Product Information

Full details

The Aputure Space Light is a versatile modifier for photographers, filmmakers, and videographers seeking to transform point-source COB LED lights into a soft, wide, and evenly distributed light. Its primary benefit is creating a flattering overhead light or a broad ambient fill. However, its effectiveness is tied to the light source it's paired with, and it requires sufficient space for optimal diffusion.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of the Aputure Space Light?

The Aputure Space Light is designed to transform a hard, point-source LED light into a soft, wide, and evenly distributed light source, ideal for flattering illumination.

What lights is the Space Light compatible with?

It is compatible with Aputure Light Storm and amaran COB series lights, as well as any other LED light featuring a Bowens mount.

Does the Space Light come with a skirt?

Yes, it includes a detachable and adjustable light control skirt to help manage light spill and direction.

How durable is the Space Light?

It is constructed from a military-grade nylon fabric, similar to that used in parachutes, making it very durable and resilient.

Can I use the Space Light with non-Aputure lights?

Yes, as long as the light fixture has a standard Bowens mount, the Space Light can be attached and used.

What are the dimensions of the Space Light?

The Space Light measures approximately 723 mm (28.5 inches) in height and 460 mm (18.1 inches) in width/diameter.

Is the reflector included?

Yes, a detachable side reflector is included to provide additional options for light shaping and control.

How easy is it to transport?

It is designed to be lightweight and folds down compactly, making it easy to transport to different locations.

Troubleshooting

Light is not evenly diffused.

Ensure the Space Light is fully opened and the fabric is taut. Check that the light source is centered within the modifier. Adjust the light control skirt if necessary.

Modifier is difficult to set up or fold.

Gently unfold the fabric, allowing the internal structure to guide its shape. Refer to the included manual for specific folding instructions, which often involve a specific rotation and compression technique.

Light appears to be spilling excessively.

Utilize the adjustable light control skirt. Lowering the skirt will help contain the light and direct it downwards or inwards, reducing unwanted spill.

Fabric appears creased or misshapen.

Hang the Space Light for a short period; gravity will often help smooth out minor creases. Avoid sharp folds during storage. For stubborn creases, a very low-heat steamer held at a distance might be used cautiously, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

To clean the Space Light, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the fabric. Ensure the modifier is completely dry before storing it to prevent mold or mildew. Store it in its carrying bag to protect it from dust and damage.
