Product Information
Full details
The Hahnel Module Creative Lantern Kit is designed for photographers seeking to add creative color and soft light to portraits and other subjects. Its key benefit is the ability to easily combine diffused light with vibrant color gels for unique effects. A potential consideration is that it requires a compatible light source with a filter adapter system.

FAQs
What type of light sources is this kit compatible with?
The kit is designed to work with light sources that can accommodate the Hahnel filter adapter. It's best to check the specifications of your light source or consult Hahnel's compatibility list.
How do I achieve a softer light?
The primary component for softening light is the lantern diffuser. Ensure it is correctly attached and positioned over your light source.
Can I use my own color gels?
The kit is designed for the included Hahnel gels. While some third-party gels of similar size might fit, performance and secure attachment are not guaranteed.
Is the kit suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the compact and portable nature of the kit makes it suitable for outdoor use, provided you have a portable and compatible light source.
How many color gels are included?
The kit includes six color gel filters: green, blue, purple, red, orange, and yellow.
What is the main purpose of the filter adapter?
The filter adapter allows for the easy and secure mounting of the color gels and the lantern diffuser onto your light source.
Troubleshooting
Diffuser or gels do not attach securely
Ensure the filter adapter is properly secured to the light source and that the diffuser and gels are correctly seated within the adapter's mounting points.
Light output is not soft enough
Verify that the lantern diffuser is fully extended and properly covering the light source. Ensure there are no obstructions between the light source and the diffuser.
Color gels are scratched or damaged
Handle gels with care. If a gel is significantly damaged, consider replacing it. Store them in their protective wallet when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up, first attach the filter adapter to your compatible light source. Then, slide the desired color gel into the designated slot on the adapter. Finally, attach the lantern diffuser over the gel and adapter. Ensure all components are securely in place before powering on your light.
Compatibility: This kit is designed to work with light sources that accept the Hahnel filter adapter system. Please verify compatibility with your specific strobe, LED panel, or speedlight if they do not have a native filter mounting system.
Care: Keep the diffuser and gels clean by wiping them gently with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Store all components securely in the provided wallet to prevent scratches and loss, especially the color gels.
