Unicorn Films offers the Amaran Light Dome Mini SE as a nimble, 22.8-inch (58cm) octagonal softbox purpose-built for creators who need efficient, soft-yet-directional light without the bulk. Its deep parabolic profile and highly reflective silver lining maximize output and deliver smooth, even falloff from center to edge for flattering skin tones and clean product highlights.
Weighing just 0.73kg, the Light Dome Mini SE is an ultra-light companion optimized for the Amaran 150c and 300c, and broadly compatible with Bowens-mount COBs. The quick-release rod system snaps into place for fast builds and collapses instantly via latch releases perfect for on-location interviews, tabletop setups, and small studios. The 8-sided front design creates rounder catchlights than square boxes, enhancing eye reflections and cosmetic appeal.
Two-stage diffusion control comes standard: an inner baffle to smooth the hot spot and a 1.5-stop front cloth to soften the beam, helping balance punch with softness. For tighter spill control, an optional fabric grid can be added to concentrate the spread and maintain contrast. In practice, users can expect significantly higher center lux versus bare COBs, with photometrics published for Amaran 150c/300c at multiple CCTs and distances, demonstrating efficient, even output across the frame.
Rent from Unicorn Films to add a punchy, compact soft source to Amaran COB kits streamlined for travel, quick corporate shoots, tabletop product work, and small sets that demand efficient light control and professional results.
