Aputure Lantern 90 (3")

The Aputure Lantern 90 is a large spherical soft light modifier that transforms Bowens-mount point-source fixtures into powerful ambient sources. With a 90cm (3-foot) diameter and a 270° beam spread, it provides broad, even illumination that’s perfect for overhead setups, room fill, or soft key light. Its larger size compared to smaller lanterns produces an even softer, more flattering quality of light, making it especially effective for interviews, group scenes, and narrative filmmaking.

The Lantern 90 includes a removable skirt with adjustable panels, giving crews precise spill control when they need to direct or limit the light’s spread. Built with a Bowens mount, it’s compatible with Aputure, Amaran, and other Bowens-based fixtures. Despite its size, the Lantern 90 is lightweight and collapsible, allowing for quick setup and easy transport to location shoots.
