The Nanlite Lantern 80 Easy-Up Softbox is designed for photographers and videographers seeking to quickly create soft, diffused, and omnidirectional light. Its key benefit is the ability to flood a space with even illumination, mimicking the desirable quality of traditional Chinese lanterns with modern portability. A potential caveat is its size, requiring adequate space for optimal diffusion.

It's ideal for creating soft, ambient, and omnidirectional light, making it perfect for overhead lighting, filling a room with light, or providing a flattering key light.
Ensure the release buttons on the speed ring are fully depressed. Check that the rods are properly seated in their slots before attempting to release.
Verify the light source is centered within the softbox. Ensure the diffusion fabric is properly attached and smooth. Consider using the included light control skirts to manage light spill.
Confirm your light fixture has a Bowens style mount. Ensure the mount on the softbox and your light are clean and free of debris.
Setup:
The Lantern 80 features an Easy-Up speed ring. To set up, insert the rods into the corresponding slots on the speed ring. The spring-loaded mechanism will lock them into place. To collapse, simply press the release button on the speed ring for each rod.
Compatibility:
This softbox utilizes a Bowens style mount, making it compatible with a wide array of LED continuous lights and strobes that feature the same mount, including Nanlite's Forza series (Forza 300/500) and many other brands.
Care:
To clean the diffusion fabric, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Store the softbox in its included carry bag when not in use to protect it from dust and damage. Ensure the fabric is completely dry before storing.
