Aputure Light Dome II Softbox

Aputure Light Dome II is a deep 34.8-inch Bowens-mount softbox designed for portrait, interview, commercial and film lighting setups that need soft, flattering light with more direction than a shallow modifier. Its 16-sided shape creates a nearly circular front surface, helping produce natural-looking round catchlights and smooth reflections. The silver interior increases efficiency, while the deep profile helps keep the beam more focused and controlled than a broad, shallow softbox.

Deep 88.4 cm design for soft but controlled light

The Light Dome II measures approximately 88.4 cm in diameter and 61 cm in depth when assembled. This combination creates a large apparent source while maintaining stronger direction and falloff than flatter modifiers. It is especially useful for interviews, headshots, beauty work and cinematic key lighting where the goal is to keep faces soft and flattering without spreading light across the entire set.

Dual diffusion system for adjustable softness

The modifier uses a removable internal diffuser together with interchangeable 1.5-stop and 2.5-stop front diffusion fabrics. This gives the lighting crew several ways to balance output, softness and contrast. Using the internal baffle with the front diffuser helps create a smoother and more even source, while removing one layer preserves more intensity and produces a slightly crisper result.

40° grid for precise spill control

The included fabric honeycomb grid reduces the beam spread to approximately 40°, helping keep the softened light away from backgrounds, walls and other unwanted areas. This makes the Light Dome II particularly practical in interviews, portrait setups and multi-light scenes where the key light needs to remain soft but clearly separated from the rest of the set.

Fast 16-rod construction with Bowens mount

The Light Dome II uses 16 durable steel support rods and a quick-open click-and-lock construction that speeds up setup compared with traditional rod-by-rod softboxes. A standard Bowens S Mount makes it compatible with a wide range of Bowens-mount LED fixtures from Aputure and other manufacturers. Its combination of fast assembly, deep shape and broad front surface makes it a versatile modifier for studio and location work.
