Nanlite Asymmetric Softbox 45x110cm

Nanlite Asymmetric Softbox 45x110cm – Precise Strip Light for Creative Contrast

The Nanlite Asymmetric Softbox 45x110cm is a specially designed light modifier that produces soft but directional strip light. Its asymmetric construction distributes light unevenly – one side brighter, the other softer – creating ideal conditions for contrast-rich portraits or product photography.

• Asymmetric light distribution for defined shadows and highlights – perfect for emphasizing textures and contours.
• At 45x110cm, the softbox is ideal as a strip light for full-length portraits or as a contrasty hair light.
• The square shape allows precise light control and prevents unwanted stray light reflections.
• Lightweight at only 1.60 kg makes setup and positioning on a stand easy.
• Compatible with Nanlite lights – ready to use for professional studio and outdoor shoots.

What sets the asymmetric softbox apart

Unlike symmetric softboxes, this model creates a natural falloff from bright to soft without the need for additional grids or flags. This saves setup time and expands creative possibilities right out of the box.

Ideal for…

Portrait photographers seeking dramatic lighting moods with smooth transitions, as well as product photographers wanting to emphasize surface textures. Also excellent for video as a contrasty side light.

How to use the Nanlite softbox

Attach the softbox with the included speed ring to a compatible Nanlite light. Position it to the side of the subject at a distance of 0.5–1.5 m to achieve the desired light falloff. Tilting the box allows further fine-tuning of the gradient.
