Simple and compact, yet incredibly effective, the Lightsphere Universal is sureto be one of the “must have” accessories in your gear bag. It will transform theway you use your on-camera flash. The Lightsphere Universal accepts existing Lightsphere accessory domes the AmberDome and the ChromeDome - for even greater functionality.

The CLEAR model gives you flattering light at a greater working distance
Customer feedback:
1. The Gary Fong Lightsphere Cloud Universal System is great. You are able to use it on any flash. With several different cameras, I do not have to mess around with a light diffuser for each camera. I love this product. It really takes the “blunt” light away and illuminates wonderfully.
If you are looking for something that can be packed away in a tight space, this is not the product. It is hard plastic. I run the strap of my camera bag though it and store the dome in the bag. Easy to get to and you will always know you have it with your camera. I love this and would recommend it to anyone looking for a superior diffuser.
2. First the “bad” news. The price seems a bit high considering it is basically a piece of plastic. That is the only reason I’ve given it four stars rather than five. Now the good news; it does exactly what Gary Fong says it will do. The DVD that comes with it, while being a commercial for other Gary Fong products also does an excellent job of explaining how to use it. The quality of light is excellent. The removable top cap allows bouncing off ceilings as well.
I’ve used it for both portraits and macro photography and the results are superb. For portrait work exclusively I would recommend the clear Lightsphere. Highly recommended.
