Aputure Lantern Softbox 2.2' Bowens Mount

SKU CH-SQXM-JJCM2

A 2.2-foot Bowens-mount lantern softbox that spreads light 270° and includes a skirt for controlling spill

  • 2-foot diameter spreads soft light across 270° for even room-filling illumination
  • Bowens mount fits Aputure 120d and 300d series plus other compatible lights
  • Included skirt adjusts light radius for precise cinematic control
  • Pops open in seconds for rapid on-location setup
  • Works with both LED panels and studio strobes for flexible workflow

Quick-Setup Soft Light

The Aputure Lantern Softbox is a 2.2-foot spherical modifier that mounts to any Bowens-compatible LED or strobe. It pops open in seconds and includes a carry case for fast location work. The 26-inch diameter produces a 270-degree beam spread that raises ambient illumination evenly across a set. A four-section skirt ships with the unit to limit the light radius when directional control is needed.

Suited For && Not Suited For

This softbox suits cinematographers and photographers who need an omni-directional fill source that rigs and strikes in moments. It works well for interview rigs, product tables and overhead rigs where wrap-around quality matters. Buyers who require a focused key light with sharp fall-off or a modifier that accepts a grid should look at other designs. The single stop of diffusion also limits its usefulness when heavy output reduction is the priority.

Bowens Mount Compatibility

The integrated Bowens mount fits Aputure 120d and 300d series fixtures and any other light using the same bayonet. No adapter is required for those heads. If your fixture uses a different mount pattern the softbox cannot attach directly.

Questions about this item

Does the 2.2-foot lantern fabric or the Bowens-mount speed-ring need periodic replacement?

The supplier lists no replacement schedule for the lantern fabric or the Bowens-mount ring; both are described as durable materials.

What stops the 270-degree beam spread from widening further during a long shoot?

The included four-section skirt attaches to the 26-inch sphere and limits the beam to the stated 270-degree spread.

How much heat builds up inside the 2.2-foot lantern when a 300d-series light runs all day?

The lantern is open at the base and uses a breathable fabric sphere, so heat from a 300d-series fixture vents upward and does not accumulate.
