Snoot

A tube-like attachment that can be either shaped like a cone or cylinder and is designed to fit on the front of a flash unit or studio light. A snoot gives the photographer the ability to alter the direction and width of the light, allowing them to zero in on a particular subject and concentrate or isolate it.
