Nanlite Para 150 Quick-Open Softbox with Bowens Mount (150cm)
16-sided parabolic quick-open softbox — silver interior — 1- & 2-stop diffusers — spring-loaded rod locks — reduced spill
Overview
Ideal for portraits or fashion, the Nanlite Para 150 is a 150cm (16-sided) parabolic quick-open softbox with a Bowens mount, delivering a soft, focused output with a punchy, crisp edge that adds dimension and detail to your subject and produces natural-looking catchlights.
The unique 59" depth creates significant edge falloff for enhanced directional control, decreased spill light, and easy feathering. It ships with 1- and 2-stop front diffusers for flexible contrast control, includes a Bowens Type-S speed ring, and comes with a carry bag for storage and transport.
Key Features
Silver Interior + 1- & 2-Stop Diffusers
Reflective silver interior maximizes output. Use the 1-stop and 2-stop front diffusers together, separately, or not at all.
Soft Yet Crisp, Punchy Output
Produces a soft look with a crisp edge to add dimension and detail, plus natural-looking catchlights.
Deep Profile for Directional Control
The 59" depth creates significant falloff at the field edge for stronger control, less spill, and easier feathering.
Fast Setup with Spring-Loaded Rod Locks
Quick-open speed ring design: snap rods into place fast, then release with the push of a button for breakdown.
Reduced Spill Light + Sharp Falloff
Focused light with minimal spill and strong falloff makes it easier to shape and control the beam.
Optional Fabric Grid Support (60°)
Add an optional fabric grid via touch-fasteners to narrow the beam to 60° and concentrate the output forward (sold separately).
Control and Shape Light
The reflective silver interior maximizes output, while the removable front diffuser softens the beam and reduces contrast. The parabolic shape creates even illumination with wraparound quality and natural-looking catchlights.
Its deep profile produces a focused beam with increased directional control, minimal spill light, and significant falloff—perfect for feathering and precision lighting.
Multiple Diffusion Options
Nanlite includes both 1-stop and 2-stop front diffusers to further refine light quality. Use both together for maximum softness, use one at a time for balanced output, or remove both for a higher-contrast reflector-like look.
With no diffusers attached, the Para 150 effectively becomes a large reflector that outputs higher-contrast light.
Bowens-Style Speed Ring
Designed to complement Nanlite Forza LEDs, the Para 150 includes a Bowens Type-S quick-open speed ring. This near-universal modifier mount broadens compatibility across a wide range of LED, strobe, and constant-light sources.
Fast Setup and Break Down
Built around a quick-open speed ring with spring-loaded rod locks, the Para 150 snaps together fast for immediate shooting, then collapses quickly at the touch of a button for efficient pack-down and transport.
