Key Features
This Light Dome SE from Aputure is a 16-sided modifier with a 35.5" diameter. It has a soft wraparound quality that is a hallmark of this shape, especially when used close to the subject. It also has a few surprises that offer you several contrast options. The 1.5 and 2.5-stop front diffusion fabrics offer ways to manipulate the light. Also a removable 1.5-stop internal baffle softens the initial point source of light and allows it to fill the entire softbox more evenly. The 45° fabric grid provides directional control to enable selective lighting. The Light Dome SE has a Bowens-type speed ring compatible with lights such as the Amaran 100d, 100x, 200d, & 200x, Aputure LS 600d Pro, 300d II, 300x, and the 120d II, as well as many other lights that use this popular mount.
Flexible Fiberglass Rods
16 Lightweight and flexible fiberglass rods ensure the Light Dome SE maintains a circular shape for catchlights and light falloff.
Highly Reflective Fabric:
The Light Dome SE utilizes the same highly-reflective material as the Light Dome II, for maximum output.
Two Quality Diffusion Fabrics:
The Light Dome SE gives you the flexibility to create softer light, but includes two front 1.5- and 2.5-stop diffusion fabrics for light quality options.
Internal 1.5 Stop Baffle:
The internal baffle softens the initial point source of light, allowing it to fill the entire softbox more evenly.
Fabric Control
The 45° fabric grid provides directional control to enable selective lighting.
Compatibility
Compatible with the Bowens Mount LED lights, such as the Amaran 100d, 100x, 200d, and 200x, as well as the Aputure LS 600d Pro, 300d II, 300x, and 120d II. It will also work with lights from other manufacturers who use this popular mount.

The Aputure Light Dome SE softbox is a versatile light modifier with a diameter of 85 cm, which will allow you to conveniently extend the capabilities of lights equipped with a Bowens mount. You only need a few moments to unfold the unit and adjust it to your needs. The softbox comes with up to 3 diffusion fabrics and a grid. This is the ideal choice for those filming interviews or photographers specialising in portraits. Soften and diffuse the light, give it contrast or precisely illuminate selected parts of the frame. The kit does not lack a carry bag for convenient storage of your equipment.
The Light Dome SE is a versatile lighting modifier that is great for filmmakers, online video makers and photographers. It will allow you to beautifully light interviews and create unique portraits. Combine the softbox with a flash equipped with a Bowens mount (such as the Aputure Light Storm series or Amaran 100 and 200 COB) to transform a single source of hard light into perfect soft light.
Soft light is the secret to successful portraits, whether you’re shooting or filming people talking to each other. The Aputure Light Dome SE softbox with a diameter of 85cm has been created specifically for just such an application. It’s the perfect choice when you want to hide imperfections and evenly illuminate your subjects. This unusual design will make the characters in your frames look perfect.
Included with the Aputure Light Dome SE sofbox, you will find 3 diffusion fabrics – 2 external (1.5 EV and 2.5 EV) and 1 internal (1.5 EV). With these you will soften light and blur harsh shadows, creating memorable images captured with the eye of your camera or camcorder. Used individually or together, the fabrics allow you to perfectly match the degree of light diffusion to the current needs of your shots and frames.
The Aputure Light Dome SE softbox uses the proven solutions known from the Light Dome II model. By placing 16 rods in reinforced fabric guides, it has been possible to give the modifier a 32-sided shape that is very close to a circle. This allows it to produce beautiful oval reflections that will take your films and videos to an even higher level of professional execution!
Want to precisely illuminate your chosen subject or space without scattering light into the rest of the frame? Just reach for the included honeycomb (grid). Attached with a sturdy Velcro strap, the grid will allow you to give the right contrast and direct the light exactly as you need it!
A mount that supports the professional Bowens standard ensures wide compatibility of the modifier with hundreds of lights on the market. The Aputure Light Dome SE softbox is ideal for use with the entire Light Storm range of products, among others. You can also easily combine it with other brands’ devices equipped with Bowens mounting.
The design of the Aputure Light Dome SE softbox is based on solid rods and a proprietary instant mounting system. Thanks to Aputure’s pioneering solutions, it is difficult to find a similar light modifier on the market that unfolds and folds as quickly! All you need to do is place the rods in special guides and then use the Bowens mount to connect to the flash. The entire assembly of the dome will only take a dozen seconds!
Weighing in at around 1 kg, the Light Dome SE softbox is the perfect travel companion. It comes with a sturdy transport bag to ensure that no matter where you take your light modifier, it gets there safe and sound!
