Panolux™ Lighting Lamp

✅ 60 cm Softbox

✅ 200 cm Stand

✅ 85W LED Bulb

Are you looking for a convenient photo-video studio lighting setup at a good price? The Panolux™ series offers ready-to-use constant light setups based on an integrated softbox lighting fixture, a lighting stand, and a specialized new generation LED bulb with neutral light color.

A softbox is a type of lighting commonly used in photography and filming. It serves as a special light source designed to provide soft, even, and balanced illumination for objects or models. The softbox consists of a light-reflecting dome with either a flash lamp or continuous light mounted inside.

The primary function of a softbox is to diffuse light, eliminating harsh shadows that may occur when using direct light sources like camera flashes. This allows photographers and filmmakers to achieve more gentle and natural lighting effects, especially when capturing portraits or product photography.

Softboxes are widely used in photographic studios and come in various sizes and shapes.

What can you use it for:

☑️ Main or supplementary light in portraits

☑️ Supplementary light in nudes and fashion photography

☑️ Supplementary light in wider frames

☑️ Children's photography

☑️ Product photography

☑️ Film studio, film set (close-ups, interviews)

✅ Octagonal Softbox 60 cm

The high-quality SOFTBOX fixture integrated with an E27 socket is ideal for both flash bulbs and continuous light bulbs. The dome has been finished inside with silver material, ensuring optimal light diffusion. The softbox lamp provides even distribution of light throughout the interior while maintaining consistent power on the diffuser surface.

The matte black outer surface of the softbox effectively eliminates reflections from other lamps, making it an ideal tool for professional photography. The process of unfolding and folding is extremely simple, and when folded, the softbox takes up minimal space, facilitating storage and transportation.

Unfolding/Folding of this softbox is exceptionally easy, and when folded, it occupies little space and is highly mobile. The high-quality materials used in the softbox guarantee trouble-free operation for years. They are designed and manufactured to ensure safe use with bulbs.

An advanced height adjustment mechanism allows you to adapt the stand to different scenarios, enabling work at varying levels. The stand is easy to operate thanks to its quick and smooth height adjustment, speeding up preparation before the session.

The CGLS-801 stand remains stable even under heavier loads, making it an indispensable tool in a photographic studio or during outdoor sessions. Its sturdy construction ensures that lighting equipment will be safe and stable throughout the entire work process.

This model also stands out for its compact size when folded, facilitating storage and transportation. The foldable CGLS-801 stand takes up minimal space, making it an ideal travel companion for professionals who often work on location.

✅ Photo Bulb (85W/5500K)

New Generation Photographic Bulb

Advanced LED bulbs Ignitix™ combine excellent quality with energy efficiency. Thanks to innovative technology, they offer incredibly even and natural light, replacing traditional 85W bulbs while consuming impressively low amounts of energy at a maximum of 25W. Their eco-friendly nature makes them environmentally friendly while also contributing to lower electricity costs.

Ignitix™ stand out for their long lifespan, eliminating the need for frequent bulb replacements. Additionally, due to their high energy efficiency, they reduce carbon dioxide emissions. They are compatible with various types of fixtures, making it easy to integrate them into existing softboxes. These bulbs emit light at a color temperature that reproduces colors naturally, which is extremely important when working on artistic, portrait, or product photography.

Can I use a softbox for filming?

Absolutely. Recently, we've been observing an increasing overlap of applications reserved for photography in the world of film. The constant light fixture SOFTBOX OCTA 60cm serves as an excellent alternative to budget-friendly panel lamp versions (so-called kinoflo). The cost of such a solution is significantly lower, yet it achieves the same effect.

What sets an octagonal softbox apart from a rectangular one?

The difference that's easiest to spot is the shape of reflections on reflective surfaces. This is particularly noticeable in portrait and fashion photography - the octagonal shape resembling a circle mimics solar reflections. Octagonal softboxes also feature better light distribution (especially when lighting from the front).

What should you keep in mind?

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