Studio Barn Door With Colour Gels

A purpose-built barn door system for 7-inch reflector heads, combining mechanical light control with practical colour management. Includes four interchangeable 1/4 colour correction gels (CTB, CTO, plus two neutral-toned creative gels), four independently adjustable metal leaves, and a dedicated snoot coupling ring. Dimensions: 18 × 12 × 6 cm (W×H×D); weight: 320 g. Constructed from 1.2 mm cold-rolled steel with baked-on matte black coating. Designed for seamless integration with Bowens-mount and compatible reflectors used by UK-based rental houses and independent creatives. The leaf mechanism allows micro-adjustments — each leaf moves ±45° with firm detents, supporting configurations from full flood to razor-thin slits. Gels slide into a front-loading channel with friction-fit retention, staying aligned during pan/tilt movements. Snoots attach via a threaded ring with centreing lip, ensuring no lateral offset. Heat dissipation is enhanced by vented rear structure, suitable for sustained use with 300–600 Ws strobes. Common applications include: editorial portraiture requiring sculptural rim lighting, flat-lay product photography needing directional highlights on packaging textures, and architectural detail shots where controlled light fall-off defines material depth — all within typical UK studio ceiling heights (2.4–3.0 m).
