Product Information

Full details

The Amaran 12x48" Rectangular Light Box is an ideal tool for studio photographers and videographers who need precise, controlled lighting for portraits and full-body shots. Its primary strength lies in its rapid one-snap setup, which allows creators to spend less time assembling gear and more time shooting; however, its long, narrow form factor requires a larger footprint in the studio compared to compact square softboxes.

FAQs

Does this light box come with a grid?

Yes, a control grid is included in the package to help you direct the light and add depth.

Is this compatible with non-Amaran lights?

The light box is compatible with any lighting fixture that utilizes a standard Bowens Mount.

Can I use this for outdoor shoots?

Yes, its portable, collapsible design makes it a great choice for location work, provided it is used in low-wind conditions.

How do I store the softbox when not in use?

It collapses into a slim, flat profile that fits easily into the included carrying bag.

Is the inner baffle removable?

Yes, the inner baffle can be removed or attached depending on how much diffusion you need for your specific shot.

Troubleshooting

The softbox rods are not locking into place

Ensure the speed ring handle is fully pulled until you hear or feel a firm click indicating the tension is locked.

Light is leaking from the edges

Check that the diffusion cloth and inner baffle are properly secured to the velcro strips along the interior perimeter of the softbox.

The light box feels unstable on the light stand

Verify that the Bowens Mount locking mechanism is fully tightened and that your light stand is correctly counterweighted for the weight of the modifier.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Extremely fast one-second setup
Provides professional-quality edge lighting
Includes essential light modifiers (baffle, diffusion, grid)
Collapsible, slim design for easy storage
High compatibility with Bowens Mount lights

Cons

Narrow shape may not be suitable for wide-area wash lighting
Requires more physical studio space due to its 48-inch length
Specific beam shape requires careful positioning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, simply hold the speed ring and pull the handle until the rods lock into place. To disassemble, release the tension mechanism and fold the frame down to its flat state. Always ensure the light box is securely locked into your fixture's Bowens Mount before turning on your light. To maintain the life of the softbox, store it in the provided carrying bag when not in use and avoid bending the internal rods under excessive pressure. Keep the diffusion cloths and grid clean by gently dusting them; do not machine wash or use harsh detergents on the fabric components.
