Key Features

The Pop Bank Small for Litepanels Astra LED Light from Chimera was designed to take the edge off the Astra's bright LEDs. The bank will quickly pop open to mount onto the fixture. The 24 x 32 x 11" softbox comes with a full and a half stop front diffusion material that can be used individually or together to vary contrast, or not at all, basically, making the bank into a large reflector due to its silver interior. The Pop Bank also has a removable inner baffle for adding an extra degree of softness.

Chimera POP Bank for Litepanels Astra Reviews

Still the Best Quality with a 5-Year Warranty

By Ron
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-10-23

As usual, this product does exactly what it is supposed to. Additionally it's a vast improvement over the previous model (1655) which used semi-rigid diffusion material to negate the previous low output of the older 1X1 fixtures.

Great Diffusion Option for Astras

By Peter
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2021-11-04

We've borrowed and rented these for number of projects, but finally needed to purchase our own. They set up quickly, are well made, and diffuse the Astras nicely. Perfect for mobile shoots that require multiple quick setups.
