The Chimera Pancake Lantern, Small is a compact, omni-directional soft light solution designed for rental use. Its shallow profile provides broad, even illumination while occupying less space than a traditional lantern softbox, making it suitable for confined locations or as an accent light in larger setups.

Key Features

• Compact size: 21" square by 12" deep for a low-profile footprint.
• Omni-directional soft lighting: Produces even, diffuse light to illuminate small rooms or create ambient fill.
• Portable and quick to set up: Lightweight frame and simple components streamline on-set deployment.
• Versatile placement: Can be used suspended, on a stand, or as a practical fixture for ambient scenes.

Use Cases

• Small-room illumination for interviews, product shoots, or location portraiture.
• Accent or fill light in larger spaces where full-size lanterns are impractical.
• Run-and-gun or location shoots where compact soft, wraparound light is preferred.

Included with your rental

• Frame
• Skirt
• Short pins
