Frequently asked questions
What mount does the Tolifo Lantern 65mm use?
The Tolifo Lantern 65mm uses a standard Bowens mount, making it compatible with the vast majority of studio strobes and LED monolights that feature a Bowens-style speed ring.
Can I use the Tolifo 65mm Lantern with my continuous LED light?
Yes — the Tolifo Lantern 65mm is designed to work with both LED continuous lights and strobe/flash units, provided they have a Bowens mount, giving you flexibility across different lighting setups.
How much light does the lantern softbox absorb, and what is the skirt for?
The Tolifo 65mm Lantern absorbs approximately 1 stop of light as it diffuses output across its 270° spread. The included skirt attaches around the base of the lantern to restrict and control the light radius, reducing unwanted spill onto backgrounds or surrounding areas.
