Three Reflective Looks, One Simple Tool
The Eyelighter 3 includes three high-quality reflective surfaces, each offering a distinct look. The silver fabric produces a bright, specular reflection with high contrast, filling in most shadows under the chin and nose and creating a bold highlight in the eyes. The white fabric gives a softer, more natural fill, leaving some shadow to add depth and dimension to facial features. The sunlight fabric blends gold and silver tones to create a warm, glowy finish that is especially flattering for skin tones and adds warmth to the catchlight.
Quick Setup and Flexible Control
The redesigned frame uses a push-and-release quick-lock system that allows the Eyelighter 3 to be assembled or packed away in around two minutes. Tension rods keep the fabric taut to maximise light output, while the integrated locking tilter mounts to a standard light stand and offers a wide range of adjustment. This makes it easy to fine-tune your lighting angle, whether you are working in a studio or using available light outdoors.
Durable, Lightweight Design
Built around a strong aluminium frame, the Eyelighter 3 weighs approximately 3.1 kg while remaining robust enough for regular professional use. When fully assembled, the curved reflector measures 138.4 x 63 x 53.8 cm. It collapses down to 85 cm for storage in the included padded carry case, making it practical to transport between shoots.

TFC’s Verdict:
The Eyelighter 3 is a smart investment for portrait photographers who want reliable, repeatable clamshell lighting without overcomplicating their setup. It solves the common problem of uneven or awkward catchlights by matching the natural curve of the eye, and the included fabrics give you genuine flexibility in look and mood. If you often work with a single light and want a polished, professional finish straight out of camera, this is a tool that earns its place in the studio.
