Reflector Umbrella Elinchrom 26762 Black White 125 cm

The Elinchrom 26762 Black White reflector umbrella with a 125 cm diameter is a studio lighting accessory designed to modify and soften light from flash heads and continuous fixtures. Its black exterior and white interior produce a controlled, diffused reflection that reduces harsh shadows while maintaining directional control of the beam. The umbrella is suitable for use on stands and with a variety of light heads that accept umbrella shafts.

Advantages

The umbrella’s 125 cm canopy provides a large, even reflecting surface that delivers soft, flattering light for portraits and product shots. The black outer fabric prevents unwanted light spill and improves contrast, while the white inner surface yields neutral color rendering and smooth diffusion. The design allows quick setup and compact storage when folded, and the construction is compatible with common studio mounting methods.

Suitable for

• Portrait photography in studio and on-location
• Product and still-life photography requiring soft, even lighting
• Commercial and editorial shoots where controlled diffusion is needed
• Photography setups using flash or continuous light with umbrella mounts

Key specifications

• Canopy diameter: 125 cm
• Exterior color: black
• Interior surface: white (reflective/diffusing)
• Type: reflector umbrella (soft/reflective light modifier)
• Foldable design for transport and storage

How to use

Place the umbrella on a compatible light stand and insert the umbrella shaft into the light head’s umbrella socket according to the lamp manufacturer’s instructions. Position the light source so its head faces the interior white surface, and adjust distance and angle to control the softness and spread of the reflected light. For a softer effect, move the umbrella closer to the subject or use a larger separation between light and umbrella for more directional quality. Always secure the stand with appropriate weights if using the umbrella outdoors or at greater heights.

Usage recommendations

Use the black outer surface to avoid backlight spill when aiming for higher contrast; pair with additional reflectors or flags to shape light precisely. Test a few power and distance combinations to find preferred illumination for skin tones or product textures.
