Nanlite Umbrella Deep Silver 135cm – Contrasty, Directional Light with Wrap-Around Quality

The Nanlite Silver Deep Umbrella 135 creates contrasty light with crisp detail while giving you increased directional control and easy feathering. Its deep, reflective interior and robust 16-rod frame deliver even spread and reliable shaping for film and photo lighting.

Key features

• Silver, highly reflective interior that maximizes output and produces contrasty light with crisp detail.
• Deep umbrella shape (56cm depth) that produces wrap-around quality yet keeps directional control for precise lighting.
• 16-rod design that maintains shape and ensures evenly spread light across the surface.
• Near-universal 8mm shaft for compatibility with most umbrella mounts on LEDs, strobes and constant lights.
• Allows precise control by positioning the light source anywhere along the umbrella shaft to focus or de-focus the light, thereby controlling contrast and coverage.

Use cases and benefits

Use this umbrella when you need contrasty, shaped light with the ability to feather edges easily. For example, position a light closer to the shaft to tighten the beam and increase contrast, or slide the light outward to soften and widen coverage. The deep form gives a natural wrap-around catch while still letting you direct the light where you need it.

Moreover, the umbrella pairs directly with NanLite's P-Series LED Monolights, and works with most other lighting heads thanks to its 8mm shaft—so you can integrate it into existing kits quickly.

Compatibility

• Designed for use with NanLite's P-Series LED Monolights.
• Compatible with most LEDs, strobes and constant lights that accept an 8mm umbrella shaft.

FAQ

Question: Will this umbrella work with my LED or strobe?

Answer: Yes. The Silver Deep Umbrella 135 uses a near-universal 8mm shaft, so it fits most umbrella mounts on LEDs, strobes and constant lights. It is also designed specifically for NanLite's P-Series LED Monolights.

Question: How does the deep shape affect the light?

Answer: The 56cm depth creates a wrap-around quality while retaining directional control. In practice, that means the light can wrap softly around subjects yet still be feathered or focused by adjusting the light position along the shaft.

Question: What kind of interior finish does it have and why does that matter?

Answer: The umbrella has a silver, highly reflective interior. This maximizes output and delivers contrasty light with crisp detail, which is useful when you need higher contrast and precise modeling of features.

Question: Is the umbrella durable and easy to handle on location?

Answer: The umbrella features a 16-rod fiberglass frame that maintains shape for evenly spread light. It folds down to 90cm for transport and weighs 0.9kg, making it straightforward to carry and set up on location.
