SOFT FOCUS LENS ADAPTER Part #: PHX-SFLA (sold separately)
The soft focus lens adapter is a 5° luminate holographic lensing option to help diffuse the LED
array for a softer focus. The matte side of the diffusion should face the light source as the shiny
side should face the lens barrel. NOTE: Do not add metal gobos in the same pattern holder. The
heat build up will melt the diffusion material.
