The Rayo Reflector by Mola measures 16" and has a completely different design than other Mola reflectors. It's designed to be used alone as a main light or with other Mola reflectors as a fill or hair light. The smaller diameter and greater depth gives it a directional beam of light, sharp shadows, and a narrower, longer throw of light which can be altered using optional Opal and PAD internal deflectors or a grid. A great choice for full-length location and fashion work, it has a 50° beam spread and a white interior for a soft quality of light and a wraparound effect.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is the included speed ring OCF compatible? (e.g., Profoto BX10 Plus)

A: The speed ring included with the purchase of the Mola Setti Komplette with Case for Profoto, B&H # MOMSK02, would be compatible with Profoto light fixtures that use OCF speed rings. However, do note that the Mola Setti Komplette with Case for Profoto weighs 20 lb, so you need to ensure that your specific light fixture and your light stand can accommodate the weight of this light modifier.

Q: 2. I own an elinchrom Deep Octa 100cm And Im thinking a lot about buying this Setti for my fashion work which often involves full length shots. What kind of distance is required for good full length coverage when using this and does a second strobe lower down need to be used to get the legs exposed properly? Also how do you think it compares to the deep octa will I see a major d8fference?

A: Ferhan: The difference between the deep Octa and the Setti white interior are as follows. The Octa is 39 in and the Setti is 28 in, so it is 30% smaller. The Octa however is quite different in that the Octa is 26 inches deep and the Setti is 13 in deep.The Octa is much deeper and therefore has less coverage than the Setti at the same distance. The Setti's white interior will give greater spread as the Octa is a bright silver making it more directional.The light quality from these sources is very different. The Setti is contrasty, but the Octa is more so. The Setti will give you a warmer quality of light whereas the Octa will be much cooler in colour temperature(silver vs white). Shooting distance with the Setti for F/L would be 7-8 feet. This will depend on how even or flat you like your light. You may want to add a light below or something broad behind to act as fill. These are all personal preferences is lighting style. I think the Setti has great contrast with a really nice fall off. But as I've said they are very different in light quality. I hope this helps!

Q: 3. Hi,i'm looking or a 20 Grid for a Mola Demi 22 .The ones Mola produce are a little wobbly.Any alternatives?Thanks

A: look at honey grids

Q: 4. What are the exact dimensions of the Mola Rayo?

A: 16 in Diameter13 in height

Q: 5. What is the difference between the "Original Demi Mola" and the "V2"? I actually bought a 22" Mola from B&H in 2018 but now I don't know if it's a V2 but am looking to buy a grid.

A: The V2 refers to the version of the grid. The original Demi grid was produced many years, but when we updated the grid we called it the V2 or version 2. The Demi is still the same amazing reflector and has not changed. The V2 grid will absolutely fit your 2018 Demi

Q: 6. Does the Rayo include the mounting hardware and the PAD as other Mola reflectors?

A: It includes the mounting hardware for the pad, but depending on the strobe light you use, you will still need to purchase a speedring.

Q: 7. what is the difference between the black and white grid?

A: The white grids tend to soften the edges and the contrast of the light output. It creates a more subtle shadow to highlight transistion. The black grids tend to harden the edges and increase the contrast of the light output.

Q: 8. Does it comes with Opal Diffusion Glass ?

A: No it doesn't come included you have to purchase the opal glass separate along with the opal glass stabilizing ring. Also you will need to purchase the speed ring attachment that works with your lighting equipment. Hope this helps. It's an awesome light diffuser!! Enjoy:)

Q: 9. Why isnt this available anymore? I really need it!

A: We discontinued using the white polycarbonate grid material for the Rayo as the material would breakdown in the center of the grid due to the concentration ofheat. The focused nature of the Rayo produces a center core of heat which over time will distort the polycarbonate grid material.We only make a 20 degree and a 40 degree (special order) in black aluminum.

Q: 10. Does the Rayo come with the pad perforated diffuser?

A: Yes, the PAD - perforated aluminum diffuser is shipped with every Mola reflector.

[White] Besides the Mola Setti this is my favorite modifier. I love how crisp the shadows are when shooting beauty with the Rayo, its simply amazing. I only wish I had bought it sooner.

[50°] Mola, where have you been all my life? My soft boxes have taken a backseat to the Rayo, the Demi and the Setti. And I must admit, I love the thunking sound it makes :)

[White] I recently acquired the Rayo to mate up with my Profoto B1 strobes for shoots where I wanted more of an edgy look to my key light. It did not disappoint. As other reviewers have noted, the Rayo provides a punchy light with strong contrasts, but has just the right amount of softness to avoid being harsh.

[White] Mola stuff is very solid. A level above most metal modifiers on tensil strength. This one is close to needing the extra support of the brace that the Setti has. When you put a monoblock on it it is pretty heavy. Really needs a case to keep it nice if your going to travel with it.

[White] Purchased through a local seller a few years ago, still haven't seen much traction on this dish. I made my purchase blindly, but you don't have to. It's a strong contrast light with a 60 degree fall off. There's a new one they're releasing that's 50 degrees and a smaller mouth. Interesting thing about this reflector is how much pop a photo has, yet there's a pleasing softness to it thanks to the metal mesh in the dish. There's some talk on how this is like a profoto magnum. Kind of. It's more Telezoom and Magnum had a lovechild. Long throw with an extra stop of light. I have to crank my acuteb pack down to use it. Every time you pop one off, *DUNK....DUNK....DUNK* It's weird but satisfying. There's a video floating around by The Breed of this thing in action against a beauty dish. Had much better transitions and fall off. It's a satisfying pop that isn't too strong. Single light setup for this. If you have lower power packs, it's worth the extra light you get. Had it on an AB800, best photos were shot on this thing. It's a tall dish though. The carrying bag is pricy. Not exactly easy to travel with. Use with an boom to make your life easier. What I am saying is, it's not a hard light you'd expect Mola to make, but it's got a hard-soft quality. Worthwhile purchase.
