light source is providing consistent output. Clean any dust from the gels.
