Invented in 1982, their unique, patented construction and design have won Elinchrom's large lightweight softboxes worldwide popularity. A lightweight die cast rigid central mounting for the flashhead inside the unit places the Elinchrom flashtube at the point of focus.
The optical result is a light source which is so exceptionally soft and even at the diffuser surface that many famous photographers use the Octa as a single light source for portrait photography. In the U.S. it is often referred to as "The Beauty Light."
