The NANLITE BM70 Beauty Dish Reflector delivers ultra-soft, flattering light designed for larger portraits and broader subject coverage. It works with Bowens Mount fixtures rated under 600W and provides creative control through its included honeycomb grid and diffuser. The BM70 suits both studio and location shoots where a soft, even light is required.
The BM70’s larger surface area produces softer and more diffused light that wraps subjects in a flattering glow. In addition, the orange-peel textured interior combined with a deflector plate reduces harsh highlights while maintaining a natural falloff. As a result, you get a refined look that works well for portraiture and fashion without introducing unwanted specular highlights.
When you attach the included honeycomb grid, the BM70 narrows the light to a controlled 25° beam angle. This concentration lets you shape light precisely, control spill, and emphasize specific areas in your composition. Therefore, the reflector supports creative techniques such as chiaroscuro lighting and targeted accenting in conceptual photography.
Despite its larger diameter, the BM70 remains manageable on location and in the studio. It uses an aluminum alloy construction for durability and a lightweight feel, making it easier to transport and set up during shoots. Moreover, the reflector integrates with common Bowens Mount fixtures, allowing straightforward mounting and compatibility with existing lighting setups rated under 600W.
