Description
The Aputure Lantern 120 (4′) delivers professional-quality omnidirectional lighting in a massive, rapid-setup softbox package built for modern content creators, filmmakers, photographers, livestreamers, and high-end studios. Designed to transform hard point-source LEDs into an expansive 360° soft illumination source, the Lantern 120 instantly fills large rooms, studio soundstages, or commercial sets with smooth, natural ambient light.
Designed to serve as a high-coverage overhead key light, room fill, or multi-person interview source, the 4 ft (120 cm) diameter profile distributes soft, shadow-reducing glow evenly across expansive areas. Whether you’re filming YouTube group setups, commercial sets, product showcases, or indoor cinematic scenes, the Aputure Lantern 120 is built to elevate your production quality wherever creativity takes you.
Bright, Compact & Ready Anywhere
The Lantern 120 is engineered for creators and production teams who need massive, soft illumination without cumbersome setup procedures or heavy modifier frameworks. Weighing 2.72 kg (6 lbs) and collapsing down into a slim travel profile, it frees up valuable gear bag space and makes transport across multiple shooting locations seamless.
Adjustable 360° Spherical Light Control & Skirt
Quickly adapt to any shooting environment with a spherical 4ft (120 cm) diffusion frame that disperses light in a complete 360° beam pattern. The included 4-section adjustable fabric light control skirt allows you to flag off individual sides, controlling light spill onto background walls and precision-shaping soft overhead illumination.
Professional Colour Accuracy & Soft Diffusion
Accurate color rendering and gentle skin tone rendition are essential for high-end video and photography. The Lantern 120 utilizes premium, heat-resistant translucent diffusion fabric that preserves color temperature purity and spectral fidelity across high-output LED lights without causing hue shifts or harsh glare.
Intelligent Quick-Build Mechanism
Set up and strike your lighting rig in seconds using the innovative quick-build tension mechanism. Simply push down and hook the frame into place to create a rigid, full spherical shape instantly—eliminating individual rod assemblies, loose speed rings, or complicated brackets.
Quiet Performance for Video Production
Constructed with heat-dissipating, breathable materials and an open-flow rear mounting structure, the Lantern 120 allows optimal airflow for active cooling fans on LED light heads, ensuring your audio recording remains silent during dialogue-heavy shoots and interviews.
Built-In Lighting Effects Support
Enhance dynamic lighting effects—such as Fire, TV glow, or Lightning—by spreading the light output uniformly throughout your entire set, creating natural environmental light reflections and immersive cinematic atmospheres.
Universal Bowens Mount Compatibility
Equipped with an industry-standard full-size Bowens mount, the Lantern 120 seamlessly attaches to a vast selection of point-source LED lights—from compact amaran fixtures up to high-output Aputure COB lights—providing universal flexibility across your existing camera and lighting gear.
Portable Power & Travel Protection
Take soft, omnidirectional ambient lighting anywhere. The Aputure Lantern 120 folds down quickly into its included custom soft carrying bag, offering compact storage and reliable travel protection for creators on location.
