Hi,
I just bought a studio lighting kit. May I know what is the purpose of a honeycomb.

similar to a snoot, it concentrates the light to a smaller point. it has a softer edge than snoot if i am not wrong.

a concentrated hard light with a soft edge, simple as that.
if you are referring to those attach on a softbox, is actually call louver.Or, if used in front of a soft-box, it can create a soft light with a more defined, but not hard edge. :bsmilie:
Yeah. but hardly anyone knows about louvers, or even heard of them.
The younger ones would probably be a bit more familiar with a newer thingy usually called an 'egg-crate'. Greatest advantage of this design is that it's soft, no-frame fitting usually attached by velcro so it folds and stores much more easily than louvers.

Woah the egg-crate is cool stuff. It was a pain transporting the old grid/honeycomb to use with Kino-Flo lights (I'm sure you're familiar with that right? Haha.)
