Elinchrom Reflector 26 cm 48° High Performance. Maximise light output and direct the light where it is needed. The High Performance Reflector creates a concentrated beam that delivers more light over longer distances, in the studio, on location, and in situations where every f-stop counts. It is well suited to bouncing light off ceilings, sports applications etc.
More light over longer distances
Its deep shape and highly reflective interior concentrate the flash output into a 48° beam. This provides greater light efficiency than wider reflectors and helps you use the full power of your flash more effectively.
This makes the reflector particularly useful when the light needs to travel farther, when working with smaller apertures, or when there is a greater distance between the flash and the subject.
Built for demanding setups
The High Performance Reflector is designed for photographers who need both reach and control. Its concentrated light spread makes it well suited to sports, action, and photography across larger spaces.
It also works well when bouncing flash from a high ceiling. The increased light output helps more of the light reach the reflective surface, creating better conditions for even, indirect illumination.
Defined, high-contrast light
Compared with a softbox or a wide reflector, the High Performance Reflector produces a harder, more direct light with clearer shadows and stronger contrast.
Use it as a key light when you want to emphasise texture and shape, or as a directional accent light to separate the subject from the background. It is also well suited to setups where the flash is positioned farther away and the light needs to remain concentrated.
When should you choose the High Performance Reflector?
Choose this reflector when maximum light output is more important than a soft, wide light.
It is particularly well suited to:
- sports and action photography
- portraits and fashion at longer distances
- lighting larger subjects or areas
- indirect flash bounced from a ceiling
- outdoor photography in strong ambient light
- setups that require clear contrast and precise direction
For softer light and smoother transitions, a softbox is the better choice. To cover a larger area at shorter distances, choose a reflector with a wider beam angle.
