Quick answer

Attach the Aputure Bowens Hyper Reflector to your LS 600d or LS 1200d via the Bowens mount, then adjust the diffusion angle for your desired beam spread.

Why the Hyper Reflector Kit matters for your LS series lights

The Aputure Bowens Hyper Reflector Kit is designed specifically for high-output lights like the LS 1200d Pro and LS 600d. It optimizes beam intensity and uniformity, giving you more control over light spill and subject focus.

Compared to standard reflectors, this kit offers a tighter beam angle that reduces light loss and increases effective output. This is especially useful for portrait or product shoots where you need precise highlights.

Step-by-step setup

  1. Prepare the light and reflector: Ensure your LS 600d or LS 1200d is powered off and cool. Remove any existing modifier from the Bowens mount by depressing the release lever and twisting counterclockwise. Never force a cold reflector onto a hot light; wait for the fixture to cool to avoid thermal shock to the metal.
  2. Attach the hyper reflector: Align the reflector's Bowens mount with the light's mount, then push and twist clockwise until it locks. Verify it clicks into place and does not wobble. A loose reflector can shift during use, causing uneven light and potential damage. Double-check the lock by gently tugging the reflector.
  3. Adjust the beam angle: The hyper reflector kit includes multiple reflector options (e.g., narrow, medium, wide). Choose the one that matches your desired beam spread. For a tight spotlight effect, use the narrow reflector; for broader coverage, use the wide one. Swapping reflectors while the light is on can cause burns or damage. Always turn off and let the light cool before changing reflectors.
  4. Test and refine: Power on the light and check the beam pattern on your subject. Move the light closer or farther to adjust intensity and falloff. Use a light meter or your camera's histogram to confirm exposure. The hyper reflector increases effective output, so you may need to reduce power or increase distance to avoid overexposure.
