What are your guys thoughts on the High-Output Beauty Dish? Do you prefer it over the original white one?

This image was made with the 86" and defusion panel. It was almost floor to ceiling and I was in front and just a bit to left of the PLM. It is the only light source. The great thing about the PLMs is that the silver delivers one kind of light, the silver with defusion another and the white with spill kill another. I like the white with spill kill because it has a chinese lantern kind of effect with the light radiating out in a broad arch. Makes a nice fill or soft side kicker and with a little care delivers a consistent F-stop for a full length or group. The head and shoulder shot of the blonde illustrates how the white with spill kill can soften the silver with defusion for nice soft transitions. Along with enough directionality to provide modeling. very nice.... Bill

On a percentage scale, how often are you actually using full power. Thanks I don't think I've ever actually shot at full power, but I know I've gotten really close to it. I had first ordered AB800s, but I sent them back and got the AB1600s to have the extra kick when I needed it. -JOSHUADAHL
