You're right to a degree. If you consider only one of the cells of the grid, there is less source light available to be projected onto the target — the target "sees" a much smaller part of the light source through each of the cells if the cell diameter is smaller. At the same time, though, you are increasing the number of cells visible at the centre of the ...

Yes, with the black straws, it is going to absorb most of the light that does not go directly through the straws. The smaller in diameter the straws, the more direct the light has to be traveling to get through and the more light will be absorbed.
If the straws were white, it would actually get brighter as the reflected light would be more focused, but it ...

I see an equal number of red, green, and blue dots - meaning if you looked at this from sufficient distance, just like looking at TV pixels, this umbrella is really GRAY. Any reflected light from it is also going to be essentially gray unless it's focused as it is in the picture. Meaning the reflection from this will be white light with an equal amount of ...

Optically, all this should do is reduce the output power of the flash. The filters on the sensor itself are going to make it so you only get the red green and blue on each pixel. This device would just absorb a bunch of the light that could reach the subject. For example, some of the light to bounce off a red part is going to reach a blue sensor and not ...
