Nanlite LT-FMM-60 Lantern softbox 60cm with FM Mount ( LT-FZ60)

Nanlite LT-FMM-60 Lantern Softbox 60cm – 270° omnidirectional soft light

The Nanlite LT-FMM-60 Lantern Softbox delivers soft, even illumination in every direction. Designed for overhead use or to raise the general ambient light level on a set, this lantern-style softbox blends the omnidirectional quality of traditional "China Balls" with the durability and portability of a modern softbox.

Fill the room with soft, even light

With an 18" spherical design, the LT-FMM-60 provides a broad 270° beam angle. As a result, it spreads light in nearly all directions to evenly illuminate backgrounds, ceilings, and wide areas of a set. Use it to create natural-looking ambient fills or to reduce harsh shadows when lighting subjects from above.

Extra control with light-control skirts

Each lantern softbox includes a set of light-control skirts. You can attach these skirts quickly to limit the 270° spread when needed. Additionally, the skirts roll up or down to act as flags and prevent unwanted light spill. This gives you flexible, on-the-fly control over how much and where the soft light reaches.

FM mount plus Bowens-style speed ring for broad compatibility

The LT-FMM-60 ships with an FM mount and a Bowens-style speed ring. The FM mount is created for compatibility with Nanlite Forza monolights, while the Bowens-style mount expands compatibility to an extensive range of LED, strobe, and constant lights. Therefore, you can use this lantern with a wide variety of fixtures beyond Nanlite models.

Designed for Nanlite Forza models

The lantern softbox is created to work with Nanlite's Forza series and is explicitly compatible with Forza 60B, 60, 69, and 150 LED monolights, as mentioned in the product information. Including both FM and Bowens mounts makes it straightforward to pair this softbox with these Forza units or other lights that accept Bowens-style speed rings.
