The easy mounting Rotalux system is probably the most widely copied of all softbox systems. However, it is easier to copy a design than a quality and the Rotalux softboxes remain the best in their class.
square
They are lightweight and unlike many other softboxes, fold down just like an umbrella and can be easily stored in the included carrying bag. The quality of light is outstanding because of their construction and the internal diffuser provides the softest and most even light possible. The optional deflector set takes advantage of the unique Elinchrom central shaft to modify the softness / hardness and colour like no other softbox system. Rotalux adapter rings are now also available for other brands of flash.
Rotalux square softboxes are good for head and shoulder portraits, products or for use in smaller spaces. The catchlight can be similar to windows.
octogonal
Rotalux octa softboxes are very popular among beauty and fashion photographers, as they prefer the round catchlight given by these softboxes. You can make yourself a great folding beauty dish just by removing the front and inner diffusers and adding one of the optional deflectors.

Rotalux strip softboxes are great for product photography, especially bottles and other round reflectives items. They can also be used for ¾ length portraits and also widely used to light backgrounds where the length helps avoid fall-off from top to bottom.

Rotalux deep octa softboxes have become the most popular shape among Rotalux users. The narrow shaped Deep octa reduces the spread of light and offers sharper shadows compared to standard sized octagonal softboxes. They provide a very even diffuse light over the front screen and are an excellent crispy and direct light when used without diffusers to give a beauty dish look.
