Westcott 40-Degree Egg Crate Grid for Rapid Box Switch 3' x 3'

The Westcott 40-Degree Egg Crate Grid for the Rapid Box Switch 3' x 3' gives photographers and filmmakers greater control over their lighting without sacrificing the soft, flattering quality produced by a large softbox. Designed to narrow the beam spread and reduce unwanted light spill, this lightweight grid helps you direct light exactly where it's needed. Whether you're creating separation with a rim light, highlighting hair, or adding controlled edge lighting, this grid is an invaluable addition to your lighting kit.

The Perfect Light Modifier For

  • Portrait photographers wanting greater control over softbox light spill.

Take Control of Your Light

The grid's honeycomb-style design narrows the spread of light from your softbox, helping you illuminate your subject while keeping light off surrounding areas. This allows for greater contrast, improved separation, and more precise lighting control, particularly when working in studio environments or confined spaces.

Maintain Soft Light Quality

Unlike many light control accessories that create a harsher look, this egg crate grid maintains the soft, flattering light quality that makes large softboxes so popular. The deeper cell design provides improved performance while preserving smooth transitions and natural-looking shadows.

Quick Setup and Easy Transport

The grid attaches directly to the Rapid Box Switch 3' x 3' using durable touch fasteners, allowing for fast setup and removal. When not in use, it folds down instantly into the included storage case, making it easy to transport and store alongside your lighting kit.

What's Included

  • 1 × 40-Degree Egg Crate Grid for Rapid Box Switch 3' x 3'
  • 1 × Storage Case

TFC's Verdict:

This is one of those accessories that can make a surprisingly big difference to your lighting. If you regularly use a large softbox and want more control over where your light falls, an egg crate grid is a worthwhile investment. It's particularly useful for portraits and video work where controlling spill light can dramatically improve the overall look of your images.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Abigail ★★★★★

The 40-degree grid attached to my softbox in under a minute, and it really tightened the beam for a controlled portrait setup. I love how it cuts down spill on dark backgrounds without killing the light output too much.

Riley V. ★★★★★

The 40-degree cell depth really nails the falloff—my background dropped two full stops without touching the box itself. Snaps into the Rapid Box Switch in seconds, and the velvet fabric feels sturdy enough for studio abuse.

Richard ★★★★★

Took a chance on this grid to tame the spill from my 3x3 softbox, and the 40-degree cells do exactly what they promise—my background is finally clean. Setup takes about two minutes with the Switch system, and it folds flat for the bag without any fuss.
