There is now a huge range of lighting modifiers available, some quite inexpensively. I've noticed, though, that the color temp of the modifiers varies a fair bit. My Speedotron reflectors, Photoflex, Fotodiox 32" beauty dish and strip lights are all very close to 5K, although the big strip boxes go a little blue near the ends. My 8x36" LA softbox strip lights, a Fotodiox 48" Octobox, and a small octobox require a 1/4 CTO filter to match the other light sources. Of course for BW none of this matters much, but if you're shooting color, you might want to check whether your modifiers vary.
