ABSTRACT:
A system for controlling the light cast by a studio light (8) comprises a collapsible light diffuser or soft box (4) having open opposite ends and a light-reflective inner surface for diffusing light passing therethrough. A number of support brackets (40) extend along the outer surface of the soft box and a number of adjustable clamps (6) couple the support brackets to the working end of a light casing (12) so that the soft box is fixed to the light casing for movement therewith. The soft box can be quickly assembled and reassembled for movement between different locations, and it is sufficiently rigid to remain self-supporting when the light source is moved around or redirected. The system further includes a collapsible light container or snoot (10) telescopically coupled to the soft box for adjusting the amount of diffusion of the light to contain or direct the diffused light to a general area on the set.
