British LED lighting manufacturer, Rotolight has announced a new range of Rotolight R-90/R-120 Universal Parabolic Softbox Umbrellas that enable photographers, cinematographers and content creators to easily produce beautiful, high quality, soft light in any situation.
Made from a highly durable, highly reflective material, the R90/R120 are the ultimate softboxes, ideal for your key light for portraiture, wedding, commercial, fashion and video applications. This state of the art 16-sided light-shaper that is ideal in both location and studio-based settings and offers stunning, soft light output with a crisp edge that lends dimension and focussed detail to the subject whilst producing natural-looking catchlights.
Both sizes come with removable 1-stop outer and 0.5 inner baffle diffusion panels, which can be combined to create a 1.5-stop diffusion level; used individually, or not at all to achieve a variety of contrast levels. The diffuser panels are made from state-of-the-art advanced diffuser materials to offer minimal pass through light loss. In addition, a high-quality, 40-degree fabric Honeycomb Grid is included, allowing users to fine-tune soft light in any indoor or outdoor shooting scenario.

These will help users create stunning soft light and the perfect complement to our new Rotolight products. We are very excited to see what Rotolight users create with them. The possibilities are endless.” Rod Aaron Gammons, CEO, Rotolight.
