Indirect Litemotiv is a fantastic light source for fashion and portrait photography

The unique folding system allows a speedy setup of the Indirect Litemotiv in any location and with each softbox, there is a high quality carrying included to transport it safely anywhere you go.

Quality of light

The central mounting for the flash head places the flashtube at the point of focus inside these softboxes for the best possible results. The optical result is a light source, which is so even with superb colour saturation at the diffuser surface, that many famous photographers use the Octa as a single light source for portrait photography.

More light

The fabric of the Litemotiv softboxes is unique. It offers 30% more light output than our standard Rotalux fabric, also used for Portalite, while being just as lightweight. It also offers the same distinctive Elinchrom look than our other softboxes but this fabric is heat-resistant, meaning that 650W hot lamps can be used with Litemotiv.

Compatibility

The integral reflector of Elinchrom flash units is designed to maximise efficiency and even light distribution, they are the best for the Indirect Litemotiv. The flashtube is precisely positioned 20 mm from the surface to avoid the inherent uneveness of non-concentric flashtubes. The bayonet mount is compatible with all Elinchrom flash units since 1974.

Portability

Their unique patented construction and design has taken these softboxes around the world in the most incredible locations. That's why every Indirect Litemotiv includes a carrying bag. The setting up/down process is so simple that altough these are very big softboxes, they can be quickly folded down into one carrying bag for confortable transportation.

Elinchrom Litemotiv 120 cm. From monster Beauty Dish to monster Softbox! Introducing the Elinchrom Litemotiv range, the parabolic extension to Elinchrom's Rotalux Deep Octa 70 and 100cm softboxes. These 16 sided softboxes produce close to perfect circular catch-lights and with a heavy duty bracket (sold separately) for  precise and easy positioning of the light.

Improved Durability

The new material used in the Litemotiv softboxes is more durable than the Elinchrom Rotalux range. Improved heat and tear resistance ensures the longevity of your Litemotiv. Furthermore, a removable central ring of soft box material (the area closest to your flash head) allows for heat dissipation during extensive use of hot modelling lights, and can be replaced at a fraction of the softbox price should it get damaged.

More Efficient

The improved design of the Litemotiv fabric is more efficient up to 1/3 stop. Get the most out of your flash heads with Litemotiv. Each soft box comes equipped with a velcro attachable inner diffuser and front diffuser. Use both together to create a beautiful soft light source, or remove the front diffuser (or both) to get a beauty dish style lighting effect. We recommend adding an Elinchrom Deflector set to your Litemotiv, to open up a variety of creative option.

Litemotivs come in two sizes, 120cm Deep and 190cm Deep

• Exclusive fabric for exceptional light quality
• Sixteen sided softboxes, creating close to perfect catchlights
• Anodised rod colour coding for faster assembly
• Strong and stable bracket supports all Elinchrom units
• Additional brackets are available for Broncolor, Profoto and Bowens
• Removable rear cover for easier setup and shoot through functionality
• Two diffusers, inner and outer, for perfectly soft diffusion
• Without these diffusers, this is a giant beauty dish
• Unique to Elinchrom, optional deflectors fine tune the Litemotiv effect
• Available in 120 and 190 cm including carrying bag

The 16 anodised rods are heat-resistant, enabling work with high temperature light sources. They are made out of flexible aluminium so that they follow the parabolic shape of the Litemotiv. The colour coding of the bracket and rods enable trouble free assembly. These are studio softboxes but their construction make them simple to setup but also to disassemble.

The double diffusion panels have been specialy designed to produce very soft light. The innner diffuser also incorporates a central circular panel to avoid any hotspot, thus offering the most homogenous light possible. It is possible to remove both diffusers to obtain a very crispy and contrasty light, similar to beauty dish... but in much bigger!
