Westcott 40 Degree Grid For 16" X 30" Apollo Strip

Westcott 40 Degree Grid For 16" X 30" Apollo Strip | More controlled light

Westcott 40 Degree Grid For 16" X 30" Apollo Strip is a light-control grid made for the 16" x 30" Apollo Strip. It suits photographers who want to direct the strip’s light more deliberately, rather than letting it spread as freely. A grid’s job is to narrow the spread of light; here, the named angle is 40 degrees. That makes this a focused accessory for situations where spill matters and you want the light to stay more contained. It’s a straightforward pairing: the product name identifies both the grid angle and the Apollo Strip size it’s intended for. If you already use that strip and want more control over where its light falls, this is the specific grid to consider. There’s no need to read more into the name than that.

What the grid is for

Adding a grid changes how broadly light from a softbox spreads. In practical terms, that can help you keep illumination directed towards your subject and limit light reaching areas outside the intended coverage. The 40-degree designation gives you a clear point of reference when choosing this grid, rather than selecting an unspecified angle. It’s useful when you’re shaping a scene and want the strip’s output to feel more contained. The trade-off is simple: a grid is about controlling spread, not making the light cover a wider area. For an Apollo Strip setup in the stated size, this gives you a defined option for that kind of control. It’s a specific accessory, so its appeal comes down to whether that light-shaping approach suits the way you work.
