I recently got my hands on the Amaran Lantern 90, and I have to say, it's been a game-changer for my lighting setup. The 3ft spherical design provides this incredibly soft, wrap-around light that just makes everything look cinematic. Whether I'm shooting interviews or setting up a cozy scene, the 360º coverage ensures no harsh shadows—just smooth, even lighting.

What really blew me away was how quick it is to set up. The press-mount system is genius—literally push down, and boom, it's ready. No wrestling with rods or velcro like some other modifiers. I’ve used it with my Bowens-mount LED panels (ranging from 60W to 200W), and the light quality is consistently gorgeous. It’s like having a giant, flattering light bulb floating in your space.

Portability? Check. At just 1.76lbs, I toss it in the included carrying bag and take it everywhere—studio shoots, outdoor locations, even cramped hotel rooms for travel vlogs. It’s way easier than lugging around bulky softboxes, and the lightweight build means I can mount it on a boom arm without worrying about balance issues.

The only 'downside'? If you’re used to gridded softboxes for directional control, this is more of an ambient floodlight. But honestly? That’s not a flaw—it’s just a different tool. For natural-looking fill light (especially outdoors where umbrellas turn into kites), this thing is magic. Worth every penny.
