Westcott 40 Degree Egg Crate Grid For Stripbank 1x4 Switch

Westcott 40 Degree Egg Crate Grid For Stripbank 1x4 Switch | Keep light where you want it

Light from a stripbank can spread farther than you want, catching a nearby wall or background when you’re trying to keep the scene controlled. This Westcott egg crate grid is made for the Stripbank 1x4 Switch and gives you a way to limit that spread. Its 40-degree angle makes it a practical option when you want the softbox’s light directed more deliberately rather than spilling broadly into the room. It suits photographers who use the named stripbank and want more control over where its light falls, especially in a compact studio or a carefully arranged portrait setup. The grid won’t change the character of the light source; its job is to help manage direction. That distinction matters: choose it for controlling spill, not for making the light softer.

A more deliberate spread

An egg crate grid is useful when the softbox is in the right place, but its light reaches areas you’d rather leave darker. For example, you may want to keep light off a background, limit spill onto a subject’s surroundings, or make the stripbank’s contribution more contained within a set. The 40-degree designation gives you a clear reference for this grid’s light-control angle, rather than leaving you to guess which version you’re looking at. It’s a focused accessory for a specific setup, not a general-purpose modifier for any softbox. If you work with the Stripbank 1x4 Switch and find yourself flagging its output by hand, a matching grid offers a more direct way to shape the spread. One honest point: a grid narrows the light’s reach; it doesn’t remove the need to place and aim the softbox carefully.
