Product description
Key features
The SMALLRIG RA-L65 Lantern Softbox 65cm is a quick-release light modifier for Bowens mount COB lights, offering soft omnidirectional illumination for video and photo use. It fits popular Bowens-compatible fixtures and aims to speed up setup with a one-step installation that the maker says takes around three seconds. This makes it useful when you need rapid light shaping on location or in a small studio, and the 270° beam spread helps reduce hard shadows while filling the scene evenly.

Benefits
The design focuses on easy use and consistent output. The all-in-one bottom hook and widened, raised fitting simplify attachment and removal, which saves time during quick changes. The fabric is designed to preserve the lamp's high CRI according to the manufacturer, and the reflective coating boosts usable output without altering colour rendition. The lantern form gives a broad, wraparound light feel that is flattering for interviews, product shots and general fill lighting.
How to use it
Attach the softbox to any Bowens mount fixture, spread the 12 umbrella ribs and secure the bottom hook, then add the fabric barn doors if you need to restrict light on one side. It ships with a carry bag for transport and a user manual to guide assembly. It’s a practical choice when you want soft, even illumination quickly, though bear in mind it’s designed for Bowens mount heads specifically and requires a compatible light.
