Nanlite Umbrella Deep Translucent 165cm

Nanlite Umbrella Deep Translucent 165cm – Softens and Broadens Light for Natural, Diffuse Results

The Nanlite Translucent Deep Umbrella 165cm softens and broadens light to produce natural-looking, diffuse illumination with very soft shadows. It uses a translucent fabric and a 16-rod structure to maintain shape while spreading light evenly across a wide area.

Translucent material and soft, even light

The umbrella’s translucent interior allows light to pass through, which reduces harshness and creates a gentle, wrap-around quality. As a result, the output appears more natural and the shadows become very soft. This makes the umbrella a practical choice whenever you need diffuse illumination rather than hard, contrasty light.

Wide coverage and wrap-around effect

With a 165cm diameter, the deep umbrella delivers a broad beam angle and a wrap-around characteristic. Therefore, it provides wide coverage that works well for photographing groups and lighting larger spaces. The large surface helps distribute light over a greater area for more even results.

Design and precise control

The umbrella features a 16-rod design that maintains its shape and helps spread light evenly. In addition, you can position light sources anywhere along the umbrella’s shaft to focus or de-focus the beam. This placement flexibility lets you control contrast and coverage to suit different shooting scenarios.

Compatibility and intended fixtures

The Translucent Deep Umbrella 165 is designed for use with Nanlite’s P-Series LED Monolights and uses a near-universal 8mm shaft. Consequently, it fits most umbrella mounts on LEDs, strobes, and constant lights. It is explicitly compatible with Forza 200, Forza 300B, and other fixtures that include an umbrella hole.

Portability and physical details

The umbrella folds down to a compact 109cm length for transport and storage. It weighs 1 kg, making it straightforward to carry between locations and to include in a standard kit bag. The shaft measures 8mm in diameter, and the rods are made from fiberglass for reliable shape retention.
