The Nanlite Strip Softbox 140 x 30CM creates a controlled, feathering light ideal for rim lighting, side-lighting and hair-lighting in portraiture. Because of its long, narrow shape and heat-resistant materials, it also works well for up-lighting backgrounds and for use with continuous lighting in tight spaces.
Below, find a clearer explanation of how these features translate to practical use.
Because the softbox is long and narrow, you can position it to produce clean rim and side lighting that separates subjects from backgrounds. In addition, the narrow beam shapes hair-light and highlights edges without spilling light across the entire scene.
Moreover, the high-temperature reflective fabric provides excellent reflectance and helps produce an even light output. Therefore, the softbox suits continuous lighting applications where higher heat tolerance matters. When you must work in tight or narrow areas, the strip design allows easier placement and more precise control of light direction.
Finally, the front margin design helps you control and feather the light more easily. You can also choose the optional fabric eggcrate and strip to further narrow and shape the beam for more precise lighting control.
The softbox uses metal supports for a tough, durable frame. As a result, it maintains its shape and alignment during repeated setup and use. The combination of sturdy supports and heat-resistant inner fabric ensures reliable performance with continuous light sources.
This softbox is compatible with Bowens mount lights, including Nanlite Forza 300 and Forza 500, as well as other lights that use the Bowens mount.
