Bowens-mount and LED Modifiers
What’s old is new again, and the Bowens S mount lives on as versatile “standard” mount for low-heat LED fixtures that have COB-type emitters in monolight-style bodies.
We generally try to match LED modifiers with their intended fixtures from the same manufacturer, though the wide adoption of the Bowens mount makes it possible to mix and match. Have a look at our LED lights, and ask us if you have any questions!
