Cygnus Softbox Set — Portrait
Tax included where applicable. Delivery, rigging and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
ELVARNIXO Shaping — light is made at the last metre
Softboxes are bought in minutes and used for decades; the Cygnus respects the decades — speedrings that spin under load, textiles stocked panel by panel, and cases that make vans happy.
A parabolic is a precision instrument pretending to be an umbrella: sixteen or twenty-four ribs holding a true curve, a focusing rod that glides and locks, and fabrics whose silver keeps its colour after the two-hundredth assembly. Ours are hand-finished, serialised, and repairable rib by rib.
Design & Craft
- S-type as standard; speedrings for major systems in the options
- Every panel, rib and layer stocked as a part for fifteen years
- Grids cut to true angles, labelled honestly
- Frames open in seconds and forgive the two-hundredth assembly
- Beam pattern measured on our photometric bench — the listing is the box

Care
Brush textiles dry, never wash silver fabrics, and let diffusion dry before rolling. Store parabolics on the rod, ribs relaxed. Small tears are repairable — send photographs to the concierge and parts ship from Prague.
Questions, Answered
How repeatable is the focus effect on the parabolics?
The rod is indexed — note the number, repeat the look. Beam maps at three rod positions ship in the box.
Can textiles be replaced?
Every panel, rib and diffusion layer is a stocked part for fifteen years. Modifiers should retire from fashion, not from failure.
The ELVARNIXO Promise
Every ELVARNIXO fixture ships with its own photometric and colour report — CRI, TLCI and SSI measured on our Prague bench for that serial number, not copied from a brochure.
