Softbox by Hahnel Module Softbox, Black/White, Width 180 mm, Depth 135 mm

The Hahnel Module Softbox is a compact light modifier designed to produce soft, even illumination for close-up, product and portrait photography. With a black exterior and white interior diffusion, and measuring 180 mm wide by 135 mm deep, this softbox mounts to compatible Hahnel modules or lighting heads to reduce harsh highlights and produce gentle shadow transitions. Its small footprint makes it suitable for tabletop setups and on-location shooting where controlled, diffused light is required.

Advantages

The softbox provides uniform light distribution that reduces specular reflections and softens facial or product features. Its black outer shell limits stray light while the white interior diffuser reflects and spreads light evenly across the subject. The compact dimensions make it easy to position close to subjects for controlled falloff, and the design is intended for quick attachment and alignment with compatible module-style lighting heads.

Suitable for

• Product photography for small items and e-commerce images
• Portrait and headshot lighting in small studio spaces
• Close-up and macro work where controlled soft light is needed
• Tabletop and still-life setups with limited space

Key specifications

• Shape: rectangular softbox with front diffusion
• Exterior colour: black to limit stray light
• Interior diffusion: white reflective surface for even spread
• Outer width: 180 mm
• Depth (front to back): 135 mm
• Mounting: designed for use with compatible Hahnel module or clamp-mounted lighting heads
• Intended use: produces softened, diffused light for close-range photography

How to use

Attach the softbox to a compatible Hahnel module or clamp-mounted lighting head following the manufacturer’s instructions for secure mounting. Position the softbox close to the subject to achieve softer shadows and smoother tonal transitions; moving it farther away will increase light spread and reduce intensity. Angle and distance adjustments allow control over falloff and highlight placement. Use camera exposure settings or power levels on the lighting head to balance illumination as required for the scene.

Usage recommendations

For best results in product and portrait work, position the softbox at a slight angle above or to the side of the subject and keep it relatively close to maintain soft shadows. When using with non-Hahnel speedlights, ensure a compatible clamp or adapter is fitted and test output/power settings to achieve even exposure.
