Westcott 40 Degree Grid For 43" Apollo Orb

Westcott 40 Degree Grid For 43" Apollo Orb | Keep light more focused

Light from a softbox can spill farther than you want, brightening a background or nearby areas of a scene. This 40-degree grid is made for the 43" Westcott Apollo Orb and helps keep the light more contained. It’s a practical option when you want to direct the softbox’s output more carefully rather than changing the light source itself. That can be useful for portraits, small product setups or any scene where stray light is getting in the way. The grid’s angle gives you a clear starting point for controlling spread, though the result will also depend on how you position the light and what’s around your subject. If you use the specified Apollo Orb and want more control over where its light falls, this is the purpose-built grid to consider. It’s a focused accessory, not a general-purpose lighting modifier.

More control over spill

A grid helps make a softbox’s light more directional, which can make light placement easier to manage in a tight setup. For example, you may want the subject lit while keeping some light off a nearby wall or background. The 40-degree rating is the key detail here: it describes the grid’s intended light spread, rather than the size of the softbox. It won’t replace decisions about distance, angle or exposure, but it gives you another way to shape the light from the Apollo Orb. If you’re happy with the Orb’s soft light and simply want to limit where it travels, that’s the job this accessory is meant to do.
