Expand your lighting options with the black/silver Outer Shell for Sunbuster 84" Umbrella from Photek. The shell is designed to cover the translucent material on your 84" umbrella. One side of the shell is black to block light that might cause flare or spill, and the other side is silver, which reflects more light than the translucent material and also produces a more contrasty light with specular highlights.
