Westcott 40-DEGREE Egg Crate Grid For Rapid Box Switch 1x2 & Strip 10 X 24

Westcott 40-Degree Egg Crate Grid for Rapid Box Switch 1x2 & Strip 10 x 24 | Keep light more controlled

Without a grid, light from a softbox spreads broadly across the scene. This Westcott egg crate grid gives you a way to keep that spread more controlled when working with the Rapid Box Switch 1x2 or Strip 10 x 24. It’s intended for photographers who want to direct light more deliberately in a portrait or studio setup, rather than letting it wash across nearby areas. The stated angle is 40 degrees, so this is a specific grid, not a general-purpose modifier. Its value is in that focused control: you can shape where the softbox’s light falls while working with the named Westcott setups. If you already use one of those modifiers and want more direction from its light, this is the accessory to consider. The honest limitation is simple: it’s for the listed setups, so its appeal depends on using one of them.

Working with a grid

An egg crate grid sits over a light modifier and limits the sideways spread of light. That can help keep light from spilling onto a background or an area you’d rather leave darker. It doesn’t replace the light itself; it changes how that light spreads through the scene. This is useful when you’re arranging a portrait and want to keep the brighter part of the frame more contained, or when a nearby surface is catching stray light. The effect still depends on where you place the light and how close it is to the subject, so think of the grid as a way to refine your setup, not as a shortcut to a finished look. Its 40-degree rating gives you a clear reference when choosing a grid for a more directed result.
