Linkstar Striplight Softbox 35x160cm + Honeycomb Lqa

Linkstar Striplight Softbox 35x160cm + Honeycomb | Shape light into a long, controlled strip

Its 35 × 160 cm strip shape is the defining choice: it gives you a long, narrow light source rather than the broad spread of a square softbox. The Linkstar Striplight Softbox is suited to photographers who want to shape light along a subject, such as for a portrait, a full-length figure or a product with a reflective edge. The included honeycomb grid helps keep the light from spreading as widely, so you can work with a more contained strip of illumination. That can be useful in a studio where light falling onto nearby backgrounds or set pieces is a concern. The softbox’s proportions are particularly practical for vertical highlights; turn the strip to change their direction. It’s a specific tool, not a general-purpose softbox for lighting a whole room. If you need broad coverage, its narrow width is worth bearing in mind.

Using the strip and honeycomb

A long source gives you room to light more of a subject’s height while keeping the light relatively narrow across its width. This makes the shape useful when you want a defined highlight on a person or object without filling a large area. The honeycomb adds another way to manage the spread: it limits light travelling off to the sides compared with using the softbox without the grid. The exact result depends on how you position the light and the subject, so expect to adjust placement to suit your set rather than rely on the grid alone.

For portraits, the strip can be set vertically to create a tall highlight, or turned for a different direction of light. On products, it can help define edges and reflective surfaces. Those are common uses for this shape, rather than a promise of a particular look; the subject’s finish, distance and surrounding light all affect the result. The listed colour is white. If you’re choosing between a strip and a wider softbox, the main trade-off here is straightforward: this one favours a narrow, elongated area of light over broad coverage.
