Overview

The Aputure Light Box 30120 is a narrow rectangular softbox measuring 30x120cm (1x4 feet) designed to produce clean, linear light output from Bowens Mount LED fixtures. Its elongated shape makes it particularly effective for portrait photography, where it creates flattering vertical catchlights and even illumination from head to waist, as well as for edge lighting and accent work where a thin strip of light is needed to separate a subject from the background. The softbox ships with two interchangeable front diffusion panels rated at 1.5 and 2.5 stops, an internal baffle diffuser at 1.5 stops, and a 45-degree eggcrate grid, giving photographers fine-grained control over light intensity, softness, and spill.

Setup and portability are key strengths of this modifier. The quick-folding speed ring eliminates the tedious process of threading individual support rods into fabric channels — the entire softbox opens and locks into shape in seconds, and collapses flat for transport. At just 1.08kg total weight, it adds minimal load to a light stand, and the flat-packing design fits easily into gear bags alongside other modifiers. The universal Bowens Mount makes it compatible not only with Aputure's own COB lights like the LS 300d II and LS 600d Pro, but also with the Amaran 60, 100, and 200 series and any third-party fixture using the Bowens standard.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Narrow 1x4ft shape produces a distinctive linear light quality ideal for edge lighting and full-length portraits.
  • Quick-folding speed ring dramatically reduces setup and teardown time compared to rod-based softboxes.
  • Three included diffusion layers plus an eggcrate grid offer versatile light control in one package.
  • Lightweight 1.08kg total weight makes it easy to mount on light stands and boom arms.
  • Universal Bowens Mount ensures compatibility across a wide range of LED fixtures.

👎 Cons

  • The 30cm width produces a narrower spread of soft light, which may be insufficient as a key light on its own for group shots.
  • The foldable speed ring design, while convenient, can feel less rigid than traditional fixed-ring softboxes.
  • At 120cm long, it requires a sturdy light stand or counterweighted boom to prevent tipping.
  • Not compatible with non-Bowens mount lights without a separate adapter.
