A softbox for use with a light source has structures to collapse the softbox. These structures include a ring-support assembly. The ring support assembly includes a support ring and a light ring, both of which couple to frame arm assembly. The frame arm assembly supports the material of the softbox. When the support ring and light ring are separated, the frame collapses. The structures of the light box may be entirely disposed outside of the direct path of the light source to the target, facilitating, in part, the softbox being integrated with other light manipulating devices proximal to the light source.

A collapsible marshalling wand system that includes a marshalling wand that can be set in an elongated operational configuration while used, as well as a smaller collapsed configuration when not in use, and an accompanying recharging device, along with an accompanying charging station. The marshalling wand includes a plurality of wand portions integrated telescopically, with the wand portions including a lighting system and a wireless alert system. The charging station allows for multiple marshalling wands to be recharged simultaneously in a variety of locations. As such, the collapsible marshalling wand system allows all ground personnel to conveniently keep a marshalling wand with them at all times as well as for extra marshalling wands to be stored at a charging station positioned on runways.
