LANTERN

Aputure's Chip-on-Board LEDs shine because of their versatility, and ability to create hard or soft light simply by using different lighting modifiers. With the recent release of the Fresnel 2X and the Spotlight Mount, for intensifying and shaping hard light, we decided it was time to introduce an easier way to shape your soft light too.
The Aputure Lantern is one of our fastest soft light modifiers yet. This spherical softbox can pop open and be ready to use in mere seconds. As filmmakers, you need to move fast, and your lighting shouldn't get in your way. With the Lantern will you'll be able to produce soft even light wherever your shoots may take you.
Light up the entire room. By utilizing a 26" spherical design, the Lantern spreads the light from your LED or Studio Stobe in all directions with a 270° beam angle. Now you can fill an entire space with soft, even light with just a single light source.
To create cinematic depth, you need to be able to control your light, so we wanted to take the spherical lantern design one step further. The Aputure Lantern is one of the only spherical softboxes on the market with a 4-section fully adjustable light control skirt. By using a hook-and-loop design, the removable skirts can attach in any position, to quickly and precisely control your soft light. You can roll the skirt up or down to flag off unwanted light.
With the ability to fit onto any Bowens mount Studio Strobe or LED fixtures, such as our 120d or 300d series lights, the Lantern is the perfect photo or video accessory for casting soft light over a wide area, while still maintaining control.
