Crafted with 16 flexible fiberglass rods, the Light Dome SE forms a perfect circular shape that produces beautiful, natural catchlights in subjects’ eyes.

Additionally, it includes two diffusion fabrics—1.5 stops for softer light and 2.5 stops for a heavier, more diffused look—providing flexibility for different lighting needs.

To further enhance light control, the Light Dome SE comes with a 45° fabric grid that narrows the beam angle, allowing precise control over light spill.

This softbox excels in creating flattering light for interviews, portraits, and content creation. By softening hard light, it beautifully blankets subjects, conceals blemishes, and produces even illumination. The internal 1.5-stop baffle adds another layer of diffusion, ensuring uniform light distribution across the softbox.

Portable and travel-friendly, the Aputure Light Dome collapses flat and includes a carrying bag for added convenience. Whether shooting on location or in a studio, it empowers creators with professional-grade tools to achieve stunning results.
