26 inch Mid-Size Ambient Soft Light
The 26-inch Lantern hits the sweet spot, delivering substantial omnidirectional output across a 270 degree beam angle without the bulk of larger diffusers. It produces a soft, wrapping ambient light that flatters skin and fills a set evenly.
Natural Wrap-Around Quality
The omnidirectional output with one-stop fabric diffusion is ideal for portraits, product and ambient fill applications. The light wraps naturally around your subject, mimicking the look of a large practical source, and the removable four-section skirt lets you shape and control spill.
Universal Bowens Mount
The Lantern fits any Bowens-mount fixture, so it drops straight onto your existing Aputure lights and most third-party heads. The tension-based frame pops open in seconds and packs down to 835mm, making it an easy, flexible addition to a studio or location kit.
