## Overview

The Photek Softlighter II is a 46-inch umbrella with a unique 10-panel design that provides superior light diffusion and control. Its versatile construction allows it to function as both an umbrella and a softbox, making it an essential tool for photographers seeking high-quality lighting solutions. The fireproof material ensures safety and durability, while the quick setup feature allows for efficient use in any shooting environment.

## Description

The Photek SoftLighter II 46" Umbrella takes light from your strobe head or monolight, reflects it into its white, silver, or gold panel, then softens it again with a diffuser on its way out. This ultra soft umbrella includes one each gold and silver light enhancing discs. These light modifiers can alter the color of your light or give it more sparkle and contrast, as well as increasing light output by a half stop. This 46" size is perfect for a 1 - 2 person head-to-waist shot, or 3x4 ft product setup. It will illuminate ~11 sq ft. Unique construction consisting of ten panels instead of the usual eight gives more reflective surface, more perfect circle of light - more flattering catch lights in the subject's eyes. The removable black nylon cover stops all stray and ricochet, enhancing total light control. With removal of its black cover and a reversal of direction, the SoftLighter II becomes a "softbox" -- a shoot-through diffuser, providing light that can be used either as a main light source or as a flattering fill. Note: For mounting shoe mount flash units to the SoftLighter II a shoe mount light stand/umbrella adapter is necessary. Shoe mount flash units must be set to Manual because the entire flash will be inside the umbrella (unless the flash unit is equipped with a remote sensor). Note: For strobe use only -- not for use with hot lights, or modeling lights over 250 watts.

## Features

- White reflective surface, free of bleaches and fluorescence, perfectly reflects the color of your light.
- Stout black nylon cover stops all stray and ricochet, enhancing total light control.
- Unique construction consisting of ten panels instead of the usual eight gives more reflective surface and a more perfect circle of light, so flattering when seen as catch lights in the eyes.
- So versatile a product is the SOFTLIGHTER II, that by removal of its black cover and a reversal of direction, the SOFTLIGHTER II becomes everything a softbox promises. It becomes a shoot through diffuser providing light that canbe used either as a main light source or as a flattering fill
- Final touch. The SOFTLIGHTER II sets up in moments. Its unique translucent cover fits directly onto the tips of the SOFTLIGHTER II. A totally fireproof material creates its own collar around the lighthead, with no time consuming fitting of mounting collars or rib setups involved.

    amazing amazing amazing

If you take your photography seriously, get this.  The light output is amazingly soft and easily controlled with this setup.  Takes 30 seconds to setup, unlike minutes with traditional softboxes and works quite amazingly in a mobile setup (I use this with my Elinchrom handheld boom and a capable assistant).  If you know who Annie Leibovitz is, you'll know what this can do.

    Good quality light, low quality construction
  

*by R***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2016*

I settled on this after reading many positive reviews regarding quality of light. Annie Leibovitz uses it, which is about the best recommendation you can get - she can afford anything, right?I was very pleased with it after using it for the first time in an outdoor portrait shoot. The light quality was indeed good, especially considering the price. Set up was quick and painless, but I did note that the metal bits (shaft and ribs) seemed kind of flimsy for such a large umbrella. No matter, I am gentle with my equipment. On the second shoot, again outdoors, I set up on a sturdy light stand and added a couple of five pound sandbags to keep it from being knocked over. Halfway through, a MILD gust of wind came in from the side and bent four of the ribs! The stand did not even budge, despite only ten pounds holding it down and the umbrella up around 8 feet. I know this is not Profoto (nor the price), but I am pretty bummed that a $120 modifier was trashed so easily. Annie can afford to throw them away after each use - I can't, and I also can't recommend this flimsy thing for outdoor use.
