The Chimera Medium Softbox 14x56" Silver Pro Plusis designed for use with a hot light or strobe. With fabric intended for the heat of a continuous light up to 1200 Watts, the Plus Strip comes standard with a silver interior and a recessed, removable front face, which provides more control of light than a box with a flush front.

The "plus" designation means the front face may be removed. A 1/2 or 1/4 strength fabric could be used instead, for slightly more light transmission and less of a softening effect.

Suitable for full length set-ups with children, or when a soft edge, or hair-light is needed for a small group of people.

Heat-resistant silver interior.

Required Speed (mounting) Rings are available separately for many manufacturers' strobes.
