Step 4Prepping diffusion holders
If you have purchased clear makeup pots, paint them to prevent light from leaking out the sides. (I used silver paint for aesthetic reasons.) Be sure to mask off threads on bottom of each pot before spraying.
On base of each pot, drill a hole in the center to snuggly fit your barrel nut.
Drill a second hole 3/16" away from center hole; these holes will align with the second holes drilled on the frame for threading the wire.
Cut one-inch circles out of diffusion of your choice. In addition, Precut screens can be ordered to cut the amount of light... just like with studio lights.
Next, cut small one-inch discs of the diffusion of your choice. It's best to pick one that will soften the light but not cut it down too much. You can also do the same thing wth colored gels in the event you wish to add some color to your close-up lighting scheme.
