The Lastolite Skylite Small 1.1 x 1.1 m Sunfire/White is a reversible fabric reflector panel designed to shape and modify photographic light. One side provides a warm Sunfire tone to add golden highlights and warmer color temperature, while the opposite white side gives neutral, soft fill that preserves natural color balance. Its compact 1.1 x 1.1 m size makes the panel portable and convenient for studio setups as well as on-location portrait, product and event photography.
Advantages
The reflector panel is reversible, offering two distinct lighting effects in a single, lightweight accessory. The Sunfire surface introduces controlled warmth without gels or post-processing, while the white surface supplies even, low-contrast fill. The durable fabric is mounted in a frame that keeps the surface flat and consistent across the panel area. Its size balances coverage and portability, enabling quick placement and easy handling during shoots.
Suitable for
- Portrait photography in studio or on location
- Product and still-life lighting to enhance highlights and reduce shadows
- Event and reportage work where quick warmth or neutral fill is needed
- Mixed lighting situations to adjust color temperature and fill ratio
Key specifications
- Reversible two-sided fabric: warm Sunfire and neutral white
- Panel dimensions: approximately 1.1 x 1.1 metres
- Light control: modifies color temperature, contrast and fill intensity
- Construction: tensioned fabric on a lightweight support frame for a flat reflective surface
- Portability: compact size suitable for handheld use, stands or mounts
How to use
Position the Skylite panel so that the chosen surface faces the subject and adjusts the amount of reflected light by changing distance and angle relative to the light source and subject. Use the Sunfire side to introduce warmer tones and stronger highlights, and use the white side for neutral, diffuse fill that reduces shadow contrast. Combine with key lights, fill lights or natural light to achieve the desired balance; move the panel closer for more intense reflection or farther away for subtler effect. Secure the panel on a stand or hold it by an assistant where required.
Usage recommendations
For consistent color results, check white balance after switching between the Sunfire and white surfaces. When using the Sunfire side in mixed lighting, consider adjusting camera white balance or applying minimal color correction in post-production. Store the panel in a protective bag to preserve fabric finish and maintain a flat reflective surface.
