Aputure Light Dome for Light Storm (35″)

The 35″ Light Dome from Aputure is a high-quality light modifier designed for use with the LS Cob120, 300d, and 300t fixtures. Its unique 16-sided, 24″ deep hexadecagon shape, combined with its reflective interior, creates a high-output, focused light with a flattering wrap-around quality. Here are its key features:

1. Compatibility:

The Light Dome is specifically designed for use with the LS Cob120, 300d, and 300t fixtures. However, it is also compatible with a wide variety of Bowen-S mount lighting systems, including strobes, continuous lights, and other LEDs that accept Bowen-S speed rings. This versatility allows users to achieve consistent and professional lighting results across different setups and equipment.

2. Hexadecagon Structure:

The Light Dome features a 16-rod hexadecagon structure, ensuring symmetry and precision in the light output. This design creates a circular, round light source with appealing catchlights in the eyes of the subject, enhancing the overall visual impact of portraits and interviews.

3. Reflective Interior:

The interior of the Light Dome is made from tough, highly reflective fabric. This material enhances light output and quality, allowing the modifier to produce soft, flattering illumination. The reflective interior also contributes to the durability of the Light Dome, making it resistant to wear and tear even with frequent use.

4. Double Diffusion Front Face:

The Light Dome features a removable double diffusion front face. This front face, in combination with the internal diffuser, softens the light significantly. The diffusion system creates a gentle and even illumination that wraps around the subject, eliminating harsh shadows and enhancing the subject’s features. Additionally, the inner diffuser eliminates unattractive cross lines often seen with fabric-based diffusion, ensuring a clean and natural lighting effect.

5. Voluminous Soft Wrap-Around Look:

Measuring 24.4″ deep, the Light Dome is capable of producing a large-sized light source. This size creates an extremely voluminous soft wrap-around look, ideal for achieving a cinematic and professional lighting style. The soft and even illumination enhances the subject’s appearance and contributes to the overall aesthetic of the shot.

6. Catchlights in the Eyes:

The Light Dome’s precise circular light output generates natural-looking catchlights in the eyes of the camera talent. Catchlights add a sparkle and liveliness to the eyes, making the subject’s gaze more engaging and expressive. These catchlights enhance the overall visual appeal of portraits and create a connection between the viewer and the subject.
