design.
The Wafer quickly changes to meet the
differences in lighting style and taste required
by individual photographers and variations in
specific subjects.
Wafer is created to match "your way", to be
as flexible as possible to meet your unique
and changing needs and with 13 shapes and
sizes in the versatile Wafer range - there is
guaranteed to be one to suit.
The Wafer is probably the most innovative light bank on the
market, producing a beautiful quality of light and offering a
degree of control unmatched by similar products.
Its range of shapes and sizes is almost as big as its range of
accessories, making the Wafer suitable for a variety of work in
all disciplines.
Wafer light banks produce a crisp, smooth quality of light
while their narrow profile and silver/white interiors with two
interchangeable graduated inner baffles deliver unparalleled
flexibility and control.
The Wafer design is supplied with two internal Mylar baffles or
screens, each printed with a special pattern to ensure the
light distribution on the front cloth is absolutely even over its
entire surface. These baffles also assist in controlling the
colour temperature: one is white and gives a slightly warm
tone, the other is blue for more neutral tones.
The front cloth of the Wafer is recessed to help control light
spill. The resulting internal edge has a hook-and-loop lining,
allowing an accessory honeycomb to be fitted to the front for
additional directional control.
The Wafer is supplied in a stowage pouch for convenient
portability and includes the flash adapter speed ring.
Brand-specific flash adapter rings are available for every
leading studio lighting system.
Wafers are available as Rectangles, which are by far the most
popular and versatile. Hexagonal Wafers are especially good
for portraiture whilst the Strips, which produce much sharper
cut-off, are popular with fashion photographers.
