NANLUX has just released its latest lighting accessories: the BE Mount Diffusion Ball 20cm (MD-DB-BE20) and the FE Mount Diffusion Ball 15cm (MD-DB-FE15). These diffusion balls are designed to take the harsh, focused light from your LED fixtures and turn it into a soft, even glow that spreads across a wide, hemispherical angle. With a beam angle of 180°, they reduce hard shadows and give your subjects a naturally flattering illumination.
Despite their powerful effect, the diffusion balls are compact and lightweight, weighing just 230g for the BE mount and 134g for the FE Mount. Both are IP66-rated, meaning they can handle dust, moisture, and the wear and tear of demanding on-set conditions. The BE Mount works with BE mount fixtures like the Evoke 600C, while the FE Mount fits FE and FM mount fixtures, such as the Evoke 150C. With these diffusion balls, you get professional-quality lighting that’s easy to use, durable, and ready for any shooting environment.
Features of NANLUX BE & FE Mount Diffusion Balls
1. Soft, Even Illumination
The main magic of these diffusion balls is how they spread light. Instead of a hard beam, the light gently wraps around your subject, reducing shadows and hotspots. This makes skin look smoother, objects more detailed, and every scene more visually appealing.
2. Wide Compatibility
These diffusion balls are designed to fit NANLUX LED lights with BE or FE mounts. The easy attachment system makes switching between lights quick and hassle-free. Once attached, the diffusion ball stays securely in place, even during longer shoots.
3. Durable and Reliable
Built to last, both diffusion balls have an IP66 rating. That means they resist dust and moisture, making them suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Whether you’re on a windy location or in a dusty studio, they maintain their shape and light quality.
4. Lightweight and Portable
Despite their sturdy build, the balls are light enough to handle easily. You can move them around, mount them on different lights, or pack them for travel without any struggle. Portability ensures you can take high-quality lighting wherever you need it.
5. Easy to Clean
Keeping the diffusion balls clean is simple. A soft cloth is enough to wipe away dust or fingerprints, ensuring your light stays crisp and soft without effort. No special chemicals or tools are required.
