Rotalux Indirect Softbox Octa 150 cm is a large, precise light shaper for photographers who want to combine soft, wraparound light with clear direction and a high level of control. Based on the Rotalux range, it uses an indirectly mounted internal flash head to create exceptionally even light distribution with a distinctive light character.
Indirect light with a defined character
The deep octa shape combined with indirect reflected flash light creates a crisp, directional quality of light when used without a diffuser. With the included external diffuser attached, the light becomes softer with gentler shadow transitions. This makes the Rotalux Indirect Softbox Octa 150 cm a flexible choice for beauty, fashion, portrait, and commercial productions.
Built for even light distribution and high color accuracy
Elinchrom’s custom silver reflective Rotalux fabric is the result of extensive research and development. It delivers even light distribution and the wraparound light quality that photographers around the world value in the Rotalux range.
All diffusers are manufactured without optical brighteners, helping to ensure neutral color reproduction and high color accuracy. For photographers working with skin tones, textures, and consistent color, this supports a more reliable workflow.
Designed for professional use
Rotalux Indirect Softbox Octa 150 cm is built with durability, efficiency, and smooth handling in mind. The signature grey piping reinforces seams and corners while also helping to prevent unwanted light leaks on set.
The softbox features a 360° rotating system with screw locking for precise positioning. It folds down like an umbrella without requiring the softbox to be disassembled, making it fast to pack down and easy to transport between assignments.
Flexible light shaping for different looks
With a removable internal diffuser, external diffuser, and the option to stack multiple diffusers, you can fine-tune the quality of light to suit your subject and style. For even more control, optional 30° Rotagrids are available. They attach with hook and loop fasteners to reduce spill light and tighten the beam angle without losing the soft quality Rotalux is known for.
You can also add the optional deflector set which works with the unique central umbrella shaft on Elinchrom heads, giving you further control over the softness, hardness, and overall character of the light.

Exceptionally even light distribution
