Product Information

Full details

The Amaran Lantern 90 is a versatile 3-foot spherical softbox designed for videographers and photographers who need broad, 360-degree ambient illumination to fill large studio spaces or enhance interview setups. It excels at turning harsh point-source LED light into a soft, natural glow with ease, though its large 90cm diameter may require significant clearance in cramped indoor environments.

FAQs

Is the Amaran Lantern 90 compatible with non-Amaran lights?

Yes, as long as the light fixture features a standard Bowens Mount and does not exceed 600W.

Can I use this outdoors?

Yes, but due to its large surface area, it acts as a sail in windy conditions. Use heavy-duty sandbags on your stand.

How large is the lantern when packed?

The lantern is designed for portability, though it retains its 90cm width when built. It collapses down significantly for easy storage in the included bag.

Is the diffuser fabric removable?

The exterior diffuser is designed as part of the lantern structure; it is not intended to be swapped for other types of modifiers.

What is the weight of the unit?

The unit weighs approximately 900g, making it lightweight for its size class.

Troubleshooting

Lantern ribs failing to lock into position

Ensure the center hub is pushed fully into the locking track and check for fabric obstructions in the frame mechanism.

Fixture feels unstable when mounted

Verify that the Bowens Mount locking pins are fully engaged and consider using a counterweight on the light stand to balance the size of the modifier.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Rapid setup and teardown for efficient on-set workflows
High-quality, soft ambient illumination
Wide compatibility with industry-standard Bowens Mounts
Lightweight and highly portable for location work

Cons

Large footprint requires substantial overhead space
Not suitable for tightly controlled or highly directional lighting
Storage footprint is larger than standard strip boxes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To assemble, press the internal ribs until the lantern snaps into its locked spherical shape. Slide it onto your light fixture's Bowens Mount and rotate until it clicks securely.

Compatibility: Compatible with fixtures up to 600W using the Bowens standard.
Care: Keep the diffuser material away from sharp objects to prevent tears. If the fabric becomes dusty, gently wipe it with a dry microfiber cloth. Always store the lantern in its provided carrying bag when not in use to maintain the integrity of the tension frame.
