Product Information

Full details

The Amaran Lantern for F21 is an essential light modifier for videographers and content creators who use the Amaran F21x or F21c flexible LED panels and need to achieve soft, omnidirectional ambient lighting. By transforming the flat light source into a volumetric dome, it excels at providing even fill for large rooms or overhead setups; however, it is specifically optimized for the F21 series and is not compatible with other panel sizes, making it a specialized tool for existing Amaran ecosystem users.

FAQs

Does this work with the Amaran F22 or F24 lights?

No, the lantern is designed specifically for the F21 series.

Does the lantern come with a carrying bag?

Yes, a convenient carrying bag is included for easy transport.

Can I use the lantern without the diffusion cloth?

While technically possible, the lantern is designed to be used with the included 2.5 stop diffusion for soft, professional results.

How much does the lantern weigh?

The modifier weighs 723g (approximately 1.59 lbs).

What is the purpose of the fabric skirt?

The skirt allows for independent rolling to control light directionality and minimize light spill.

Is the light control skirt removable?

Yes, the skirt is removable depending on whether you need maximum omnidirectional output or directional control.

Troubleshooting

The light output appears uneven or 'hot spotted'.

Ensure the diffusion cloth is stretched evenly across the lantern frame and that no internal fabric is bunched up.

The hook-and-loop straps are not holding the lantern securely.

Check the straps for dust or debris; cleaning the hook-and-loop surface will restore its grip.

Light is spilling onto the background against my preference.

Adjust the position of the removable fabric light control skirt to block light output in the direction of the spill.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Extremely lightweight at 723g
Rapid setup with hook-and-loop fasteners
Effective spill control via the adjustable skirt
Provides beautiful, soft omnidirectional illumination
Includes a convenient carrying bag for transport

Cons

Compatible only with F21x and F21c models
Cannot be used as a standalone light source
Requires careful folding to avoid permanent creasing of diffusion material

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This modifier is designed exclusively for the Amaran F21x and F21c flexible LED mats.
Setup: Simply unfold the lantern and attach it to the existing mounting points on the frame of your F21 light using the integrated hook-and-loop straps. Ensure the fabric is pulled taut for consistent light distribution.
Skirt Adjustment: Use the rollable fabric skirt to mask specific sides of the lantern if you want to block light from reaching a specific corner of your set.
Care: When not in use, ensure the diffusion cloth is clean and dry before storing it in the provided carrying bag. Avoid leaving the light on for extended periods at maximum intensity if the enclosure is fully sealed, as heat management is important for longevity.
