Product Information
Full details
The Profoto Softbox 4x6 Silver is an ideal lighting modifier for professional portrait, fashion, and commercial photographers who require broad, flattering illumination. Its silver interior provides high-output reflection, while the modular design allows for significant control over light softness and intensity. While its large rectangular footprint delivers excellent light coverage, the sheer size of the modifier means it is best suited for larger studio spaces rather than tight, cramped environments.

FAQs
Is this softbox suitable for continuous LED lights?
Yes, the Profoto Softbox is constructed with heat-resistant materials specifically designed to handle the thermal output of LED lighting.
Can I use this with non-Profoto lights?
The integrated mount is designed for Profoto 100mm heads; using it with other systems would require an adapter that may not be supported.
Does it come with a grid?
The softbox includes the main unit and diffuser. Compatible grids are sold separately as accessories that attach via the integrated fasteners.
How do I clean the interior silver lining?
Use a soft, dry cloth to dust the interior. Avoid using chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that could strip the reflective coating.
Is this too big for home studio use?
It depends on your ceiling height and wall space. While it is excellent for coverage, ensure you have enough clearance for the 4x6 footprint and the stand assembly.
Troubleshooting
Softbox will not lock into the open position
Check that the internal tension rods are not obstructed and ensure the center ring is fully seated.
Light is spilling onto the background too much
Ensure the recessed front diffuser is correctly seated and consider adding a compatible fabric grid to narrow the light beam.
Diffuser fabric is sagging
Re-align the front diffuser edges with the fastener strips to pull the fabric taut across the face of the box.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is streamlined via the all-in-one mount system. Simply expand the softbox until it clicks into place and secure it to your Profoto 100mm flash head or LED light. To attach the front diffuser, align the edges with the fastener strips around the perimeter.
Compatibility: This unit is compatible with all Profoto 100mm light heads. Always ensure you are using an appropriate heavy-duty light stand given the size and wind-catching potential of this modifier.
Care: After use, gently wipe the interior with a dry cloth to remove dust. When breaking down the unit, ensure the fabric is dry before storing it in the included labeled carrying bag. Avoid folding the softbox while it is still hot from continuous LED use.
