Questions & Answers

FELIPE C : does the streaklight 360 have enough power for this modifier?MIKE H : I mainly use it for indoor portraits with a a 750W monolight set at half power or less (250W - 375W).DELMER M : This has become one of my favorite lighting tools. I use it for portraits on location and the light from it is amazing. Soft but with just enough punch. If I want to soften it down I use the outside diffuser either with or without the internal baffle. I use mine with a Hensel Porty set at 400 so I see no reason a Streaklight 360 would not be adequate. I'm assuming 360 is it's watt second rating. I use my porty at 400 for two reasons. First for a shallower depth of feild and second for a quicker recycle time, so if the technical specs of the streak light fulfill those requirements It should do the trick.JEFFREY W : Definitely. It will give you f/11 at 4 feet without a problem.
JEFF A : I'd like to ad a Dyna-Lite pencil lite bare tube to the Glow 47. Is that possible with the speedrings Flashpoint offers?
DOUG W : Does this really come with a Flashpoint Speedring? The title says it does, but the 'whats included' doesn't mention the speedring.MIKE H : I ordered and it did not ship with the speeding. Called Adorama and they shipped separately.Mr David F : Mine (which I purchased last April) did not come with the promised speed ring. I had to contact Adorama customer service and they sent the speed ring quickly. Of course, the call to CS should not have been necessary as the advertised ring should have been included in the first place. Once you get the speed ring, it's an excellent and very useful light shaper.PHUC D : When you buy the softbox remember to add the speedring for $1.. otherwise the speedring is expensive if you order by itself..

10/10 Would strip again.

Construction of reflector materials, rods, and baffles are of high quality. The product is easy to setup and use. It would have been great to have grids included for more control.

Space efficient beaty

Have been using for over two years, high quality materials. Great light, recommend with 250Ws or higher light source for max flexibility. Easy enough to disassemble once you grt a hang of it. Unique product as how thin and space efficient it is for small home studio.

The setup is a disaster w this soft box. Look at other options.

This thing is a disaster to setup. Spend more for a better option. The setup is painful.

Used the box last week and will be using it every week in August for our current commission work.

The box is not only a perfect size me, but the light quality is perfection!

Great for the price!

This is a good size softbox, been wanting one for a while. Got the flashpoint XPLOR light and this as a package and saved even more. Easy to set up but does not pop quickly down, so know that you either take it down in between shoots or find a large space to keep it set up. It’s so large, beautiful light. Love the price. Love Adorama! Always helpful and knowledgeable. Great YouTube channel too.

2nd one. Absolutely beautiful light for full body and large group shots.

LOOK: It does not come with adapter. Buy the aluminum Glow Speed Ring Adapter to fit Bowens Mount. It is 30.00 and worth every penny. I use it with the Xplor 600. Great setup. Use this for full body shots. The wrap around is excellent. I bought a 2nd one for large group shots. The spread is perfect for groups of 60 plus. Clients were very happy. I use the two layers of diffusion when shooting full body and medium shots. I only use one layer when doing large groups. Buy a good stand and always use a sandbag when doing exteriors. They are like little kites. I would recommend this to anyone looking to do larger shots, mediums shot and even close ups. The catch light (eye light) makes eye pop!

Great Value

If it lasts half as long as the other soft boxes that have discolored or have been destroyed it will be a great value. Bottom line is great quality of light for the money.

Works nice

Nice consistent light. Overall high quality. The front cover is a bit short by 1 inch on all sides, you have to squeeze the edges a bit so it'll attach to the velcro. It would be great if it's just a tad larger for the front cover. Inside cover probably should've used hooks instead of buttons, it's hard to remove.

24x36 Glow Softbox

I bought this softbox because I already had one and I wanted to maintain consistent color temps and exposure. Good product. Durable. Very good diffusion across the panels. I would, indeed, recommend.

Softbox

By Lisa R.

Easy to break down and reassemble. Wish I ordered another. Next purchase!

Perfect size for your first softbox.

By CRAIG W.

It's softbox and puts out soft light with a size that's versatile to be used for a backdrop when shooting high key head shots in limited space. The quality and construction of this unit is good.

The versatile Glow 47" Grand Softbox parabolic design provides the ideal source for mastering all location situations where quality counts by imitating natural sunlight from a single strobe. The highlight /shadow ratio is optimized with a concentrated focus of illumination from the special bowl reflector, reverse umbrella design. The 47" Grandbox combines the strength of a key light while acting as a great reflector, blending perfectly with additional fill soft day and interior lights. By adding the gridded outer diffuser shield you can change the overall wash of sharper light to a less harsh effect. The most popular uses of this size Grand shape are for brilliantly lit full length fashion, portrait, and beauty photography, but the exceptional even coverage handles larger groups and objects; efficiency in this design and the flattering results reveal human form with grace and warmth.
The entire series employs advanced technology designed to create perfect images for editorial and product still life, like large appliance and vehicles.

Glow Grand materials and construction are superior. The critical ingredients in any softbox are the internal reflective fabric, the front diffuser/baffle and the shape of the box. Super strength silver fabric finely line the interior surfaces of the box and add a crisp quality to the output.

Every Glow - R Series product features removable double diffusers. Light spread is extremely even, pleasing and contrast balanced. Reinforced support rod pockets, seams and Velcro closures make assembly and setup trouble-free.

What's in the box:

  • Glow Grand 47" Softbox
  • Rods (16)
  • Carrying Case
  • Internal Diffusion Material
  • Fitted External Removable Diffusor
  • Glow 1 Year Warranty
