Product Overview:
Transform your Bowens-mount LED lights into soft, directional cinematic lighting with the Aputure (amaran) Light Dome Mini SE. This compact octagonal softbox delivers smooth, even illumination tailored for video and portrait filmmaking. Featuring a deep parabolic design, highly reflective interior, and fast-release rod system, it offers efficient light output in a lightweight package. With included diffusion layers and a travel case, it’s ideal for creators on the move.

Quick‑Setup Bowens Mount Octagonal Softbox

Designed for fast deployment, the Light Dome Mini SE uses eight quick-release rods that snap into place and collapse via pinched latches near the Bowens speed ring. This enables rapid assembly or teardown—perfect for location shoots or tight setups.

Deep Parabolic Design & Reflective Interior

Its octagonal, deep-parabolic shape combined with a highly reflective silver liner optimizes even light output—producing soft, directional illumination with minimal hotspots and smooth falloff from center to edges.

Included Diffusion and Inner Baffle

Comes with a 1.5-stop front diffusion cloth and a removable inner baffle, allowing softening control and fuller light spread. These diffusion layers help further soften point-light sources without coupling additional hardware.

Feather‑Light & Compact

Weighing just 0.73 kg (1.61 lb), the softbox packs down to 19 × 19 × 46.5 cm (7.5 × 7.5 × 18.3 in) when collapsed and opens to approximately 58 × 34 × 21.5 cm (22.8 × 13.4 × 8.5 in). It’s easy to transport in the included carry case, making it ideal for run-and-gun workflows.

Built for Bowens‑Mount COB Lights

Equipped with a universal Bowens mount, it pairs with popular COB LED fixtures including Amaran’s 150c, 300c, 60 x S, 100 x S, 200 x S and many third-party Bowens-mount lights. It is optimized for the 150c and 300c models but functional with most Bowens fixtures.

Photometrics (Example on Amaran Lights)

When paired with an Amaran 150c at 5,600 K and placed at 1 m distance, the dome produces ~2,522 lux (234 fc); at 3 m roughly ~320 lux; at 5 m around ~130 lux. Using a 300C light increases output significantly—up to ~5,150 lux at 1 m.
