Discover the Glow 40" Translucent Umbrella, a versatile and portable lighting solution designed for photographers seeking to achieve natural and flattering lighting effects. This stylish and durable umbrella serves as an effective lighting modifier, softening and diffusing light to create a more evenly lit scene. The translucent interior of the umbrella allows for a controlled amount of light to pass through, resulting in a softer, more diffused light that reduces harsh shadows. The 40" size of the umbrella makes it compatible with various light sources, including strobes, speedlights, and natural light, offering flexibility to photographers in different shooting environments. The unique rounded shape of the Glow 40" Translucent Umbrella further enhances light diffusion, ensuring a more balanced and natural lighting effect. Its lightweight spoke structure efficiently spreads soft light over the area while keeping light loss to a minimum. This umbrella can be used as a traditional wrap-around reflected light source or as a powerful direct diffuser, providing a range of lighting options to suit your creative needs. The Glow line of umbrellas is your fast track to superior light diffusion, with each size and material designed with a specific function in mind. The Glow 40" Translucent Umbrella features a classic white interior for an even, diffused lighting effect with soft shadow definition. The closer the umbrella is placed to the subject, the softer the shadow will be. This umbrella also includes a unique accessory feature, a black opaque cover layer, which limits the light loss that naturally occurs through its white fabric material. Use this umbrella in three creative ways: as a traditional soft bounce, a softer and more efficient bounce with the black outer layer, or as a clarity enhancing shoot-through diffuser. The silver umbrella lining provides stronger focused lighting, making it especially suitable for higher light output, greater reach, and bringing out details and creating specular highlights. Experience the Glow 40" Translucent Umbrella, the standard-setter for portable light control at an affordable price, and elevate your photography to new heights.

works great, easy to set up, hasn't pinched my fingers once, didn't notice it transformed into a shoot through until i already bought it but that was a welcome surprise

good, cheap umbrella

I've never seen another umbrella with logo printed on them. It won't affect color much but knowing it is there and some light is passing through it makes me wanna buy something else instead.

it is a translucent umbrella. don't print a color logo on it.

For $15 you'd have to be crazy not to have this in your lighting kit. Super simple, setup doesn't get any easier than this.  Shoot through the white umbrella for a nice soft light. If you need more punch put the black cover over the umbrella and shoot into the slightly diffused silver and adjust distance accordingly.  Inexpensive, lightweight, compact, functional.

No better ROI as far as light modifiers go.

I do a lot of in home sessions and all my gear has to be able to save space. I'm excited to be able to use this umbrella- When I get to photograph newborn, I like to be able to have the white umbrella to soften the light on the baby, I have others but just don't feel that it is an even cast. This should really do the trick!

60 inch umbrella, Can't wait to use for next studio session

Great umbrella for the price. The light diffuses well. It collapses and goes up easily. The only small problem I have is that the pole dents if mounted a bit tighter than just snugly.

Great umbrella

For an Umbrella it does exactly what it is designed to do. Hold out the Rai- I mean, reflect light.

Setup with my lighting system works as intended, and I have no complaints.

Does great - Exactly what I'd expect

Would be 5 stars if the case actually had the handles pictured in the product description. Otherwise, good stuff.

Good but no strap as pictured

This umbrella is inexpensive enough that buying a plain white umbrella doesn't make sense.

Smart investment

Simple and Easy

It really can't get much better.  It's an umbrella--it's solidly built, produces a great quality of light, and it's only $15 for 40", which is a substantial size!  On top of all this, it's multi-dimensional in the fact that you can either use it as a bounce or shoot-through style!  The removable black/silver backing comes off easily.  If I had to pick on anything I think they could choose a better attachment method for the backing, like a velcro fastening system instead of unlatching the metal attachments on the tips of the umbrella, but it's rather easy and quick.  It would be quicker to rip it off if it was fastened by velcro, but that's being very picky.  Listen, it's only $15, and it's solid materials with a nice case!  Get two--I did!!!

Fantastic umbrella and great quality, inexpensive light source for small groups!

Good quality umbrella, will definitely buy 1 more

40 inch Glow White Umbrella

Great value for price

Recently purchased 2 of these umbrellas to added to my OCF sent up as I am wanting to add OCF in my sessions. 

Have had a few trial runs with them and they are super cool. Easy to handle, soft light and spread. Totally happy with my purchase.

Fantastic product and addiction to my OCF set up.

Studio light

Shoot through or reflector is a nice option. Taking care when removing and installing the black/silver cover should ensure a relatively long life. I am happy with this purchase.

Shoot through or reflector is a nice option

Excellent value. Great umbrella. It?s the perfect size to use with my Flashpoint eVOLV 200. The bare bulb head fills the umbrella completely. The round head almost fille it completely.
