Colorama Translum Light Diffusion Material 1.52 x 5.40m, 0.75 Stop

The Colorama Translum Light Diffusion Material is a professional-grade solution for photographers and cinematographers seeking precise control over their lighting setups. Measuring 1.52 by 5.40 meters, this durable, plastic-based diffusion sheet is engineered to soften harsh light sources, providing a consistent 0.75 stop light reduction. Its robust construction ensures it can withstand the rigors of frequent studio use while maintaining excellent light transmission properties for high-quality results.

Advantages

This diffusion material excels at transforming intense, direct light into a soft, flattering glow that minimizes harsh shadows and highlights. Because it is made from a resilient plastic material, it is significantly more durable than traditional paper-based diffusers, resisting tearing and moisture damage. The consistent 0.75 stop reduction allows for predictable lighting ratios, making it an essential tool for achieving professional-grade illumination in both still photography and video production.

Suitable for

• Creating custom light tents for product photography
• Softening strobe or continuous studio lighting
• Building large-scale background diffusion panels
• Diffusing natural light coming through studio windows

This material may not be suitable for applications requiring high heat resistance, as it is a plastic-based product that should be kept away from hot, non-LED light sources to prevent warping or melting. Additionally, it is not intended for outdoor use in high-wind conditions without a rigid frame, as the material is flexible and may flap or tear if not properly secured.

Key specifications

• Dimensions: 1.52 x 5.40 meters
• Light reduction: 0.75 stops
• Material: Durable plastic-based diffusion sheet
• Application: Studio lighting control

To use the Colorama Translum Light, cut the material to your desired size using sharp scissors or a utility knife. It can be taped, clamped, or stapled to a frame or directly to light modifiers. Ensure the material is pulled taut to avoid unwanted wrinkles or uneven light distribution across the surface. When working with large areas, use a sturdy frame to keep the sheet flat and stable throughout your shoot.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your lighting equipment is compatible with plastic-based diffusion materials
• Verify that your studio space can accommodate a 1.52-meter wide roll
• Check if you have the necessary mounting hardware or frames for installation

For optimal results, always maintain a safe distance between the diffusion material and your light source to prevent overheating and ensure even light spread across the entire surface.
