With a heat-resistant construction and 34" diameter, the Para 88HR Reflector from Broncolor allows users to produce precise, efficient lighting using strobe or tungsten fixtures up to 2000W. The reflector's parabolic shape and silver interior yield very high light efficiency, wrapping the subject in brilliant light that emphasizes detail and due to the parabolic form of the reflector, light fall-off only occurs at the Para's extreme edge. This listing is for the reflector only. A focusing tube and a focusing device are required for use.

Known for its quality of light, the Para 88HR can be used as a powerful spot or a soft light with diffusers or honeycomb grids, for continuous lighting, or flash operation.

The most important light design parameter of the ParaHD is the ability to position the lamp head within the reflector to focus or defocus the light source. When in focus, the light is strongly aligned and has a spot-like character with high contrast. To defocus a Para, the light source is moved towards the opening of the reflector producing a soft "cloud" of light with wrap-around qualities but with still enough edge to emphasize the structure of objects and details of skin and makeup.

What differentiates the ParaHD from other large reflectors is that the light radiates frontally from the optical axis giving objects a sculptural, three-dimensional appearance.

Q: 1. Is the Siros 800L too heavy to be used in the fullt de-fcoused position with this kit?

A: The Siros 800L can be used in the defocused position without diffusion, but we recommend use of a heavier duty stand and proper sandbags for counterweight. When using the accessory diffusion with Para 133, there is a limitation of how far the unit can be defocused due to the physical size to be aware of.
