2 x Softbox Octa 90 cm Lamps, 65 W

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, cumbersome Kinoflo lamps. The softbox's task is to soften the light, thereby reducing or eliminating 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 the lamps provides immediate, noticeable improvement in shot quality.

The softbox dome - an octagon (octa) with a diameter of 90 cm - is lined on the inside with embossed, silver material: light is evenly distributed within the softbox, ensuring that the front diffuser maintains uniform strength across its entire surface without any weakening in intensity from the center to the edges. The outside of the softbox is matte black, preventing it from reflecting light from other lamps. It has a standard mounting for a lighting stand.

Folding and unfolding is exceptionally simple, and when folded, the softbox takes up very little space. The high quality materials used in the construction of the softbox guarantee trouble-free operation for years. Designed and manufactured to ensure safe use with fluorescent bulbs. The fixture used 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 sets. It works perfectly in a configuration with flash and continuous light lamps, softboxes, RedHead halogen lamps.

The PureLight series fluorescent lamp 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 light. 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 fixtures and partially closed ones (softboxes, diffusers, okty). The luminous power of the 65W bulb corresponds to a 325W halogen lamp. Color rendering coefficient Ra > 91.

Can I use softboxes for filming?

Absolutely. Recently, we have been observing more and more often the penetration of applications reserved for photography into the world of film. The SOFTBOX OCTA 90cm constant light fixture is an excellent alternative to budget panel lamp versions (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 looking at the shape of reflections on reflective surfaces. This is especially noticeable in portrait and fashion photography - the circular-like shape of the octagon imitates 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 people or objects, right on the edge of the frame.
• The larger the diameter of the softbox, the softer the tonal transition between light and shadow.
• If you need to shine from a long distance - remove the diffusive fabric. This will give you even more light.
