This Octa Chimera Softbox from Nila is a modifier designed to compliment the Nila 150 bi-color LED light. It creates a diffused output for a softer look that is ideal for portraits and general lighting.

This low heat quartz softbox has a white interior for optimal output, plus a removable front diffuser and inner baffle for finer control over the level of diffusion. This softbox is compatible with select Chimera accessories including honeycomb grids. It mounts directly to the Nila 150 LED light via the light's integrated rod sockets.
