FAQ

What is the benefit of the Para 120's parabolic design?

The deep parabolic design of the Para 120 ensures even lighting with a wrap-around quality. It also increases directional control, produces a focused light with minimal spill, and creates natural-looking catchlights.

What is the purpose of the included front diffusers?

The Para 120 includes both a 1-stop and a 2-stop front diffuser. These can be used to soften the light and reduce contrast, allowing for more control over the light quality in your photographs.

What types of light sources can the Para 120 be used with?

The Para 120 features a Bowens Style Speed Ring, making it compatible with a wide array of LED, strobe, and constant light sources. It was specifically designed to be used with Nanlite's Forza Series LEDs.

How does the Quick-Open design benefit photographers?

The Quick-Open design with spring-loaded rod locks allows for rapid assembly and disassembly. This is especially useful for photographers working in fast-paced environments or needing to adapt to changing conditions quickly.

What additional accessories can be used with the Para 120?

The Para 120 can accept optional fabric grids, which can be attached via touch-fasteners. These grids narrow the beam angle to 60 degrees and concentrate the light's beam forward, providing additional control over light spill.

About NanLite Para 120

Become a master of lighting with the Nanlite Para 120 Quick-Open Softbox with Bowens Mount, a premium 47-inch softbox designed for photographers who demand both quality and convenience. This 16-sided, deep parabolic softbox is engineered to deliver even lighting with a distinctive wrap-around quality, ensuring your subjects are illuminated with natural-looking catchlights and beautifully controlled light.

Crafted with a reflective silver interior, the Para 120 maximizes light output, while the inclusion of a removable front diffuser allows you to soften the light and reduce contrast for more flattering results. The parabolic shape of the softbox not only ensures uniform lighting but also provides a focused beam with minimal spill light and pronounced falloff, giving you the directional control necessary for creative lighting setups.

Nanlite's commitment to versatility is evident in the multiple diffusion options available with the Para 120. It comes with both a 1-stop and a 2-stop front diffuser, offering you the flexibility to fine-tune the light quality to match your vision. When used without a diffuser, the Para 120 transforms into a large reflector that outputs high-contrast light, perfect for dramatic effects.

The softbox is designed with a Bowens Style Speed Ring, making it compatible with Nanlite's Forza Series LEDs and a wide array of other LED, strobe, and constant light sources. This near-universal mount ensures that the Para 120 can adapt to various lighting requirements with ease.

Setting up and breaking down the Para 120 is a breeze, thanks to its Quick-Open speed ring equipped with spring-loaded rod locks. The intuitive design allows for rapid assembly and disassembly, matching the fast-paced nature of photography shoots and enabling you to adapt to changing conditions on the fly.

For photographers who require additional precision in their lighting, the Para 120 accepts optional fabric grids. These grids attach via touch-fasteners and narrow the beam angle to 60 degrees, concentrating the light's beam forward and minimizing light spill for more directional control.

Elevate your photography with the durable, portable, and high-quality Nanlite Para 120 Quick-Open Softbox. Its adjustable features and quick setup make it an indispensable tool for portrait, product, and still life photography, ensuring that you capture your subjects in the best light possible.
