Lantern Softboxes are used by still photographers, filmmakers and videographers, for illuminating entire rooms with soft, even light. Choose a Chimera Lantern Softbox according to the size of the room, and your working light fixture. This is a Pancake Lantern, which takes up less space than a traditional Lantern Softbox. A skirt may be added, to limit the spread of the light, much like a traditional softbox.
