Professional Lighting Accessory
The Profoto Softbox Diffuser Kit provides a .5 f-stop diffuser designed for photographers using Profoto Softboxes who need to soften light output and reduce harsh shadows for a more natural look. It is not compatible with RFi, OCF, or Clic Softbox ranges, so owners of those systems cannot use this kit.
Dual-Function Light Control
The included diffuser creates even light distribution while also functioning as a neutral density filter, allowing photographers to shoot at wider apertures or longer exposures without altering colour balance. This dual capability adds creative flexibility for studio and location work where precise light intensity management is required.
.5 f-stop Diffusion Strength
The kit delivers a fixed .5 f-stop reduction, which determines the exact degree of softening and light loss applied to the source. Photographers requiring a stronger or weaker diffusion value will need a different kit, as this model offers only the single stated strength.

Questions about this item
Does the .5 f-stop diffuser need periodic replacement or cleaning?
The diffuser is made of high-quality fabrics and ships in a labeled soft pouch; clean gently when soiled and replace only if torn or stained.
What limits continuous use of the .5 f-stop diffuser during long shoots?
The fabric diffuser itself has no thermal or power limit; the practical limit is the heat tolerance of the Profoto Softbox and light head you pair it with.
Does the .5 f-stop diffuser add heat, noise or power draw when used all day?
No — it is a passive fabric panel that adds no power consumption, fan noise or heat; it simply reduces light output by half a stop.
