Quadralite Octadecagon Focus Softbox Para 180 cm

Controlling light in large studio spaces demands a modifier that can shape a broad, soft beam while maintaining directional punch. The Quadralite Octadecagon Focus Softbox Para 180 cm meets that need with an 18-sided parabolic profile and a focusing rod system that lets you adjust the light spread by sliding the Bowens mount along the shaft. The result is a versatile tool for everything from full-body portraits to sculpted commercial shots.

Who is it for

Portrait, fashion, product, and commercial photographers who use Bowens-mount strobes or LED lights and need a large, controllable softbox for studio work. It suits both professionals and serious enthusiasts who want to shape light precisely without swapping modifiers.

Tips

For a softer, more even light, use both diffusers and position the softbox close to your subject. For a harder, more directional look with increased contrast, remove the front diffuser and adjust the focusing rod to narrow the beam. The silver interior enhances specular highlights, making it ideal for beauty and product work where you want defined catchlights.
