The 43" Pro Premium-Grade Shoot-Through Translucent Umbrella Softbox from FotodioX provide the features of a softbox with the ease of set-up of an umbrella. The uniquely designed reflective umbrella softbox is great for photographers on the go. It is perfect for location shooting. Installation is simple and instant, similar to using a studio umbrella but with all the benefits of a softbox. The umbrella softbox is made with high-quality reflective and diffusive materials for long-lasting use. The dome of the umbrella features a white diffusive nylon to diffuse and soften the light coming from within. The black material across the umbrella opening has a reflective white coating on the interior to help reflect and direct any stray light spill. The opening in the cover where the umbrella shaft passes through also has a drawstring closing to fit almost any sized flash or strobe allowing all light to be trapped and diffused efficiently.

Q: 5. Can this be used as a reflector?

Q: 6. Two questions here. I work in a studio setting with 500 W daylight bulbs. Will this stand the high heat generated by the bulbs? Also, with the light be distributed enough to light an entire person, standing, or objects the size of a car if I use two units?

A: Hi Rebecca. I use profoto D1 and B1 strobes versus continuous light. So, I'm not sure the heat rating of this umbrella. If you're shooting with fluorescent or LED lights, I would guess you'll be ok. If you're using anything that generates a lot of heat, I'd check with the manufacturer for what it can handle regarding heat. As far as coverage, I use this all the time for large groups as my fill light and it works great. You get a lot of diffusion for the price.
