Softbox rectangular GlareOne Strappo 30x120 cm with Bowens mount - professional lighting modifier

GlareOne Strappo rectangular softbox 30×120 cm with Bowens mount is a professional lighting modifier designed to produce narrow, directional soft light. Its elongated strip form delivers controlled diffusion that shapes highlights and shadows with precision, making it suitable for portrait rim lighting, product accent illumination and controlled edge separation. The softbox mounts to studio flashes and monolights with a Bowens-style mount, offering a compact solution for creating soft, linear catchlights and well-defined gradients without introducing wide spill light.

Advantages

The narrow 30×120 cm geometry creates a long, even light source that produces soft transitions and natural-looking highlights while maintaining directional control. The included Bowens-compatible speedring ensures fast attachment to compatible strobes and continuous lights, and the internal baffle and outer diffusion panel optimize light spread for smooth output. Its rectangular shape and length make it easier to place as a rim or hair light and to accent specific areas on the subject or product without lighting the entire scene.

Suitable for

• Portrait rim and edge lighting to separate subject from background
• Product and still-life accent lighting for highlighting textures and shapes
• Fashion and beauty shoots where controlled catchlights and directional soft light are required
• Studio setups that need narrow, elongated soft sources for creative shaping

Key specifications

• Shape: rectangular strip softbox
• Dimensions: 30 × 120 cm (width × length)
• Mount type: Bowens-compatible speedring
• Diffusion: inner baffle with outer diffusion panel for even soft light
• Construction: collapsible frame with fabric cover and removable front panel

How to use

Attach the softbox to a compatible strobe or continuous light using the Bowens-style speedring and secure it according to the lamp manufacturer's instructions. Position the softbox to create the desired rim or accent effect — typically placed behind or to the side of the subject for edge separation, or above and angled slightly for elongated catchlights. Adjust distance between the softbox and subject to control softness and light falloff: closer gives softer, more pronounced wrap; farther increases directionality and reduces coverage. Use the internal baffle and outer panel together for maximum diffusion; remove or replace panels if you need harder or more focused light.

Usage recommendations

For portrait rim and hair lighting, mount the softbox slightly above head height and angle it toward the back edge of the subject to create a controlled highlight without flare. When photographing products, place the softbox parallel to the product surface to emphasize texture and form. Avoid using it as the sole main light for wide scenes — its strength is in directional, narrow-area shaping rather than broad, uniform illumination.
