Indirect Softlites
The Beauty Light
Recta, Strip, Octa, Quadra
Invented in 1982, their unique patented
construction and design have won these large
lightweight softboxes worldwide popularity.
A lightweight die cast rigid central mounting for
the flashhead inside the unit which places the
flashtube at the point of focus.
The optical result is a light source, which is so
even at the diffuser surface, that many famous
photographers use the Octa as a single light
source for portrait photography. In the U.S.A.
it is often referred to as “The Beauty Light”.
This exceptional softness of the light has sold
many of thousands of units, adapted to other
flash systems which do not have equivalent
light sources.
Note: most of the Beauty shots in this
catalogue are created with this light source!
