Softbox fabric panel Lastolite Skylite Large 2 x 2 m Black/White by Lastolite

Lastolite Skylite Large fabric panel is a 2 x 2 m reversible Black/White textile designed for flexible control of studio and location lighting. The panel offers a white diffusion surface for softening and bouncing light, and a black flag side for blocking or shaping unwanted spill. The lightweight construction makes it convenient to carry and position, while the large 2 x 2 m size provides broad, even coverage suitable for portraits, product photography and commercial shoots where variable light control is required.

Advantages

The reversible black/white design consolidates diffusion and flagging in one accessory, reducing the need to carry separate modifiers. The white side delivers smooth, neutral diffusion that preserves color temperature and reduces harsh shadows, while the black side acts as an effective light blocker to prevent flare and control contrast. The fabric panel is lightweight and foldable for easy transport and rapid setup on stands, frames or handheld by an assistant.

Suitable for

• Portrait photography requiring soft, directional light
• Product and still-life shoots needing uniform diffusion or controlled shadowing
• Commercial and editorial work where on-location light shaping is necessary
• Studio setups for controlling spill from strobes, continuous lights or sunlight

Key specifications

• Material: reversible textile with black and white surfaces
• Size: 2 x 2 metres (square format providing large coverage)
• Function: diffusion (white side) and flagging/light-blocking (black side)
• Weight: lightweight, foldable for transport and storage
• Compatibility: suitable for use on stands, frames, clamps or handheld

How to use

Position the panel between your light source and subject to either diffuse light (white side facing light or subject) or to block and shape light (black side facing the source or background). For soft, even illumination place the white surface close to the light and use distance to control softness; for stronger shadow control orient the black surface to intercept spill or create negative fill. Secure the panel on a stand or clamp, or handhold it for quick adjustments when working on location. Fold the panel for storage and transport when not in use.

Usage recommendations

Use the white side for broad, neutral diffusion when shooting faces or reflective products; switch to the black side to cut unwanted reflections and fine-tune contrast. Combine with reflectors, grids or additional flags for more precise light shaping. Inspect the fabric for dust or marks before critical shoots and avoid contact with wet or abrasive surfaces to maintain the diffusion quality.
