DoPchoice Debuts Airglow Float

News Image
Following the success of the original Airglow Booklight, DoPchoice debuts a new addition to their inflatable line—the Float.

This lightweight, inflatable, round, toplight modifier is made to maximise the versatility of COB, panel, mat, and tile LED fixtures by providing precise control, effortless set up and creative adaptability.

Simple to rig and compact to transport, the Float combines creative lighting advantages with utilitarian practicality. Available in 4-ft, 8-ft, and 12-ft diameter sizes, the system consists of two adjustable inflated rings, supporting a cylindrical side cover, creating a circular, spill-free softbox. An attachable white Snapcloth diffusion adds ultra-soft natural lighting characteristics while a reversible black-white skirt can be added to further direct illumination. Outfitted with a three point ceiling mount system, it is easy to loft into position.

New Airglow Float makes a smart toplight when mounted on popular LED panels or COB lights. Its up-face features an adjustable back wall which adapts to accommodate each unique lighting source, and can be rolled partially open or closed to reduce top spill. To create greater top-mounted diffusion the Float's height can be adjusted from 150mm-300mm by positioning the rings at different angles.

For an entirely different effect, lighting units can also be mounted inside the Float. Flexible LEDs such as LiteMat and LiteTile can be lined around the cylindrical inner wall to send soft even light downwards. For more control users can offset one of the rings at an angle to create a cylindrical wedge shape, to further direct the angle of light.

To achieve a booklight effect, a light fixture can be positioned inside the crux of the Float's wedge, bounced off the far wall and down through the Snapcloth diffusion for soft, even illumination. The Float can also be converted into a large bounce, (aka Snapbounce) by removing the cylindrical side cover and affixing an inner circular white backing. To mount, users can affix a Butterfly Ear via hook and loop to the outer lining of a ring so the entire fixture can be supported with a stand and grip head.

Built for effortless setup and maximum adaptability, the Float inflates quickly making it a hassle-free top, backlight, or bounce solution. Its tiltable depth adjustment ensures uniform, even illumination.

The Airglow Float and other DoPchoice light modifiers, including the rest of the inflatable Airglow family, will be at BSC Expo LCA Stand #133.
