Product Information
Full details
The Amaran Light Box 60x90 is a versatile rectangular softbox engineered for portrait photographers, commercial videographers, and studio creators who require rapid lighting setups without compromising on professional light quality. It excels at delivering soft, directional illumination through its 60x90cm surface area, though users should note that while it is highly portable, it is specifically optimized for Bowens-mount fixtures up to 600W and may not fit alternative mounting systems without an adapter.

FAQs
Is this softbox compatible with non-Amaran lights?
Yes, it is compatible with any lighting fixture that utilizes a standard Bowens-mount system, provided the power output does not exceed 600W.
Does this include a carrying case?
Yes, the product is designed for portability and comes with storage solutions suitable for its flat-pack design.
Can I use this with a light stronger than 600W?
It is not recommended, as the materials and structural design are specifically rated for fixtures up to 600W.
What is the primary benefit of the rectangular shape?
The rectangular shape is ideal for vertical portraiture and side-lighting, providing a broader, more controlled throw compared to circular modifiers.
How do I attach the grid?
The grid uses touch-fastener strips along the interior edge of the softbox, allowing it to be pressed firmly into place once the unit is assembled.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty snapping the locking system into place
Ensure the speed ring is properly aligned and clear of any fabric obstructions that might catch in the locking mechanism.
Softbox feels loose on the light mount
Double-check that the Bowens-mount pins are fully engaged and that the release latch has returned to its locked position.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely fast setup and teardown process
- Generous softbox surface area for flattering light
- High-quality build suitable for lights up to 600W
- Compact flat-pack design is excellent for mobile studios
- Includes essential grid and diffusion accessories
Cons
- Limited to Bowens-mount fixtures only
- Not intended for lights exceeding 600W

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the softbox, place the speed ring on your compatible Bowens-mount fixture and snap the rods into place using the integrated locking system. Ensure the lock clicks securely before mounting your light overhead. To maintain the life of the materials, keep the diffusion fabrics clean by wiping them gently with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth; do not submerge the grid or diffusion panels in water. Store the unit in its included bag when flat-packed to prevent punctures to the reflective interior lining.
