I'm using this with the Westcott Solix Compact LED light. The size of the Octabank and having the light close to my subjects creates beautiful catchlights with soft shadows, perfect for my little subjects.

This creates the most beautiful portrait light. I've taken this on the road and used flashes. The only difficulty I have is assembling it - the last couple rods are hard on hands. Also, I needed a detailed training video that was not available the first time I assembled it. Once I figured it out, once I had a little help with the last couple rods and, of course, once I shot many portraits with it and saw the light it produces, I fell in love with it.

This newly improved Westcott 5' Octabank is equipped with an array of unmatched features to give you the broad, professional lighting that you've been searching for. Designed with heavy-duty fabrics and double-layer heat-resistant technology, Westcott Octabank modifiers are constructed to withstand years of use in your studio.
For improved stability, this softbox's flexible steel rods are protected by reinforced rod pockets. This durable framework is compatible with a wide variety speedings for use with your favorite light sources.
The reflective silver fabric that lines this modifier not only maximizes your light output, but also serves as a 1000-watt rated heat resistant surface. This light modifier also features a recessed hook-and-loop edge for quickly mounting the included front diffusion panel and the optional 40-degree egg crate grid (sold separately).
Westcott diffusion panels are neutral, allowing them to soften light while maintaining your color temperature. The included inner baffle snaps into place easily and features a unique gradated silver pattern for even light output.
Care Instructions: Wipe fabric with damp cloth and immediately wipe dry
