This 47" Premio Shoot-Through Umbrella with Black Backing from Phottix is an easily deployable and widely compatible modifier that helps you diffuse and control the light emitted from a variety of sources both in studio and on location. The umbrella can be used to bounce the light from your monolights, strobes, and more, but is most effective when your light is fired through it to create a large, soft source of light that can be used for a variety of applications. The included backing, with a black exterior and silver interior, provides an additional level of control over the directionality of the beam of your light and helps limit spill on set.

Q: 4. Two questions here. I work in a studio setting with 500 W daylight bulbs. Will this stand the high heat generated by the bulbs? Also, with the light be distributed enough to light an entire person, standing, or objects the size of a car if I use two units?

A: Hi Rebecca. I use profoto D1 and B1 strobes versus continuous light. So, I'm not sure the heat rating of this umbrella. If you're shooting with fluorescent or LED lights, I would guess you'll be ok. If you're using anything that generates a lot of heat, I'd check with the manufacturer for what it can handle regarding heat. As far as coverage, I use this all the time for large groups as my fill light and it works great. You get a lot of diffusion for the price.
