The Elinchrom Rotalux 59" Indirect Softbox is a unique light shaping tool that offers the creative photographer several different qualities of light depending how the diffuser and included speed rings are employed. When configured like standard softboxes without the front diffuser, the Rotalux acts like a combination of a large reflector and a silver umbrella offering wide coverage and crisp rendition of details. Slip on the included front diffuser and the soft, wrap-around light quality that Octa-type softboxes are known for becomes evident. The Rotalux's depth of 29" allows you to use the "indirect" speed ring to bounce the light into the back of the softbox for yet another degree of contrast. Finally, slip on the front diffuser for extremely, soft delicate light that will flatter any subject.
