Nanlite BM40 Bowens-Mount Beauty Dish Reflector – Soft, Textured Lighting for Portrait and Fashion Photography
The Nanlite BM40 Beauty Dish Reflector is designed for Bowens-mount LED and strobe fixtures up to 600W, offering photographers a powerful way to achieve soft, dimensional light with rich contrast. Measuring 15.7 inches (40 cm) and weighing only 2.09 lb, this lightweight aluminum-alloy beauty dish is ideal for both studio and on-location shoots, where portability and durability matter most.
Perfect for portrait, editorial, and fashion photography, the BM40 creates flattering light that enhances skin texture and facial features while maintaining crisp highlights. Its white textured interior and central deflector plate evenly distribute light, minimizing hotspots and producing a gentle wraparound effect for natural-looking illumination.
To further refine your lighting, the BM40 includes both a diffuser and honeycomb grid. Use the diffuser to soften shadows and create smooth tonal transitions, or attach the grid to narrow the beam angle and precisely direct the light for dramatic, high-contrast results.

Whether you’re shooting editorials, commercial portraits, or video interviews, this beauty dish reflector offers the perfect balance of softness, control, and contrast—helping you achieve consistent, cinematic results.
