Lighting

The Aputure Lantern 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 you’ll be able to produce soft, even light wherever your shoots may take you.

The Aputure Lantern 90 is an omnidirectional soft light modifier spanning 90cm or 3 feet in diameter. Building upon the same design as the classic Aputure Lantern, the Lantern 90 pairs the same quick-build system with an even larger surface area to provide an even softer volumetric lighting solution. At 90cm, the Lantern 90 has the same diameter as Aputure’s Light Dome II modifier, with even more diffused surface area, allowing the Lantern to instantly light up large spaces. The lantern design also remains one of the fastest soft light modifiers to set up, making it perfect for fast-paced shoots, whether used as a key light or an ambient fill light. The Lantern 90 also matches the original Lantern by being one of the only omnidirectional modifiers on the market to include a fully adjustable hook-and-loop fabric light control skirt, making eliminating light spill incredibly simple. With its Bowens Mount, the Lantern pairs well with the high output Point Source lights, like the Aputure LS 600d Pro, as well as all of Aputure’s other Bowens Mount lighting fixtures, including the LS C300d II, LS 300x, and LS C120d II.

Highly compact and portable, the Light Box 45×45 from Aputure is a square-shaped, 45 x 45cm softbox that is ideal for creators, photographers, and filmmakers. This versatile light shaping tool is able to fit in tight spaces while rendering a soft, flattering quality of light. Created to be compatible with a wide array of Aputure and amaran LED lights, the light box includes a Bowens mount speed ring adapter. It can be used with the LS 300d II, LS 300x, COB 60d, COB 60x models as well as with the COB 100/200 series. Useful for all types of content creation, from portrait to product photography, this modifier transforms hard point-source LEDs into simple and effective soft lights.

The softbox comes with 1.5- and 2.5-stop removable diffusers that can be used for softening the light’s output in different levels. For further directional control, a 45° fabric grid is included so you can light specific areas of your subject. Its four-rod design makes it easy to set up and break down. Lightweight at 0.86 kg, it packs flat into the supplied carry bag for on-the-go content creation, livestreaming, and photography.

The Light Box 30cm x 120cm from Aputure is a softbox that mounts onto any light with a Bowens mount. It features a narrow, rectangular design so it can be used as a soft edge light or for reflections, and it can be tucked into corners and locations where larger softboxes are not able to fit. It can be a solution for corporate and broadcast work to create a soft and flattering light with open shadows.

The softbox comes with 1.5-stop and 2.5-stop removable diffusers, a 45° fabric grid, and it features a four-rod design that makes it easy to set up and break down. It is very lightweight and breaks down to fit into the included carry bag.

Armed with an upgraded dual-sided and foldable quick release mechanism, the Light Dome III from Aputure accelerates the set-up time for its 16-sided, point source-softening circular softbox, bringing professional, portrait-ready light to any shoot in mere seconds. The parabolic, hexadecanol structure of the Light Dome III is fortified by 16 durable steel support rods, which now snap into place with the downward press of its widely-compatible Bowens Mount bracket, saving valuable time on set. Its shape also promotes uniform light output distribution for soft, even light on any subject. The modifier features a silver interior to maximize the light source’s output and comes with an inner diffuser, 1.5-stop and 2.5-stop front diffusers, and a 40° fabric grid for further light-shaping capabilities.

The Aputure 120cm Light Octa Dome Softbox has eight sides to transform any point source Bowens-mount light fixture into an ultrasoft area light, blanketing your subject or set in diffused light. It has a large 120cm diameter and two front diffusers, plus an inner baffle to allow you to fine-tune intensity and light quality. The shape offers a balance between a square frame or a fully circular softbox. It is lightweight at 1.7kg and can be flat packed for on-the-go shooting. The OctaDome 120 features a silver interior to maximize light output and includes a foldable 45° grid to add directional output and reduce light spill. The set includes a Bowens-type speed ring, but is also compatible with other types of standard speed rings.
