Nanlite Asymmetric Softbox of 45x110cm

Nanlite Asymmetric Stripbank Softbox 45x110cm – Wedge Shape for Feathered Light Fall-Off

The Nanlite Asymmetrical Stripbank Softbox (45x110cm) softens light and creates a controlled, feathered fall-off to one side thanks to its wedge-shaped design. It shapes a narrow strip of illumination while limiting spill, making it a practical modifier for interviews, portraits, and other situations that call for directional soft light.

Use cases and practical guidance

Use this softbox when you need a narrow, soft source of light that maintains directionality. For example, place it to one side for talking head interviews to produce a pleasing feathered edge, or use it to model facial features in portraiture. Because of its wedge form, it fits comfortably into tighter shooting environments where a traditional rectangular softbox might be cumbersome.

Mount the softbox via the included Bowens Style Speed Ring to Nanlite Forza series heads or other compatible LED, strobe, and continuous lights that accept Bowens-style modifiers. If you need even more control, add the optional fabric grid via the touch-fasteners to tighten the beam and reduce spill.
