Diffused light is what I'm going for, so the white is alright. I actually have a convex mirror that is attached underneath the CD spindle cover facing the strobe head. Hopefully that forces more light out of the unit.

Thanks! It was an interesting project, still need to learn how to use it properly.

For those interested, I improvised on instructions from here: http://davidtejada.blogspot.com/2008...or-sb-800.html
-One of the main problems that I had was locating a proper "dish". All the planters I could find did not flatten out as much as I would like them to. All with very high walls and probably not as diffused as I would have liked the light to become after it becomes modified.
