FABRIC SPECIFICATIONS

 

How we tested.  All fabrics were tested in the same testing chamber (see below) and measurements were taken with two exposure meters to verify accuracy.  Since the interior of the test chamber is flat black, only the transmission factor is measured.  Our testing does not take into account conditions that may be encountered in shooting situations such as ambient bounce produced by the fabric or other lighting instruments or sunlight which could affect results.  These tests are strictly for comparing light loss factors using a set constant.

PRIMARY USE

SINGLE NET - Black

288"

0.6 Stops

FR Yes *1 Reduction of light without altering the pattern or its color temperature.
SINGLE NET - White

288"

0.5 Stops

FR Yes *1 Reduction of light without altering the pattern or its color temperature. Effect is softened by the introduction of a significant amount of ambient bounce produced by the white fabric.
DOUBLE NET - Black

288"

1.2 Stops

FR Yes *1 This is actually two layers of the Single Net.  Greater reduction of light without altering the pattern or its color temperature.
DOUBLE NET - White

288"

1.0 Stops

FR Yes *1 This is actually two layers of the Single Net.  Greater reduction of light without altering the pattern or its color temperature.  Effect softened by the introduction of a significant amount of ambient bounce.
TRIPLE NET - Black

288"

1.8 Stops

FR Yes *1 This is actually three layers of the Single Net.  Greatest amount of light reduction without altering the pattern or color temperature. Triple nets are not made in Butterflies or Overheads.
HALO SILK - White

60"

1.6 Stops

SE Yes *2 Softens and diffuses direct light. Also introduces a significant amount of ambient bounce.
HALO SILK - Black

60"

1.8 Stops

SE Yes *2 Softens and diffuses direct light. Introduces no ambient bounce.
CHINA SILK - White

54"

1.0 Stops

NFR Yes *2 Softens and diffuses direct light. Creates a significant amount of ambient bounce. 8mm China Silk is less diffusion and light loss than Halo Silk. 
It is natural for china silk to have some irregularities - it's the nature of 100% silk fabric - surface variations are to be expected and are in no way to be considered defective.
"mm" means mummie, the unit of measure used to designate the weight of silk. bigger number, heavier weight silk.
CHINA SILK - Black

45"

1.0 Stops

NFR Yes *2 Softens and diffuses direct light without the introduction of ambient bounce.  See above.
LIGHT CHINA SILK - White

0.7 Stops

NFR Yes *2 5mm Light China Silk is less diffusion and reduction of light than China Silk. Introduces significant ambient bounce.  This was the original China Silk.
GRID CLOTH

60"

2.6 Stops

SE Yes *2 Heavy diffusion of direct light. Introduces a significant amount of ambient bounce. U.V. stabilizer tends to make this fabric noisy in wind.
LIGHT GRID CLOTH

60"

2.0 Stops

SE Yes *2 Medium diffusion of direct light. Introduces a significant amount of ambient bounce. U.V. stabilizer tends to make this fabric noisy in wind.
QUARTER GRID CLOTH

Note - Yes *1:   These fabrics may only be hand washed in warm water using a very mild detergent and then air dried by stretched onto the proper size frame to prevent excessive shrinkage.  ALL FLAME RETARDANT PROPERTIES WILL BE REMOVED BY WASHING THESE FABRICS!
Note - Yes *2:  These fabrics may be hand washed or machine washed if there are no tears or rips and all ties have been removed with a mild detergent.   They must be air dried on the proper size frame to prevent excessive shrinking.   Some fabrics may loose some of their color intensity after washing.
Note - No *3:   It is not recommended that the entire unit be washed.  Completely immersing them in water may cause de-lamination in some cases.  These fabrics may be cleaned by wiping a mild soap or detergent onto the surface and then rinsing it off with a clean wet cloth.  If mildew is the cause of stains, a mild fabric mildew stain remover may be used such as Iosso Mold & Mildew Stain Remover, which can be purchased from their website.
