Nanlite T2 adapter for striplight – long, narrow softbox for rim, side and hair lighting

This Nanlite T2 strip softbox uses a long, narrow shape to create controlled rim and side lighting. Its design suits portrait work, hair-lighting and subtle background uplighting. The product uses materials and construction intended for continuous lighting and for use in tighter shooting spaces.

Design and intended uses

The strip softbox is normally used as rim lighting. Its long, narrow form produces soft, feathering light that works well as a rim or side light in portraiture. You can also use it for hair-lighting and for up-lighting backgrounds.

Because of its shape, the softbox fits well in narrow areas, allowing you to place it where larger modifiers would not fit. This makes it practical for tight studio corners, small stages, or compact on-location setups.

Materials and construction

The softbox features high temperature reflective fabric. This material provides excellent light reflectance and produces an even output across the strip. The fabric’s high-temperature rating makes the softbox suitable for continuous lighting applications.

It also uses a metal support design that ensures the structure is tough and durable. The front edge is designed with a margin to help you control the spread and direction of the light more easily.

Light shaping and accessories

Use the softbox to create soft, feathering light that forms a clean rim around your subject. For more precise control, use the optional fabric eggcrate and strip. These accessories help shape the output and reduce spill, delivering tighter, more focused illumination when needed.
