MOLA Beamm: 33.5"

Based on the Euro format the Beamm's mirrored interior surface produces a highly concentrated, directional light which is unlike our white or satin silver interior finishes. The mirrored surface increases output, but more importantly defines the directional quality which Mola is famous for. The interior diffusion is Opal glass with our new dual stabilizing rings. The Beamm, unmistakably Mola.

MOLA Mantti: 43.5"

The MOLA Mantti is the largest of our four designs, with a shallow profile of 9.5" deep. It's purpose is to create a high efficiency broad source by compressing the body of the Euro reflector by 25% and increasing it's surface area by 30%.

MOLA Euro: 33.5"

The MOLA Euro is the essential studio light, it's unique design concentrates light using it's patented shape to heighten output, yet still providing a feathered edge falloff. The Euro is ideal for fashion, beauty and product.

MOLA Setti: 28"

The MOLA Setti is uniquely shaped and differs dramatically from the Mantti, Euro or Demi. The Setti's deep narrow profile increases contrast and delivers a directional quality which is perfect for Black and White as well as Colour images which require a noticably distinct edge.

MOLA Demi: 22"

The MOLA Demi is a scaled down version of the Euro in every respect. The Demi is a perfect companion on location from corporate portraits to beauty, or in the studio as a main light or companion fill light for the Euro or Mantti.

NEW MOLA Lumi: Tilt bracket and Lumilux diffuser for Speedlights and Lumedyne

The MOLA Lumi bracket (Demi reflector sold separately) is a proprietary speed ring and tilt bracket in one, which allows users to mount the Lumi to their Mola Demi without having to touch the screws and rods which hold the interior diffusion whether it’s the PAD, Opal glass or Lumilux.

The Lumi bracket ships with a Lumilux diffuser.  Made of Lexan, Lumilux provides perfect diffusion through transmitted and reflected light from your desired source. The combinations of interior and exterior diffusion with the Mola Demi are numerous.

Mola offers our new interior diffuser Lumilux which is a Lexan product designed for use speedlights and Non-model lamp heads, as well as our current PAD and optional Opal glass.

Exterior diffusion comes in our Standard nylon, our new LW diffuser and the Mola Mesh diffuser.

The Lumi allows speedlights to slide into place on a cold shoe and comes with a cold shoe flash mount for your radio slave on the same bracket.

Accessories:

The Mola Lumedyne speed ring (sold separately) attaches to the Lumi taking the strain from the Lumedyne head and utilizes the bracket instead.

The Mola Demi reflector can be used with Strobe heads, Tungsten and HMI sources without compromising it’s sturdy aluminum body.

Superior Design Performance
UNIFIED SWIVEL HANDLE | Top

The swivel handle combines the best of the Molidae and Griff swivel handles to create the Unified swivel handle.

This new handle combines a new stand adapter and a hand grip in one which evenly distributes the weight of the reflector, balancing and stabilizing the reflector solidly over a light stand or boom.

The Unified swivel handle makes it easy to adjust the reflectors' illumination angle, no matter how frequently adjustments must be made.

PAD DIFFUSER
Lightweight and unbreakable - this new Perforated Aluminum Diffuser allows light to be redirected from the flash tube back into the reflector.

COMPRESSION RING V2
The new Compression ring V2 replaces the rigid clips and Sympl clips with 360 degrees of support for your speed ring.

It allows the mounting of a speed ring separately from the PAD or Opal and makes changing speed rings much simpler.

It's robust constructions means speed rings stay in place, even using heavier self contained flash units.

Why choose MOLA?

WHAT DOES MOLA DO?

Light beams tend to radiate from a light source in all directions - from 1 to 360 degrees in all dimensions of space. The sun, or even a good old fashioned light bulb clearly demonstrate this tendency. While the inclination to scatter is useful in many applications, it is the enemy of the photographer seeking to control the direction and intensity of light.

To reduce light scatter, photographers use reflectors which gather beams headed in the wrong direction and redirect them toward a subject. Unfortunately, many of the common reflector configurations now available are either unwieldy or inefficient.

That's why we have created the Mola reflectors. Mola's unique patented designs allow you to get more work out of less light. Designed by a photographer for photographers, the Mola reflectors captures and focuses light with maximum efficiency. It is shaped to intercept all paths of light, no matter which direction they leave the flash tube, and redirect them toward the subject. This is a big improvement on most square boxlights, which can only focus a portion of the light available.

LIGHT OUTPUT | Top

The Mola's efficiency is equal to or better than other modified parabolic reflectors, and thanks to a specially formulated reflector coating, Mola reflectors produce light of exceptional clarity. In use, Mola reflectors provide a slight warming effect to light. Internal and external diffusers are used to modify light temperature and dampen UV light output.

Mola's light clarity, efficiency, outstanding light control and choice of four sizes makes Mola reflectors ideal for a wide range of photographic jobs, especially those regularly handled by less efficient boxlights.

LIGHT SHAPING | Top

Mola Euro and Demi create an even core of light surrounded by a smoothly graduated feathered edge... about a half a stop difference from the center to outer edge. Because the Mola reflects lights natural shape, the natural pearly aura of complexion highlights are accentuated, and have an unusual opportunity to precisely control the intensity of specular highlighting.

The Setti allows the flash head to move along the center axis and in this way can radiate a varied stream of light by a simply moving the position of the flash tube within the deep contours of the reflector which makes the Setti unique from the Euro and Demi.

With recent modifications to the Series 98 Setti reflector, you can now use a wide variety of stationary flash heads and still achieve a more directional source than that of the Euro or Demi.

To create different effects, light feathering can be easily modified by diffusion -- by using the front nylon diffuser in conjunction with the interior opal diffusion glass. This combination of diffusion either together or used separately makes the Mola Euro, Demi and the Mola Setti, extraordinarily flexible light shaping tools.

LIGHT DISTRIBUTION | Top

The Mola's light feathering pattern is the same whether you move to the top, bottom or either side of the center axis. Box lights, with their combination of curved and straight sides, are unable to achieve this balance.

The Setti heightens the light energy and concentrates the light to produce greater contrast along with a harder edge unlike that of the Euro or Demi. reduce light scatter, photographers use reflectors which gather beams headed in the wrong direction and redirect them toward a subject. Unfortunately, many of the common reflector configurations now available are either unwieldy or inefficient.

That's why we have created the Mola reflectors. Mola's unique patented designs allow you to get more work out of less light.
