Rent Aputure Lantern 90 (Bowens)

Description

To lift the base level of an interior with no apparent direction, the lantern remains the most honest tool: the Aputure Lantern 90 diffuses your Bowens COB's light through nearly 360°, filling the room the way a ceiling fixture would. At 90 cm in diameter it mounts in seconds thanks to Aputure's quick softbox system and weighs little, so it lives happily even hung from a boom above the scene table.

The hook-and-loop fabric skirt lets you shut off the sides you don't need: close toward camera, leave it open toward the subject, and the lantern becomes a half-directional source. Diffusion is 1 stop, so the output loss stays modest.

At €15 a day it's the accessory we add most often to COB rentals for scripted work and documentaries: you'll find it ready with its Bowens ring in our Abruzzo warehouse, or delivered along with the rest of the kit.
