Experience lighting at the highest level with the Elinchrom Litemotiv Indirect Octa 190 cm, an iconic softbox trusted by fashion, portrait, and commercial photographers worldwide.

“To achieve the perfect soft lighting I use the Elinchrom FIVE with the Indirect Litemotiv Octa Softbox 190 cm as my main light” /Photographer Yuliya Panchenko
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.
