Can I use it as a normal softbox?

Can I use it as a normal softbox?
Asked by: Yonatan
No, the Aputure Lantern Softbox would not function as a typical standard softbox. The Aputure Lantern Softbox is a spherical softbox that is designed to spread the light from your LED or studio strobe in all directions with a 270° beam angle. It would output soft light in nearly all directions. A typical standard softbox is square or rectangular in shape, outputs light in one planar direction, and has straight edges to the light that can be placed across your subject.
