2 x Softbox Octa 90cm Lamps, 125W

Softboxes are a basic element of a photographic studio. They are used to modify the properties of light: the size of the luminous surface, intensity and direction of light. They are gaining increasing popularity in video productions. An alternative to expensive and bulky Kinoflo lamps. The softbox's task is to soften the light, which reduces or eliminates shadows.

FlatLight™ Double lamps are an excellent source of light with a very wide range of applications. The large surface area of the modifiers guarantees a very soft distribution of light. Assembly and use of the lamps is incredibly simple, and the price - affordable for everyone. Using these lamps provides immediate and noticeable improvement in shot quality.

The softbox dome is an octagon (octa) with a diameter of 90 cm - the inside is lined with embossed, silver material: light is evenly distributed within the softbox, ensuring that the front diffuser maintains uniform power across its entire surface without any weakening towards the edges. The exterior of the softbox is matte black, preventing reflection of light from other lamps. It has a standard mounting for lighting stands.

Folding and unfolding is exceptionally easy, and when folded, the softbox takes up little space. The high quality materials used in its construction guarantee trouble-free operation for years. Designed and manufactured to ensure safe use with fluorescent bulbs. This fitting is a high-quality, functional softbox suitable for both flashbulbs and continuous light bulbs with an E27 thread.

Lightweight, studio and outdoor three-section lighting stand. Maximum height 200cm, working height 190 cm, convenient section clamps, 16mm studio head with universal thread 1/4". The stand is designed for use with small and medium lamps as well as lighting kits. It works perfectly in configurations with flash and continuous light lamps, softboxes, RedHead halogen lamps.

The PureLight series bulb generates light with a color ideal for photographic applications - it does not introduce any color distortions. Thanks to the natural rendering of colors, the bulb works perfectly among photographers working under continuous lighting conditions. Using constant lighting allows you to model light faster and better predict the final effect obtained in photos. The low power consumption enables the use of this bulb both in open fittings and partially closed ones (softboxes, diffusers, octas). The luminous power of the 125W bulb corresponds to a 600W halogen bulb. Color rendering index Ra > 91.

Can I use softboxes for filming?

Absolutely. Recently, we have been observing an increasing overlap of applications reserved for photography in the world of film. The SOFTBOX OCTA 90cm continuous light fitting is an excellent alternative to budget versions of panel lamps (so-called Kinoflo). The cost of such a solution is significantly lower while achieving the same effect.

What's the difference between octagonal and rectangular softboxes?

The easiest way to notice the difference is by observing the shape of reflections on reflective surfaces. This is particularly noticeable in portrait and fashion photography - the circular-like, octagonal shape mimics solar reflections. Octagonal softboxes also have a better light distribution (especially when lighting from the front).

What should you remember?

• Softboxes work best at short distances. Place them as close to the illuminated persons or objects, right on the edge of the frame.
• The larger the softbox diameter, the softer the tonal transition between light and shadow.
• If you need to illuminate from a long distance - remove the diffusive fabric. This will give you even more light.
