The Aputure Lantern Softbox is suited for use overhead or to raise the ambient illumination level. The Aputure 66cm diameter Lantern Softbox has the same omni-directional quality of light as the "China Balls" of yore but is built of durable materials and has accessories such as a skirt set to control the 270-degree beam spread. The Lantern has a Bowens mount that fits Aputure lights such as the 120d or 300d series, but it is also compatible with many other lights that use this popular mount.
