Made for use with LED or strobe fixtures, the Aputure Lantern 90 3ft Softbox Lighting Kitfrom Aputure Lantern 90 3ft Softbox Lighting Kitcasts a near 360° soft light that spreads evenly over a large area. You can mount it horizontally or hang it overhead on a boom to raise the ambient light level, open up shadows, and let more focused fixtures work their magic.

To add versatility to the lantern, Aputure includes a skirt to control the light. Using the skirt on all four sides limits the beam to a pool of soft light, while covering one side directs the light or creates a light-to-dark ratio to add dimension. The Lantern 90 has a Bowens speed ring for Aputure lights, but it can also be used on lights made by the many other manufacturers that employ this popular mount.

[Yes] Aputure never disappoints! 5

[7.7 lb] Used it on an indy feature instead of a traditional softbox. It had a nice light quality output, but make sure you use the drape, so you don't flood the room with too much light. 5

Karen	27/08/2024
[7.7 lb] This is my first softbox and it is just what I was looking for. Easy to use with the light I bought and creates exactly the type of soft, natural lighting I was looking for. It is incredibly easy to set up and take down (less than 10 seconds). And nice and sturdy. 5

Joel	19/08/2024
[Yes] Super quick setup and light control with the provided skirt. Ideal accessory for the light kit. 5

Kseniia	12/08/2024
[7.7 lb] The 90cm Lantern softbox provides excellent, even lighting, ideal for wide coverage and soft shadows. It's easy to set up and perfect for both video and photography. Highly recommended. 5

[7.7 lb] Got this lantern mainly to use for my night exteriors and works perfectly. The attachment for the lantern comes in handy for table top scenes as well. Highly recommend 5

Kevin	19/07/2024
[46 x 8 x 8"] This is hands down one of the best soft lighting fixtures you'll ever find. We have three Aputure lights with 3 of these Lanterns and it makes the entire set look perfect. The skirting that comes with it is a huge plus. You can direct the light however you want. Highly recommend. 5

[Yes] I've used the Lantern 90 on 300Cs for the past five months and have loved the result. Very easy to assemble in the field compared to older umbrella models from Aputure that I have used in the past. It's a great addition to the kit when needing to quickly light interviews. 5

[7.7 lb] I used Aputure Lanterns in school, and I loved how easy they were to use and the wonderful soft light they emit, so I bought one for myself! 5
