Westcott Diffusion Panel for 53" Deep Umbrella

The Westcott Diffusion Panel is a purpose-built accessory that transforms a 53-inch deep umbrella into a fully enclosed light modifier. By stretching across the umbrella's opening, it contains and diffuses the light, producing a broad, wraparound quality similar to what you'd expect from a dedicated softbox. The neutral white polyester fabric ensures that the diffused light remains color-accurate, which is critical for portrait, product, and video work where white balance consistency matters.

Because it's designed as a companion to an umbrella you may already own, the panel offers a cost-effective way to expand your lighting options without investing in an entirely new modifier system. It packs flat alongside the umbrella for location work and adds virtually no weight to your kit. For photographers and videographers who appreciate the quick setup of an umbrella but want the controlled, even output of a softbox, this diffusion panel bridges that gap neatly.
