A compact alternative for creating soft, even, and omnidirectional light for entire rooms, the Pancake Lantern and Skirt Set from Intellytech uses hook-and-loop fasteners to attach to the Mega-8 LED mat light. The pancake lantern can be used on its own or with the included skirt for greater control over light spill, and its adjustable fasteners allow for the alteration of light spread ranging from an omnidirectional overhead source to direct downlight.

Q: 6. can I use this with my profoto lights? will my speed rings work with this lantern soft box?

A: I used this with the profoto b2 light and it worked really well. The light needs to be pretty lightweight or else you'd need a really strong stand/arm/counterweight. Would be better with an exposed tube like the profoto pro lights but I was still very happy. I used it directly overhead a group of people at a table and also used it close to individuals for portraits.
