Full details

The Elinchrom Rotalux Squarebox 100cm is a professional-grade light modifier designed for studio photographers and location shooters who require rapid deployment and superior light quality. It provides a soft, evenly distributed light output suitable for portraiture and product photography while maintaining a compact, umbrella-style folding mechanism for easy transport.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this include the speedring?

No, the speedring is not included and must be purchased separately.

Can I use this with other brands of lights?

This softbox is specifically designed for the Elinchrom system; you will need the appropriate Elinchrom speedring for your specific light mount.

Is it suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, its umbrella-style folding makes it highly portable, but ensure you use sandbags as the 100cm surface area can catch wind easily.

What is the purpose of the internal diffuser?

The internal diffuser helps to eliminate hotspots from the flash tube, ensuring the light is evenly spread across the front diffusion panel.

How do I clean the fabric?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap to spot-clean the fabric; do not machine wash or use harsh chemicals.

Does it come with a carrying bag?

Yes, a professional carrying bag is included for storage and transport.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty collapsing the softbox

Ensure all tension locks are fully released and the central shaft is not obstructed before attempting to fold.

Light spill is too wide

Install an optional hooded diffuser or an compatible grid to focus the beam and reduce stray light.

Uneven light distribution

Check that both the internal and external diffusers are attached correctly and that the rods are tensioned evenly in the speedring.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Rapid setup and breakdown design
  • Excellent light distribution and softness
  • Compact portability for location shoots
  • High-quality, durable materials
  • Supports advanced light modifiers like deflectors and grids

Cons

  • Requires a separate speedring purchase
  • Larger 100cm footprint may be bulky for very small studios
  • Wing nut locking can require manual force compared to push-button systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To assemble the Rotalux, first ensure you have the correct Elinchrom speedring mounted to your light head. Insert the four rods into the speedring slots and secure them using the tension locks. Attach the internal diffuser first, followed by the external diffusion sheet for optimal performance. When moving, ensure the wing nuts are tightened to prevent the rod tension from shifting. For care, keep the diffusion fabric clean and store the softbox in the provided carrying bag to prevent creasing or damage to the reflective coating. Never force the folding mechanism; if it feels stuck, check for debris or misaligned rods.
