EZ Lock Quick Strip Softbox

The Glow Edge 12x56" Quick Strip Softbox uses an EZ Lock mechanism that opens like an umbrella for rapid setup and collapse. Its Bowens mount fits strobes, speedlights and flashes sharing that connection. The rectangular strip shape produces a narrow, feathered beam suited to fashion and portrait work where controlled highlights matter.

Bowens mount and stand limits

The included Bowens speedring adapter accepts only lights with that specific bayonet; other mounting systems will not attach. The bundled air-cushioned light stand extends from 3.43 feet to 9.5 feet and supports 15–16 lbs, so heavier heads or large modifiers beyond that weight require a stronger support.

Light shaping capacity

Internal and external diffusers plus an eggcrate grid soften output and narrow spill for directional control. A reversible deflector disk eliminates centre hot spots across the 12x56" surface. The kit stores in the supplied bag, but the fixed dimensions and single mount mean it cannot adapt to larger strip formats or non-Bowens fixtures.
