Very happy -- more pros than cons

Pros: Really does wrap the subject in ambient light Creates a great highlight even when the subject has huge false lashes that block out the key light As a set piece, it creates a great tone for non-models stepping up take a headshot Cons: Creates a giant highlight on the subject's neck sometimes--polo shirt collars were casting shadows on top of the giant highlight Be ready with a short stand so there is enough distance from the subject

Goes up quick and comes with a carrying bag

Comes with a decent carrying bag and assembles quickly once you've done a couple times.

Not what I was hoping for.

Mounted on a standard light stand, was much too high. They need to furnish a stand that puts it about 18-20 inches off of the floor. Definite buyer's remorse

?Same as it ever was? but cheaper

Does exactly what I expected and it is intended for, once set up I just hang it up since it does take a bit of time but I just use it i the studio so no big deal.

A hard to put together but great results

with so many pieces and with it being so big, id like to make it and leave it assembled. You are not going to want to make this everyday. Hard to use outside. Great product but more pieces than the original eyelighter from westcott

Nice Results, But Not So Easy

There is a lot of effort to make this easy looking device work, but the results can be worth it. First, it is hard to assemble because the cloth for the curve is sewn to very close tolerances. If you plan to assemble this reflector on site, allow yourself plenty of extra time. One key fact that is not mentioned in the instructions, as well as in the instructions for some other similar devices, is that the white cloth reflector does not yield a very noticeable eye highlight. I had to look carefully for it in the enlarged iris of the eye. This characteristic may be good or bad, because the white fabric produces very even lighting but fairly low contrast -- compared to the silver cloth -- which leaves a more noticeable eye highlight. I haven't tried the gold fabric, but my guess is it will be similar to the silver fabric, only with gold highlights. With this device, one gets very even lighting all around the face, which may or may not be to your liking or purpose. Perhaps you are looking for different or classic lighting ratios across the face by using multiple lights at different powers or distances, as well as reflectors. I found that to place the highlight around the bottom of the iris of the eye, the reflector needed to be located very close to the face, much closer than the three feet or so recommended. (I was using a 56" diameter round fabric beauty dish angled high and close over the subject.) This device will see important, but limited use by me. It is too bad state DMV's won't start using them for driver's license photos for the wonderful even lighting all around the face, instead to the flat, ill-tempered photos they produce now.

Easy reflector.

Great catch lights. I use it with my Savage C-stand. It?s a little tight, because the reflector is so big, but works. Using it with a nano stand might be better.

It's big. It would be ok in a studio if you have the room.

This thing is huge. It looks like it would do a good job but I didn't even try it. I returned it because it's so big and it took a while to assemble because they use zippers to change the reflector materials. Velcro would have been better,

Great tool at an amazing price!!

Wow! Three things impress me about this reflector: 1) The build quality is exceptional. It is a solid piece of equipment and I actually can?t imagine it being more sturdy without being insanely heavy. 2) The size is substantially larger than expected and produces amazing catchlights when you position your key light correctly. 3) The price makes me laugh when I think of the price of other brands. There is one thing that I find to be a negative?and it is a negative only for those doing location portraits: It is a pain to disassemble. Not like a 30 min pain?but definitely a commitment: I just leave mine assembled and it fits snugly on the back seat of my car: All in all?highly recommend for headshot photographers.

Not very convenient

There are too many design issues with this item for me to be able to say that this is a great value. For instance, to have to zip each corner with the tiny zipper. It's so time consuming to get it started and who knows how long the zipper will hold up. This design takes way too long to swap out the fabrics. I can't take 15 minutes or longer to do a swap. Need the other fabrics to velcro on top not to have to replace the entire thing. I haven't even tried using it yet but I don't think I will keep it. Back to the drawing board.

Lived up to my expectations: diffuses shadows and lights up those eyes!

I gave this four stars rather than five, only because it's a bit of a hassle to put together and also to use on a mobile set-up. I refused to take it apart after spending the time assembling it! Now that I've used it a couple of times, I can really see the difference in how it diffuses under-the-chin shadows and adds that extra sparkle in the catchlights of the eyes, all very desirable. It took a little bit of finesse to find just the right combination of angling it toward my subject in conjunction with the angle of my light, but when I finally got it, it was fabulous. I've been shooting without one of these for several years and wondered if it would live up to my expectations. In summary, yes, it did.

Needed for portraits

Easy setup with durable hardware. Works great in my portrait work and really lifts the shadows. So far I have only used the white but am excited to see how the silver works as well.

Awesome Set, Great Quality

I used this set for headshots recently and they turned out great. The umbrella portion of the softbox was hard to push into place and takedown, but I'm hoping that it will get easier with time.

Best Reflector For My Headshots

By PATRICIA R.

Nice Reflector For Studio Portraits. The Arclight was priced just right. I knew there was a more expensive one but couldn't see spending $. This reflector was worth every penny and was super easy to assemble.

Love it!

By Kelii B.

While the curved reflector takes some practice to set up efficiently, the Glow parabolic softbox is quick and easy to set up. I have used it several times with my Flashpoint Xplor 600, in both outdoor and studio settings, and have been completely satisfied with the results. Its also been very durable in both conditions, as well as in transport on my equipment cart.

The Glow ArcLight II Curved Reflector has the right idea when it comes to revealing beauty. The curve of the reflector focuses the source light and equalizes the catchlight into an unbroken band. The contour enhances the magic of youthful vibrancy and the sensation of a healthy glowing complexion, achieves the illustrative goal of fashion, portrait, and beauty photographers. The overall effect imparts allure and charm.

ArcLight II goes to the next step. The difference here is that the curve of the reflector focuses the source light and equalizes the catchlight into an unbroken band, beyond the capacity of customary straight silver cards. Moreover, without additional light sources! Eyes seem to sparkle, wrinkles blend into softness, while textures diminish, and skin radiates with subtle tones. The sphere of the eye catches a brilliant arc of light, the signature of the beauty reflector.

A modeling light equipped strobe helps you visualize the proper placement of both the primary source light and the ArcLight II Reflector.

The process is straightforward to accomplish perfection. Place the center of the ArcLight under the subject so that the light coming from the source is captured by the arc at an angle of incident equally to the source - resulting in an alluring u-shaped catchlight in the iris. Center a 48 to 60" wide softbox, preferably, or wide umbrella, above and in front of the subject, approximately 3 feet from the individual. Tilt the light to optimally illuminate the face with the least dramatic effect, while maintaining a pleasing wash of light.

Glow Fabrics for ArcLight II Curved Reflectors are included in three luxurious finishes for even more customization of your beauty tool. The fabrics are interchangeable with a clever wrap and zip system to speed photo sessions along.

Silver Fabric Reflector focuses the source light and equalizes the catchlight into an unbroken band, without additional lightsources. Eyes seem to sparkle, wrinkles blend into softness, while textures diminish, and skin radiates with subtle tones. The sphere of the eye catches a brilliant arc of light, the signature of the beauty reflector.

White Fabric reduces the overall effect delivered by the Silver ArcLight fabric. More subtle, smoother skin tones and less distinct catchlight results, quite noticeable in the sphere of the eye, the signature of the beauty reflector.

The Wave Gold Fabric, throws a warm bronzing glow into the skin, imparting a visual illusion of well-being and a delicate allure to the catchlight in the eye. Combined with color balanced lighting from the main light, the reflection simulates the right touch of a sunlit environment.

Glow Curved Reflector Features

  • A boon for portrait, fashion, and beauty photography
  • Creates seamless catchlights in the eye
  • Adds a healthy glow to all faces
  • Reduces shadows and smooths the complexion
  • Adjustable base bracket tilts to the optimum angle
  • The ArcLight II assembles and packs up quickly and easily
