This 5" Photogenic 5" Snoot for Powerlight PL7MFis designed to fit into the Photogenic 5" Snoot for Powerlight PL7MFPL7MF mounting frame which fits onto a Photogenic Powerlight Reflector.

Snoots, barndoors, grids, and filters are essential accessories for any lighting system. These devices alter the shape, intensity, or color of the light output from your flash heads. Consider them as a painter would a brush or a sculptor would a knife or chisel.

Use of a snoot will result in a small circle of light when it is attached to the front of your light source. The size of the circle of light will be determined by the opening of the snoot, its length, and the distance of the subject.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Don't they have this backwards???: 1/770 Sec. @ max. power1/345 Sec. @ min. power

A: That is correct. This is flash duration not recycle time.Recycle time is 3 sec at Max power and 0.8 sec at Minimum power.

Q: 2. Does it extend flash range for like the beamer?

A: Yes it extends the flash's usable range while also narrowing the beam and concentrating it, producing very high contrast.

Q: 3. can I used this light for newborn photography?

A: Its a 1,000ws light so its on the powerful side for newborns. You would most likely have it turned down a fair bit. Its doable but it might be overkill.

Q: 4. Will this snoot fit the Godox VL series of lights?

A: This will fit the VL series.

Q: 5. will this flash capture motion at 1/1600 of a second ?

A: This BH #PH2500DRUV shortest flash duration is 1/770th of a second.

Q: 6. Can flash duration be adjusted?

A: Not directly, no. But for most flash units the brightness of the flash over a set amount of time doesn't change. What does change is the length of the light burst. So shooting at full power uses the longest burst, and at half power it will be half as long. I don't have the manuals in front of me (but they are online at the Photogenic website). I'm pretty sure they give the length of flash durations at various settings.... or at least an estimate.

Q: 7. Whether the flash duration at max. power and min. power indicates t0.5 and t0.1?

A: As per the manufacturer, the minimum and maximum flash duration for this monolight is based on t0.5.

Q: 8. Can the power be adjusted remotely? If so, how? Thanks!

A: From the manufacturer. The power can be adjusted with the Photogenic PLDIR-2 Infrared Receiver (919235) a href= https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/175746-REG/Photogenic_919235_Infra_Red_Receiver_Digital_Display.html target= _blank https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/175746-REG/Photogenic_919235_Infra_Red_Receiver_Digital_Display.html/a and the PLIRC-2, and the Photogenic Infrared Hand Held Remote (919438) a href= https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/523174-REG/Photogenic_919438_PLIRC2_Infra_Red_Receiver_Digital.html target= _blank https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/523174-REG/Photogenic_919438_PLIRC2_Infra_Red_Receiver_Digital.html./a

Q: 9. Are there any grids available for this snoot?

A: Broncolor does not make a grid for this snoot.

Q: 10. Battery power

A: The Photogenic PLR2500DRC 1,000W/s PowerLight Monolight is not designed for use with battery power. It is an AC-powered unit that comes with a standard household AC power cord to power the unit. If you are looking for a power inverter that may be used with the included AC power cord for location usage, the Photogenic Ion Lithium-ion Pure Sine Wave Inverter System, B&H # PHION, would work for your usage needs.

[1 x Snoot] I've used these same lights for years. One of my lights was destroyed when it crashed 10 ft. down on cement. I was only looking to replace it when I found this kit. Now I have two brand new lights and I LOVE them. I didn't realize how worn my old ones were and am enjoying a whole new set. I'd highly recommmend these! 5

[1 x Snoot] For the money, I can't imagine a better product. This light goes for 10 hours day after day for a thousand frames a day. I just purchased a new mono light to go with the one I have been using for over four years. 5

[1.71 lb] I purchased this monolight in February 2022 from B&H. I use this along with another Photogenic PL1250 monolight (Powerlight). Its solid body construction and MADE IN USA I use with westcot rapid box softboxes at locations 5

[1 x Snoot] Really I think these are 4.5 out of 1-5. I have about 8 of these that are used a lot. I've owned/used Novatrons, Dynalights, etc, and these are great. As mono-lights, I can put them all over a large area, the don't have to worry about plugging each into one power pack. Love how you can regulate the power to whatever you want. I rarely go to full power with these. I use three for location headshots at ISO 100 with either umbrellas or softboxes, and set each at 1/4 power at the most. I've used them in dental clinics, medical offices, industrial areas, outside, churches, reception venues, and always know that I can count on them to give professional results. Occasionally the photo (optical) slave from one might not see the other flash, and not fire, especially if I am using a softbox, which puts the sensor on the wrong side of the light. Can't they add one to another location? Love using one light bounced off the white ceiling at a reception to give me consistant fill light over a large area. 5

[1 x Snoot] I'm replacing lighting after my studio partner left-this is my second Photogenic-the first I've used hard for 8 years with no problems, unlike the other brand we used. The modelling lamp lasts forever, and fan cooling seems to do the job. Also, switching modifiers is a snap. Highly recommended. 5
